Upcoming Online Education


October 28, 1 p.m. EASTERN

Change management is often underestimated in higher education IT, yet it is essential to project success. Drawing on experience leading large-scale institutional transformations, this session explores how to launch change management, influence leaders to invest in the people side of projects, and balance technical delivery with adoption and readiness. Attendees will gain practical lessons and approachable tools to reduce resistance, embed change management, and achieve sustainable outcomes (even without a formal change management role). 

As a result of participating in this Power60, participants will be able to: 

  • Recognize why technically successful IT projects may fail without attention to adoption, readiness, and leadership alignment. 
  • Apply practical starter change management tools to influence leaders and intentionally integrate the people side of change from the start alongside existing project management practices. 
  • Identify practical ways to address resistance, support managers, and embed change management practices even without a formal change management role.
