Abstract
A better understanding of how to implement change can help technology-based organizations improve their own development processes as well as to assist them in producing technologies that have a better chance of being taken up and applied.
This article demonstrates how the process of implementing change at group and individual levels mirrors the organization's strategic innovation processes.
‘One study suggested that 31% of projects were cancelled before completion, 53% had overrun their budgets, and only 12% of 3,682 projects surveyed were on time and on budget.'
