There is a long-standing debate between Project Management and Change Management:

(1) Whether both roles can be combined with an individual acting as both a Project Manager and a Change Manager and have dual roles & responsibilities; or
(2) If they should be two separate roles but work in collaboration with each other and each has their separate roles & responsibilities.

I first wrote about this in 2014 and it is a long-standing and complex debate within organizational management. Of late it has reared its ugly head again on LinkedIn with a few posts that people are either supportive of (should be a single role) or outright disagree with (should be kept separate). For what it's worth, as you are probably already aware, I'm one of the latter and will always be regardless. Don't even try to convince me. I've been a Project Manager and I can tell you that if you want to practice Change Management properly you can't do it in the same "breath" as Project Management. Both disciplines are essential for successful project implementation and organizational transformation, yet they come with distinct approaches, skill sets, and mindsets.

In this "storyboard" style slide set I will explore the pros and cons of each approach based on previous information and industry practices.
