A Definition Of Organisational Change
Contents
Introduction
There is no single universally accepted definition of organisational change. Whilst the various perspectives offered by different authors provide valuable insights, they often emphasise particular aspects of organisations, including structures, processes, technology, people, culture, strategy or organisational performance.
Within this website, organisational change is defined as:
“The adaptation of an organisation’s Enterprise Ecosystem and, where necessary, its Governance Logic to support the achievement of its strategy and objectives.”
Consequently, organisational change management is defined as:
“The coordinated leadership, governance, delivery, and engagement activities through which organisational change is conceived, governed, delivered, adopted, and sustained.”
The concepts developed throughout these pages form an integrated framework in which each idea builds upon those that precede it. A shared understanding of organisational change provides the foundation needed to distinguish between different forms of change, explain how the framework fits together, and identify the organisational capabilities required to support effective change.
