Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Education and Implementation in Mis: May 1982 The process of developing large-scale information systems is complex and too often marked by failure. Over the past decade, several techniques have emerged to improve it: 1) the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC): a methodology for project management that focusses on planning, rather than coding. 2) software productivity tools, including structured methods, walk-throughs and automated design and documentation aids. 3) implementation strategies that focus on managing the organizational change represented by new technologies and systems. This last area is the theme of this paper. There is a growing body of conceptual and empirical (descriptive and prescriptive) research that provides the basis for implementation strategies that are as well-formalized as the SDLC (Keen 1979). The Implementation Cycle (IC) is, in effect, the behavioral equivalent of the SDLC. (See Kolb and Frohman, 1970, and Lewin and Schein, 1969, for models of the IC.) The IC emphasizes consulting skills and facilitation. It defines the role of the implementor as that of change agent. This paper focusses on education as a vehicle for change. It describes one educational intervention explicitly intended to "unfreeze" personnel in a major bank; unfreeze them in order to prepare them for a large-scale systems implementation in which their commitment and participation was crucial to success. The intervention grew out of a detailed study of other efforts in the same organization to implement a common system (Keen, Bronsema and Zuboff, 1982).
