Has your government ever attempted to launch a procurement reform, only to encounter resistance from stakeholders?

Implementing change in any organization can be challenging. In public procurement, it can be especially tricky due to competing priorities and comfort with traditional ways of operating. The Procurement Excellence Network facilitated a training on change management and overcoming obstacles in driving procurement transformation within your government.

In this training session, we explored diagnostic and analytical tools to help you identify and move past barriers to implementing reforms. These strategies will help you to take a creative approach to change management by considering the motivations driving various stakeholders, including individuals, departments, and vendors.

 

Post-Event Session: We held an optional 30-minute discussion following the event for open dialogue with peer governments and GPL experts on experiences, best practices, and strategies for navigating change management challenges.
