Summary

In this comprehensive course, you will build change management skills to elevate your strategic approach to project management. While traditional project management focuses on ensuring a project is delivered on time and within scope and budget, it often overlooks the crucial aspect of managing the human side of change. This transformative class bridges the gap between project management and change management, equipping you with the tools and expertise to support the success of any project.

Overview
