Project managers view of OCM and change management view of project management Project manager s view of OCM: Not explicitly defined as a PMBOK Guide Knowledge Area Has something to do with communications and training Not sure how to build this into the WBS and IMS OCM practitioner s view of project management: An essential enabler of organizational change management 4
Organizational Change Management The holistic process of leading an organization, and the people in it, through planned change building buy-in for that change, anchoring that change in business operations, and managing and measuring the change, so that the change is implemented and sustained and the desired benefits of the change are realized; ensuring that the people in an organization are ready, willing, and able to adopt changes Source: Booz Allen Hamilton 5

Three examples of PMO roles in implementing OCM All examples are based on implementing PMOs for U.S. federal government programs, from 2000 to the present PMO statement of work defined by contract All PMOs supported by integrated government/contractor teams Basis for best practices in presentation 8
Example 1 Large department organizational transformation Program scope: Transform and re-organize a 100,000- person federal organization PMO role: Manage and drive transformation PMO approach to OCM: OCM deliberately considered by PMO in overall program strategy Established Executive Steering Committee Client business staff in design and implementation teams Team charters and work plans for all teams OCM workstreams at agency level and embedded in implementation teams 9
Example 2 Small department technology transformation Program scope: Implement COTS technology to improve customer service and increase efficiency PMO role: Manage the transformation program, integrate multiple implementation vendors PMO approach to OCM: OCM deliberately considered by PMO in program planning Establish Executive Steering Committee Team charters and work plans for PMO/business/contractor teams OCM as separate team and workstream OCM activities in Integrated Master Schedule 10
Example 3 Large agency transformation Program scope: Multiple programs to transform agency to improve quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction PMO role: Enterprise PMO, providing oversight of multiple programs PMO approach to OCM: OCM not primary role of PMO Executive and business owner sponsorship of all programs Implementation teams directly report to business sponsor organizations Develop Transition Plan template and require for all programs 11
