The success of technologies depends not only on their innovative strength and acceptance, but also on their management. Decision-makers evaluate factors like technical framework conditions and organizational requirements, with the demand for flexibility adding to the complexity. Industry 4.0 addresses this with networking, transparency and decentralized decisions. Digital twins, which can be implemented with open source software, play a key role.

The more important question at this stage is if traditional Change management models handle this topic well or if they must be adjusted. This article identifies challenges and success factors by using a literature analysis and a survey, by means of which an adapted model for successful Change management is generated.

Authentic Knowledge Management (KM) Applying KM to KM

Authentic Knowledge Management (KM) Applying KM to KM

Ingrid Scheele, Bernd Bredehorst
Knowledge Management is for many projects a future target whereby the potential of using KM during the project is unfortunately neglected. This starts with the project teams who know nothing about each other and continues with the way in which knowledge management concepts are designed: “in private”. The article describes connections between process optimisation, enterprise culture and knowledge management as well as the “KM²” procedure in the joint project WISMA, where the acceptance for changes and authentic handling during the project is the focal point right from the beginning.
