Toward a new model for the governance of organizational transformation projects based on multi-agents systems

The accelerating pace of globalization is having a profound effect on organizations; organizational transformation appears as a necessity and a major challenge for the organizations. Yet, instead of generating a competitive asset, transformation projects are become a risk for companies (accumulated delays, overrun of the budgets, collaborators tensions). This article focuses on the conceptualization of a multi-projects governance system. The projects are supposed to be distributed with as many local and autonomous decision makers as the projects. The proposed model is based on reactive agent architecture. The main idea of this model is to enhance communication and cooperation between different project actors and respond to the constraints and fluctuations occurring in the management of transformation projects especially the strategic alignment. The essential feature that distinguishes our proposition from models previously defined in the literature is an articulation of information technology, artificial intelligence and best practices for the good governance of organizational transformation projects.
