SPRINGERBRIEFS IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS SUCCESS...

This book examines the link between change and project management and how creating a closer
alignment between these two methodologies can yield greater benefits and mitigate elements of
failure of information systems (IS) projects. This study explores the underlying challenges and
practicalities of closer integration of the two disciplines and asserts that such a successful
change goes beyond the simple training of project managers in the practitioner context. Instead
it requires organizations to conceptualize the necessary challenges to realize the potential
benefits of this recommended integrated approach. The integration of both project and change
management has been advocated in existing research  but the challenges of moving from a current
position of separate methodologies  different standards bodies and in some cases totally
separate organizational structures  is a step change for many organizations. Change initiatives
where good change management practices are implemented  can increase the probability of
successful organizational change. The tasks of leading and sustaining change can be complex and
often entail the interplay of multiple factors involving action by people at every level of the
business. This book offers a guide that identifies the barriers and major challenges that may
arise in the development of the closer integration of change and project management. With a
better understanding of these issues  organizations can avoid such pitfalls when establishing
their own integrated approach.
