There are five main differences between change management and project management. Understanding them will help you make changes successfully. When we talk about managing a change, we tend to think about the business environment. But change happens on all levels: personal and professional. Both disciplines are intertwined and overlap in some parts, but at the same time, they are independent and quite different.
The common misconception is that project management is all you need to carry out transformations. However, change depends on people accepting it, and leaders must understand human behaviour. Change management discipline is the key to that.
Change management is a strategic discipline to prepare and help individuals, teams and companies make a change. Sometimes pivotal. In organisations, change management focuses on people responding to change and adopting new ways of working. Employee involvement is critical in driving change.
Change management is becoming more and more popular for personal life shifts. Family, friends, and social circle are equally essential and must be involved.
Change managers or transformational managers and directors are usually at mid-high levels and top levels of an organisation structure. The job descriptions are much more extensive, with many requirements but somehow ambiguous. There is a broad spectrum of areas to transform depending on the company. As change promoters, they take care of planning, managing, communicating and reinforcing change. They know their organisation’s inside out, understand its culture and learn how to lead complex transformations.
Project management helps implement changes in business and private life. It is an independent way of working. Change management relies totally on project management as a mean of executing actions. But we can use project management outside the scope of change. We work with project methodology in many different areas: construction, scientific research and development, political activities, writing a book… As long as we have to act in a temporary nature, a project is the best tool.
