Change Management Lessons with Debbie Cameron
Wednesday, September 17, from 3-4pm Eastern, Noon Pacific
Build Consulting Partner Debbie Cameron and change management expert in a webinar on when you can rescue a nonprofit technology project using change management techniques.
It is never too late to go back and re-assess where change management best practices can help.
Learn how to use change management principles to get more out of your nonprofit technology investments
and rescue a tech project that hasn’t succeeded – yet.
Do you have a technology tool that is not living up to expectations?
In an ideal world, change management would help inform three main phases of technology project implementation: planning, during, and after go-live. Build Consulting curated a three-part video series with Debbie Cameron, change management expert at Build Consulting, walking through the Build philosophy and providing best practices and examples at each stage of nonprofit tech project management.
But what if you weren’t present for the entire project? What if you are facing a project that isn’t going well – that you inherited – a technology tool that your organization is paying for but everyone hates – a tool your organization is stuck with … is there still a role for good change management? Is it too late to use change management best practices to rescue these projects?
In this new webinar, Debbie shares techniques and tools to help analyze where change management can support implementation after technology change.
As with all our webinars, this presentation is appropriate for an audience of varied IT experience.
