Project Managers are agents of change. Whether your project changes organizations, technologies, infrastructure or processes, the success of your project likely depends on *people* actually using your deliverables. But how much of your project is really focused on those people and helping them understand and make those changes? 

Spoiler: Kate *totally* nerds out on this one :-) After we recorded this, Kate and Kim quoted Tim to just about everyone they met. Mic drops! 

In this podcast we are joined by one of the most influential thought-leaders in Change Management today, Tim Creasey, the CIO of Prosci. Tim will take us through the 5 tenets of change management, and their corresponding plain language questions:

1. We change for a reason
2. • Plain language question: Why are we changing? 
   • Who has to do their job differently, and how? 
3. Organizational change requires individual change
   • How much of our outcomes depend on adoption and usage? 
4. Organizational outcomes are the collective result of individual change
   • What will we do to support adoption and usage? 
5. Change Management is an enabling framework for managing the people side of change
   • How will driving adoption and usage improve results? 
6. We apply change management to realize the benefits and desired outcomes of change
