The need for integration between organizational project management and change management

Organizational project management focuses on the delivery of business objectives, using a multi-layered integration of portfolio, program, and project management. This is contrasted with change management, an approach to delivering changes in organizations based in a significantly different intellectual heritage. It is argued that although the differences between the philosophies underlying these disciplines can cause tension, an integrated approach involving project management and change management will be more effective in delivering organizational objectives than using either in isolation.
