Organizational change is increasingly being introduced via projects. However, although different disciplines feed into the management of effective organizational change, industry seems to view it as largely the domain of project/programme managers. The business environment is changing at an unprecedented rate, driven by the exponential growth in information and technology.

The Project Management Institute approach does make provision for a dedicated Change Management workstream, but not for a dedicated Change Manager/Director at either project or portfolio level.
