Projects are the vehicles of change. As such, successful
initiatives require deft execution (project management) and the
proactive mitigation of human, political, and organizational change
issues (change management). Despite the fact that these two
disciplines are critical to the overall success of any
organizational initiative, these two fields are often practiced as
separate disciplines. Each applies its own set of tools,
techniques, and methodologies (and sometimes separate project teams
as well ) to the same initiative. This inadvertently creates a
schizophrenic approach to project success where critical
interdependencies and joint opportunities are never fully realized.
The results are unnecessary project expenses and delays, increased
stakeholder frustration, and low rates of organizational adoption
and business value realization. The Next Evolution Enhancing and
Unifying Project and Change Management bridges the gap between
traditional project management and the practice of
organizational/behavioral change management. Accompanying this book
is The Emergence One Method for Total Project Success; a detailed,
step-by-step methodology that integrates and enhances the most
effective perspectives, approaches, and techniques of the project
and change management disciplines into one sequential set of
activities. This ground-breaking book and project methodology is
authored by Thomas Luke Jarocki, an accomplished project manager
and change leadership professional who has logged nearly 25,000
hours working on numerous projects and change initiatives around
the world. With more than two decades of direct, on-the-ground
experience, Thomas has gained the practical know-how and real-world
insights often missed by researchers and other academic
theoreticians. The book is divided in two parts. Part One - The
Next Evolution discusses how most project management and change
management methodologies are hampered by outdated assumptions,
legacy inherited deficiencies, and narrow perceptions regarding
scope. It goes on to explain how both of these projects disciplines
need to evolve in order to better address the ever-evolving needs
of companies in the new millennium. Part One also traces the
evolution of both the project management and change management
disciplines, and details why well meaning attempts at integrating
these two disciplines quickly become disjointed and frustratingly
ineffective. It concludes by explaining why a unifying methodology
is required if total project success is to be achieved, and what
the main elements of a truly integrated next evolution approach
would look like. In Part Two, The Emergence One Method for Total
Project Success, the complete, step-by-step, Emergence One project
life cycle methodology is presented. Each chapter details the
goals, objectives, key stakeholder management needs, and activities
required to successfully complete each phase of the project life
cycle, along with all the real-world insights and caveats necessary
to execute with acumen. With this proven, practical, and flexible
approach, project professionals will no longer have to rely on two
separate methodologies to address all the critical project
execution, organizational adoption, and business value realization
challenges. The Emergence One Method captures the next evolution of
the project management and change management disciplines the
emergence of one comprehensive methodology for total project
success. Whether you are a project manager looking to enhance the
quality of project execution by augmenting your practices with
tangible, more project-centric change management techniques; a
change manager looking for a clearer path on how to best integrate
and leverage opportunities within a master project plan; or a
project leader trying to understand how best to manage it all, The
Next Evolution is the definitive guide for achieving total project
success.
