Why this topic matters

In this session, project management educator Justin and former Citibank COO and change advisor Ani Filipova team up to show you what change management actually looks like at the project level — not the theory-heavy, certification-style version, but the real, practical kind that keeps your project team aligned and moving when everything around them is shifting.
