Recognizing change has many beneficial aspects for Professional Engineers. The most prevalent is when managing projects for the client and company. The other, and no less important, is when managing change from an OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 (l) Management of Change (MOC) perspective. Often, these two changes are one and the same.
Change in project scope most often results in scope change that must be managed for clients and companies. These change types result in billable hours and budget deviations that can be a source of contention between a Project Manager and their client or company management. In turn, scope, schedule, and budget can either be brought back into compliance or a cause for unpleasant discussions.
Professional Project Engineering Managers must possess the proper skills to handle change in an appropriate manner. Having the skills to manage a conversation with a client or manager when change occurs is key in being perceived as a professional or failing. The earlier in your career you develop this emotional and professional intelligence skill, the quicker you will excel in your chosen field as a Professional Engineer.
This module is not just for Project Managers, but anyone involved in change review discussions. Engineering Department Managers, Engineering Supervisors, Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) leaders and participants, Engineering Supervisors and Project Design Engineers can all benefit from this knowledge.
The sooner a change is recognized, the faster it can be documented, so any impacts to scope, schedule, budget, and managing change can be investigated. If you are a part of any of these roles, then this course will benefit you.
This course will define both project change and process change. It will also offer the skills required to have difficult conversations over scope or process changes.
