Abstract

In this piece, we develop a holistic model of transformation. Model development is grounded in current transformation theory. We embarked on this daunting task because we believe that holism offers an excellent paradigm for managing change that can be of benefit to both academics and practitioners. We initially test our theoretical model by examining how well it maps onto an existing organization. The organization in question is heavily involved in enterprise transformation. It is multi-billion dollar organization that is considered to be the top performer in its industry. Our general research question is: how do organizations successfully management transformation?
