Learn how to proactively manage change within your projects

Change management is an essential tool for project managers, as it provides a structured approach to preparing, supporting, and helping individuals, teams, and organisations transition through changes brought about by a project. At Allegra we work with PMs from all types of organisations, and understand the unique challenges and needs when it comes to their change management requirements.

Our training gives project managers proven tools to navigate the many complexities change presents to ultimately achieve better project success rates. We have a dedicated 1 day workshop introducing change management to project managers, plus a range of other training options to support your journey into the change and transformation arena.

Project management and change management complement each other, each playing a critical role in the success of a business transformation.

Certified training for project managers by project managers

At Allegra, our team is comprised of project managers as well as change managers. We understand firsthand the complexities and challenges project managers face when it comes to managing all types of change with their projects. This experience allows us to deliver very specialised training using real case studies of how change management can be applied in a project environment.

It is a well-established view that project management and change management complement each other, especially when undergoing a business transformation. Project managers with a solid foundation in change management are highly sort after because they can align their project's assets, resources and goals with those of the broader organisation. Our training options cater for  PMs with no change management experience through to those who want to add more advanced CM certifications to their skillsets.

How change management can help improve your project success rates

Change resistance

Helps team members, stakeholders, clients and other affected parties embrace change rather than resist it.

Team performance

The tools, mindset and processes promoted by change management will significantly enhance performance in many areas across your team.

Reduces downtime

Proactively planning for inevitable changes throughout the project and developing contingency plans will significantly decrease disruptions and downtime.

Stakeholder engagement

Helps project managers inform, align and engage stakeholders throughout the project, particularly when changes occur.

Minimises risks

By proactively managing the risks of change, project managers can prevent issues before they escalate.

 

Leadership skills

Lead your team and stakeholders through change with confidence, empathy, and strategic foresight.

Better communication

Change management introduces transparent, concise and consistent communication across all people involved in the project.

Team building

When change is properly managed, it builds trust, cohesion and continued productivity amongst teams contributing to the project.
