Putting numbers behind Change Management in IT projects

Does top management ownership actually matter? Is trust a key component in successful implementation? What constitutes efficient communication?

7 June 2018 we hosted an inspirational afternoon session together with Alexander Budzier, our fellow from University of Oxford. Here, we dived into the results of our extensive joint research project on change management in IT projects.

What works and what does not when it comes to change management in IT projects

Implement Consulting Group and University of Oxford are collaborating on an interesting research project set out to put numbers behind what constitutes high quality and efficient change management in IT projects.

We have collected and analysed data from more than 100 IT projects - and we are still collecting.  

We believe that there is great potential for optimisation by focusing on the right things. In the research data, we see some very interesting patterns emerging in relation to some of the classic beliefs such as executive sponsorship, communication, trust and involvement.
