E86 Understanding Change Management with Tim Creasey
In this episode of Project Management Office Hours, Tim Creasey joins PMO Joe to discuss Change Management, ADKAR, Prosci, and the Boston Red Sox.
“My personal AHA! is to help people see change. The challenges of change is unlockable because most of the time I think we have the answers within and how do we see the challenges in front of us is something that we can unlock.” -Tim Creasey
PMO Joe and Tim talk about using complimentary disciplines with a common objective. Project Management and Change Management are complementary in nature in terms of aligning on the fact that we’re both here to land this change to the best value to the organization. Tim suggests that if we agree on the horizon, change management and project management are expected allies, or expected collaborators in that journey.
“Project management prepares the solution for the organization. Change management prepares the organization for the solution.”

ABOUT PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE HOURS SERIES
Project Management Office Hours is intended to provide Project Management professionals a place to drop in and discuss Success Stories, Best Practices, and Lessons Learned. Project Management Consultant Joy Gumz has shared with us, “Operations keep the lights on, strategy provides the light at the end of the tunnel, but project management is the train engine that moves the organization forward.”
Each of us has a unique story to tell, but collectively we share a message that organizations who embrace Project Management Best Practices perform better than those which don’t. Organizations which align Projects to Strategy perform better. Organizations with Engage Executive Sponsors deliver better results. Organizations which measure Project Management performance outperform those which don’t.
During our Project Management Office Hours, we hear directly from Industry leaders how to make an impact in our profession. How we, collectively, will Advance Project Management Best Practices, One Listener at a time!
