Overview

Background & policy context:

Managing system change in aviation.

Objectives:

Deliver a structure to manage the acquisition and retention of skills and knowledge, through training on organisational processes for managing organisational change in the 'whole air transport system'. Different stakeholders in a common operational system (airlines, airports, maintenance companies, etc) will come together to change the shared operational system to deliver a better service. An Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and software designer will offer technology solutions which support a more effective integrated operational.

This requires the participating companies to develop and maintain new skills and knowledge in change management. The MASCA project will develop the 'concepts and techniques' which can develop, manage, and support the effective deployment of these skills and knowledge in the management of change.

Methodology:

The programme takes an action research approach with a primary focus on the transfer of change management capability into the organisations that are responsible for and involved in change. It is organised in work packages to deliver two complementary objectives:

  • The development of a system to deploy an integrated change management capability (Change Management System or CMS);
  • The deployment and evaluation of the CMS in selected change management initiatives, both simulated and actual.

The MASCA consortium covers the 'whole air transport system'.
