Over the last few years we have had a growing number of project management groups come to us because they want to improve their change implementation capabilities.  This usually throws up a number of issues. For example: “What is the actual role of the project manager in user groups when it’s time to actually implement what has been built and installed?” “How do I get people to do what I want when I have no power over  them?”

• What skills do change agents need?
• Selecting the right people to be agents
