Change Management Strategies for Fundraisers

Whereas project management deals with the technical side of change, change management is an enabling framework for managing the people side of change. for a change to be successful, we must prepare, equip, and support individuals so that they successfully adopt the change.

• How to assess project health

• Eliminating barriers and building engagement (the five stages of change adoption)
