Topic:
Organizational Change Management (OCM) the Missing PA (Process Area)
Abstract:
The benefit of compliance to the CMMI can not be realized if an organization is unable to adapt the behavior of its people to comply with their defined process. This presentation will define the Goals and Practices of Organizational Change Management, describing the “what” so organizations can define the “how” that will enable change within their organization. All the material delivered will be supported by accepted theories in change management. The goals identified will be compatible with recognized three-step change processes first introduced by Kurt Lewin in 1947 This model of change is based on the theory that change occurs through three phases, commonly referred to as unfreeze, change, and refreeze.
