S7E3 Leading Change in Project Management with Jaci Cooper

The Change Artist

I’ve talked to many people who have a love hate relationship with project management. When there’s no project management rigor around the change programs we’re trying to drive, programs can feel chaotic and collapse under the weight of that chaos. When there’s dogmatic adherence to standard project management one-size-fits-all practices, it can feel like change initiatives collapse under the weight of non-value-add administrative burden.
This week on The Change Artist, we talk with Jaci Cooper, Director of Projects and Planning at the Kent District Library. She shares with us the change journey she guided her organization through, charting a course to improving project management rigor without stifling creativity and momentum within her organization, as well as how program management structures have actually helped Kent District Library lean more effectively into change..
