  • Changing your project process
    Feb 4 2024

    Changing a process on a project usually comes about because you and your team know the current process isn't working. Yet even when people want a new process, they don't always make it easy to implement. Whether they acknowledge it or not, the reality is that the current process is comfortable because it is known - and a new process is uncomfortable because it is not.

    In this episode, Karine shares her expertise on effectively managing change and what you can do to help ease your people into a new or altered process.

    We explore:
    - Common problems people encounter when implementing a new process
    - When and why these problems typically occur
    - The first things a project manager should consider and do when changing a process
    - The importance of communication during periods of change
    - What you can do to make change easier
    - How to sustain success beyond this process change
