Interesting case study into change management


I think it's important to look for advice and inspiration from people who have effectively managed a tricky situation, so I was interested to read Benita Cegarra's blog post on Ecademy entitled Business: It's good to talk.


She was brought in by a client to make sure an important project was on track and make sure it all went smoothly - not an easy thing to do! She admitted that the team were against her involvement at first as they thought she was a spy for the big boss, but together they implemented a programme of regular meetings with the whole team to air fears and problems with the project and expose pitfalls early enough to be able to solve them without derailing the project. She goes on to give suggestions on how you can make this work in your organisation - an interesting read for any business dealing with large deadline-dependent projects!
