Prosci Research’s fifth longitudinal study shows a direct correlation between meeting project objectives and managing the people side of change. More than 400 project leaders and change management practitioners representing organizations from 59 countries share lessons learned and key success factors in this new benchmarking study.
“Projects with excellent change management programs met or exceeded objectives 88% of the time, while projects with poor change management met or exceeded objectives only 17% of the time,” stated Tim Creasey, Prosci’s Director of Research and Development and co-editor of the new study.
The 2007 edition of the report titled “Best Practices in Change Management” (ISBN 978-1-930885-55-4) looks at the most critical change management activities, the biggest mistakes and what project teams would do differently next time. http://www.change-management.com/best-practices-report.htm
