Abstract

Organizational change projects are becoming frequent tasks for many organizations and require the deployment of proven management concepts to realize the planned transition. While organizational change is embedded in the fields of organizational development, change management, and project management, there are few attempts to synthesize these different disciplines into an integrated description. In addition, there is a growing demand for agility as change projects tend to become more complex and have to be performed within drifting environments. This paper discusses the relationship of organizational development, change management and project management and describes the idea of agile approaches. Coming originally from the field of software development agile methodologies are beginning to gain ground in project management, support change management, and allow for more flexibility. We suggest that agile techniques and a more integrated approach can contribute to the organization’s challenge to cope with change.
