Change Implementation
Planning for and
Engaging Resistance


Because at Thought Catalysts we focus our work around aligning business strategy and change management. Currently, there is a great deal of discussion about how IT can become a strategic partner in business. This is an interesting area for managing significant change in organizations.

In all that has been written, there was little discussion of the human side of the change. We got curious about this apparent gap and conducted a study addressing issues around human resistance in technology implementation.

The study highlights best practices and a methodology for successful project management when business process changes are significant.

Survey participants were people who have knowledge and experience in implementing technology projects or can see across a number of projects. They understand that technology projects must be aligned with the business strategy. We interviewed leaders who understand what makes different projects successful, specifically related to human behavior, change management and resistance.

Organizations that participated in the survey include:

  • ARAMARK Healthcare
  • Boston Scientific
  • Capgemini
  • CommonThread Incorporated
  • EMC
  • Julianna Rae
  • Pace Performance Group
  • SON Systems
  • Step Process Management
  • Tiba
