manage change
Change takes many forms. The implementation of a new system, reengineering of end-to-end business processes, departmental reorganization and the creation of a new business unit all require scarce resources to be allocated and managed to the satisfaction of corporate objectives.

Whether the end-product is a new system, reengineered business process or new business unit, the product must be defined, engineered, specified, built and implemented. Whether the scope is one system or many, a department or a major chunk of the enterprise, the basic approach is the same.
Whenever an organization, product or system must be created or requires significant change, two processes come into play. One deals with the engineering and creation of the end product. The other manages the work. regardless of scale, these processes are at work. Whether they are well-defined, consistently applied or not. By defining these processes simply and showing how they inter-operate, the objective enterprise simplifies change, on a large or on a small-scale.
The objective enterprise framework addresses work and product through complementary processes that bring into play the best disciplines and practices that industry has to offer.
