Current era: Trends and figures
• We are living in the fifth technology revolution (source: Carlota Perez)• Globalisation and IT are key drivers• Average lifetime of an organisation has decreased from 90 years in 1935 to
12½ years (source: Het veranderboek - 2009)• Organisations transform from rigid pyramids into a network of collaborating
organisations (source: Nolan Norton Institute - 2000) • Business shifts from product orientation to service orientation (source:
management team - 2010). Some examples: Ericsson: 41% services in 2006 -> 69% services in 2009 Orange: 34% services in 2004 -> 49% services in 2008 -> 69% services in 2011
• Quick absorption of new IT-solutions can make the difference in the (global) competition
• Investments in organisational change projects (KPMG – 2004)– On average Euro 5 million per year per organisation in the Netherlands– On average Euro 9 million per year per organisation outside the Netherlands
• Organisations suffer from investments in (new) information technology solutions:– Poor results– Stagnating implementations– Very often aftercare effort is large

Current era: TOP
For issues related to organisational change in the fifth technology revolution, there is a permanent interaction in the context of Technology, Organisations and People (TOP-mix). For each issue the TOP-mix (context) is unique. Each TOP-mix contains its own dynamics and unpredictability. Results are never absolute. It has to be analysed which domain contributes most and in which domain change has the biggest impact. After that it can be concluded which approach and what form of steering has to be chosen.
TechnologyThis is the offering of available technology and its possibilities, limitationsand impossibilities. Even when limited to the domain of IT the offering is enormous. A technology that turns several industries upside down is the Internet. Internet has made it possible to create a virtual world (V-world)besides the physical world. The meaning of terms like place, time and presence has drastically changed in the V-world.
OrganisationsOrganisations apply IT to support their corporate objectives. IT gives organisations almost unlimited possibilities to reshape business processesand organisation structure (including location). Due to the shortening of life cycles of available IT, absorbing new IT has to be a key capability to transform and adapt quickly to changing circumstances.
PeopleNew IT solutions change the content of work and collaboration between employees inside and outside their own organisation. A proper attitude and stimulation of learning processes are important to quickly build up new knowledge and skills. Learning processes have to be tuned on the individual preferences and capabilities. Related to the affinity with IT, digital natives versus digital immigrants is a popular distinction, to clarify differences between (generations of) people.

Study background (1)
• Organisational change where IT is an important factor is a dynamic process and involves a certain degree of unpredictability. The IBAFrame change instruments are instruments which provide a guideline to handle the dynamics and unpredictability, and as such to exert a positive influence on the changes in which IT plays an important role. IBAFrame stands for IT Benefits Accelerator Framework. An alternative popular description of the acronym is Innovation Benefits Accelerator Framework. IBAFrame is a framework that supports to make more possible with information technology.
• The change instruments are focusing on the use on different levels of organisation, group and individual. The change instruments ensure alignment and connection between the changes in the IT solution and the changes in the work domains of users and IT support employees. It links ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ objectives for the IT related changes.
• IBAFrame distinguishes five levels of corporate power to change (A up to and including E). Score A means the organisation has no knowledge and experience in using IBAFrame change instruments. Score E is the highest score. This score indicates that change is a second nature to the organisation. Management and employees have expert knowledge in handling change instruments.

Study background (2)
• IBAFrame contains six leading principles for steering organisational change where IT plays an important role:
1. Shared objective and common view: determining the corporate objective leads to a common view for the destination. The complexity and impact are assessed and known.
2. A fitting approach: the pace for implementation should fit the complexity and circumstances. This supports the learning process and people are able to contribute.
3. Commitment and collaboration: the corporate objective is translated to detailed objectives on group level. Objectives and timelines on this level are realistic. Steering on this level is focused on collaboration and involvement inside and outside groups. Steering is focused on alignment and connection between project, users of IT-solutions and IT-support.
4. Stimulation of the learning process: there is sufficient room and time to learn and share insights. This forms the fundament for a proper adoption of (new) IT-solutions.
5. Attitude: an attitude of open-mindedness supports collaboration and involvement.
6. Competences: (basic) knowledge about technology, organisation and people and their interaction is important besides knowledge and experience with coordination of IT related organisational change.

Study background (3)
• Data is collected on a quick scan basis between 2007 and 2009 from (international) organisations in the Netherlands in private and public sector.
• 46 projects (or situations) where information technology (IT) plays an important role have been studied. For these projects the way of steering has been investigated and results that have been achieved. Findings and conclusions have been expressed according to IBAFrame six leading principles.

• Aftercare effort is an important area of attention for all categories • Aftercare effort of category E and D
projects scores 20% above benchmark* The aspect improvement and objective is the
consolidated result of 5 criteria and counts 5 times for the average score result.

IBAFrame study results 2007 – 2009 (3)
Overall main findings for way of steering:Principles of one shared objective and view, fitting approach and commitment and collaboration are more difficult to fulfil. Reasons are that complexity and impact are mostly not assessed, the chosen approach is not in line with the preference of involved people and timelines are not realistic. Best scoring aspects are strongly affected by the phenomena of self-serving bias: people reward the own attitude and competence significantly higher if compared to colleagues.

Category E projects (Result 8-10)
Benchmark of 46 projects
Category A and B projects (Result 1-4)
Commitment and collaboration:Individuals is asked to indicate their own competence to adapt to change and to indicate these competence also for colleagues. For category E projects, on average individuals indicate their colleagues as more competent to adapt to change. For category A and B projects, individuals indicate on average to be much more
competent if compared to colleagues.
