Today, the ability to nimbly transform and adapt has become a necessity for organizations, yet data from McKinsey indicates that 70 percent of large-scale transformation efforts fail to achieve their goals. In response, organizations are evolving beyond the usual top-down approach to transformation and leveraging collective buy-in and support from their entire workforce. According to Brightline’s Strategic Transformation Research , organizations that successfully transform quickly and adeptly are almost two times more likely to place an emphasis on developing internal talent which builds employee commitment to larger organizational goals.
“Businesses today are facing unprecedented disruption. To effectively navigate this everchanging climate, they need to evolve, and to power growth, enterprises should have a gymnast character to transform from within. Enterprises should be engaging employees at all levels instead of solely relying on senior leaders or external consultants,” said Sunil Prashara, President and CEO of PMI. “Transformation isn’t just a C-suite conversation anymore. This new course will impact both businesses and individual project leaders on the building blocks to implementing successful transformation efforts, enabling them to support these initiatives and be true changemakers within their organizations.”
Through this online course, project professionals will learn:
- The five building blocks to any successful organizational transformation
- Best practices to shift people, mindsets, and performance
- How to successfully blend business strategy with project management skills
Upon completing the course, participants have the option to earn an organizational transformation micro-credential through a 30-question exam, to help solidify and apply their learned knowledge of transformation fundamentals. The online course and micro-credential are designed to support professionals during an organizational transformation and aid them in their own professional development by making them ambassadors for organizational change and helping to open doors to additional career opportunities and growth.
