| What is a Best Practices Roundtable? |
A Best Practices Roundtable is a small group
discussion focused on insights and lessons learned for managing
the people side of change. The goal of a Best Practices
Roundtable is to promote meaningful dialogue about why some
changes succeed while others fail drawing on key findings from
Prosci's 2009 edition of Best Practices in Change Management
- a benchmarking report with lessons learned from 575
participants from 65 countries. Prosci's goal is to make it as
easy as possible for you to conduct a Best Practices
Roundtable with your coworkers and colleagues. |
| Who should hold a Best Practices Roundtable? |
The short answer is: anyone who is working to bring about
successful change in their organization. The longer answer
is: a Best Practices Roundtable makes a great one-hour
meeting agenda for a variety of groups you may currently be
involved with. Below are four potential ideas of groups you
could hold a Best Practices Roundtable for:
- Internal groups dedicated to change: a
Center of Excellence, Community of Practice, HR or OD
consultants, project managers, communication or training
specialists, Change Agent Network, alumni of Prosci's
certification program, etc
- Professional groups in a discipline connected to
change: Project Management Institute (PMI) local
chapters, American Society for Training and Development (ASTD)
chapters, Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM)
chapters, etc.
- Industry groups: both large and small,
public and private organizations
- Project teams: working on a particular
project
- Teams in your organization that have been certified in
Prosci's methodology
