at our Synchronous session:
• Do you see yourself, as a Project
Manager/Engineer Manager, enabling and
managing Change?
• Do you believe that there is a synergy
between the two roles and processes
and if so, do you think that more should
be done to integrate them?
• Do you believe that Change
Management is a separate profession
and one in which Project/Engineering

, WHAT DOES THE APM SAY ABOUT
CHANGE MANAGEMENT?
• “Drawing on fields such as HR and
psychology and recognising the innate
variability and emotional nature of human
response, change management does not
always sit comfortably with the more formal
technical processes of project and programme
management. However, at its heart is a series
of approaches which when applied
appropriately will significantly increase the
chances of successful adoption and embedding
of change affecting people and culture,
processes, organisations or technology.”
