  text: <jats:p>Dynamic market conditions, technological disruption and social change
    require organizations to continuously adapt and evolve. However, studies on organizational
    change show that the majority of transformations undertaken fail because they
    are characterized by a lack of clarity, overload and ineffective measures. This
    paper shows how a clear structure as a critical success factor can make the chaos
    and challenges of a transformation manageable.  The focus here is on a practice-oriented
    framework that divides a transformation into nine essential building blocks with
    activities that are critical to success. The structure of the framework is understood
    as a flexible organizing principle for a transformation without hindering creativity
    and dynamics. Case studies show the adaptability and applicability of the framework
    to different characteristics and dimensions of transformation. The transformation
    framework provides an operative structure and enables transformation managers
    for transparent orchestration and implementation of transformation.</jats:p>
