1173 - HITOP Development
|
|
Objectives |
- HITOP is a systematic method
that is an up-front investment in the management of technical
change. It allows companies to design their organization and
human resources, taking into account the needs of the technology
(the term HITOP is an acronym which stands for High Integration
of Technology, Organization and People). HITOP has been used
successfully by both large and small companies to shorten the
time that is necessary for making and balancing changes within
the complex and inter-related domains of technology, organization
and people. HITOP has also helped companies master the cascading
effects of change by involving people within different functions
in the change process.
-
- The project aims to improve
the existing version of HITOP by making the method more user-friendly
for non-experts working in small-to-medium sized enterprises
(SMEs). Specific objectives are to:
- make the method more user
friendly and suitable for non-experts so that it can be easily
used by SMEs;
- develop analysis and design
tools to support HITOP;
- strengthen various aspects
of the HITOP method;
- extend the applicability of
HITOP.
