Develop breakthrough competence for managing change through strategic project management office

摘要

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, the breakthrough is defined as "an important discovery or event that helps to improve a situation or provide an answer to a problem. Tony and Laura indicate that "the idea of breakthrough comes from the Japanese philosophy of hoshin" and describe hoshin as "a particulary great appeal in high technology markets principally, because it helps companies to prioritize. Hoshin actually prescribes that only a really small number of breakthrough projects or programmes should be attempted at any one time in a particular business are." [1] Based on these statements, the authors will explain the development way of breakthrough competence for managing change through strategic project management office. The development way consists of following steps: Determine the Change Management Maturity Model, Assess the Current Organizational Change Management Maturity Level, Report to the Executives, Develop Roadmap, Gain Executive Commitments, Initiate and Manage a Change Management Improvement Project, Assign a Change Manager, Sustain Change Management.
