Abstract
For three and a half years we have cooperated with a Dutch general hospital, with about 600 beds, in implementing organizational change in several nursing wards. While helping the hospital in the change process, we have theorized about the change process itself. This summary reviews the project activities. First a short description of the practical affairs of the change process is given; and second, there is a description of the theoretical work.
The author is project leader; the project team consisted of J. T. Allegro, H. W. Kanters and W. Polet. We thank D. E. Davis for his comments on the English version of this article.
