As a Project, Program, or Portfolio Manager your career success hinges on your ability to lead successful and sustainable change.

Yet, the harsh reality is that 70% of major organizational changes fail to meet their mission-critical objectives.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to build your Change Intelligence to achieve impactful and lasting results for your organization, team and career.

Barbara A. Trautlein will explore the distinction between Change Management and Change Leadership, how to lead the people side of change and reframe resistance from your enemy to your ally, and the “triple enablers” to leverage for change.

Change Intelligence is a competency that can be measured and developed just like any other leadership skill.

Cloud computing enables development teams to get applications into production faster.

IT Service Management (ITSM) leaders must adopt new strategies and change existing processes or risk becoming a barrier to success.

Cloud computing requires DevOps—the blending of development and operations with the goal of accelerating time-to-market and reducing time-to-value.

The good news is that ITIL is uniquely positioned to accelerate DevOps, but it requires changes to existing ITSM processes.

In this hour-long webinar, you will learn:

  • How to fine-tune your ITIL processes to move your operations into high gear and make sure your organization benefits from cloud computing
  • The many ways cloud changes business and how IT has to respond to remain relevant
  • How ITIL is perfectly positioned to facilitate DevOps
