Why is Change Management Important?

International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA)
About this episode

Change is at the heart of what business analysis professionals do every day. Everything we do is geared towards change and requires some level of management. In this episode, Scott and Susan define what "change management" means and what it might look life for business analysis professionals across their career lifecycle and across the project lifecycle. We'll also share lots of stories about change management efforts we've been part of. 

Do you have questions about this topic? Ask us a question at live@iiba.org or leave us a voice message on our podcast homepage.

IIBA members can find books and videos on change management in IIBA's online library
