LMU wants to hire a Change Manager to better enable the success of digital transformation projects. This person will work closely with the ITS leadership and staff, project teams, and stakeholders to focus on the people side of change - including changes to business processes, systems, and technology.

For example, prior to or post new system implementation, the CM might pull in users and show them how to perform a new task, say it takes ten clicks, and then ask the user about the experience.
