ABSTRACT
This introduction presents on overview of key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book features the results of a Transformation Management Survey conducted together with the University of St. Gallen showcasing the current state of development of transformation management in practice. It includes several articles which explain how expectations with regard to the role of IT management in transformation processes are changing and why the future CIO has to take transformation and innovation aspects into consideration. The book learns what about the potentials of the Business Transformation Management Methodology (BTM) and how this holistic business transformation management approach corresponds with other typical methods such as Enterprise Architecture Management, The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF), or Accelerated SAP (ASAP). Learning is based on sharing ones experience and expert knowledge. Using dozens of in-depth case studies, network of experts, which now consists of more than a hundred researchers, company representatives, and consultants, has developed a holistic BTM.
