Abstract
The ISO/IEC 33014 is an excellent guide for planning and implementing process improvement initiatives. The standard, however, only deals with improvement initiatives that are based on assessments of an organization’s processes. For the standard to be capable of dealing with a broader set of change initiatives the tactical level in the standard needs to be expanded with a new perspective. In this paper we present a proposal for such an expansion. The central part of this expansion is the introduction of a change-charter that defines the directions, policies and guidelines for these change initiatives. We propose that the charter be built on the nine change-aspects that we have previously aggregated through a comprehensive literature study of prominent change management literature.
