The Chairman of Suzuki motors once said, "Workers come to factories to work, not to walk". He set about using available technologies and strategies to empower his people to become more productive and happier by reducing the amount of walking around they had to do.
Technology constantly changes the options we have for how we accomplish work. It is an ongoing process, and it has a large impact on the environment within which an organization functions. Technology introduces logistical, mechanical, AND social changes that need to be recognized, even embraced, if we are to effectively implement state-of-the-art program/project management strategies in diverse organizations.
With over 100 in attendence at his presentation, Mr. Mauss discussed how to develop a planned, yet flexible, approach to managing change in an organization. By taking into consideration multiple dimensions of change, including human factors, logistics, and mechanical, the risk of failure associated with implementing positive change is greatly reduced.
