What is a business change project?
A project is a one-off set of activities to achieve a specific objective for your organisation or business. A project has a clear delivery date, and its own separately identifiable budget
Many projects have a business objective (the 'business' being the overall purpose of your organisation) and IT is just a tool. Critical to success are non-IT aspects such as training, working procedures, data setup and launch of the new product or service etc. Achieving these involves changing people's attitudes, responsibilities and performance.
We recognise that non-technical elements are as important, and as complex, as the technology and provide an integrated approach to managing the whole business change projects.
