PMGT5876: Change Implementation

2024 unit information

Projects always introduce change, but if the personal, psychological, and behavioural impacts of change are not managed carefully, unanticipated resistance may emerge hampering otherwise successful delivery. The organisational or behavioural change in projects range from small aspects of retraining to complete transformation of organisational values and behaviours. Change management plays a role at both the strategic and operational level. Organisational or behavioural change may be required to assist in achieving project outcomes, or the primary focus of the project may be the implementation of change. In this unit, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of change management including consideration of the psychological impacts of change, change competencies and leading change methodologies.
