The six faces model: Technology management in the effective implementation of change
Abstract
Organizational fitness is often achieved by making changes in business operations. These
changes frequently involve the use of a new technology. The effective implementation
of change is aided by examining the benefits and challenges of technology management
when making decisions. Important elements for consideration in technology management
are technology evaluation, integration, planning, implementation, training and
change. A solution is proposed to combine and encompass these elements of technology
management to encourage the positive aspects and avoid the negative aspects
of change implementation. The tool consists of principles to be addressed for each
element.
