Abstract:

This paper introduces the authors’ original framework for strategic change management as a result of their research. It includes the definition and description of the framework, as well as its formation process based on Peffer’s design science research methodology. The framework supports the planning and execution of strategic change. The framework follows Kotter’s view of a change process, and is enriched by enterprise architecture principles and the social and human aspects of change. The framework was validated in a real case where it was implemented in an innovation management process of a firm.
