The ITSM Iron Triangle

When your project is people-dependent, how do you get their buy-in?

Attitudes and behavior are the biggest barriers to making changes within organisations. IT process implementation is no different. How do you do it? What is the key? What are the pitfalls?

Meet Chris. Chris is assigned a seemingly impossible task - a problem that many previous project managers couldn't fix. Will Chris go the way of previous project managers and be 'given the opportunity to be more successful elsewhere' - or will Chris deliver the objectives and impress company leadership?

Find the keys

For this project to be successful, Chris needs to change the way colleagues and superiors approach the problem. Learn from the successes - and mistakes - as you join in the search for workable solutions and attempts to bring colleagues and superiors on board.
