In a fast-paced, continually shifting environment resilience to change is often the single most important factor that distinguishes those who succeed from those who fail.-Tom Peters

The current knowledge economy requires organisation to be learning organisation in order to adapt to current challenges because changes and improvements in technology are constantly driving the need for learning as organisation, need to respond to new technologies in order to remain competitive. Introduction of the technology should be supported by various different factors in order to manage the demand effectively, that the new change brings with it, thus help it to survive and flourish (Dehinbo, 2010). Change is not always easy to implement in an organisation but changes are required to survive and flourish. When changes are made, it is an opportunity for learning and if the changes are comprehensive, emphasis should be placed on learning. Interventions, i.e. the structured activities are the principal learning processes in the "action-stage" of organisational development. A learning organisation aims at aligning interventions with the Organisation's main features which are systems thinking, personal mastery, mental models, shared vision and team learning (Senge, 1999). As a part of change management, in IT sector, both the "operator culture" and "engineering culture" act as a facilitator to adapt the change.

Abstract


In a fast-paced, continually shifting environment resilience to change is often the single most important factor that distinguishes those who succeed from those who fail.-Tom Peters

The current knowledge economy requires organisation to be learning organisation in order to adapt to current challenges because changes and improvements in technology are constantly driving the need for learning as organisation, need to respond to new technologies in order to remain competitive. Introduction of the technology should be supported by various different factors in order to manage the demand effectively, that the new change brings with it, thus help it to survive and flourish (Dehinbo, 2010). Change is not always easy to implement in an organisation but changes are required to survive and flourish. When changes are made, it is an opportunity for learning and if the changes are comprehensive, emphasis should be placed on learning. Interventions, i.e. the structured activities are the principal learning processes in the "action-stage" of organisational development. A learning organisation aims at aligning interventions with the Organisation's main features which are systems thinking, personal mastery, mental models, shared vision and team learning (Senge, 1999). As a part of change management, in IT sector, both the "operator culture" and "engineering culture" act as a facilitator to adapt the change.
