Abstract
The goal of the ORGTECH-project is to improve the cooperation between two engineering offices on the one hand, and a major German steel mill, on the other. An integrated change process has been initiated which combines the introduction of a groupware application with methods of organization development. This change process draws on the framework of Integrated Organization and Technology Development which is presented first. Then we describe its application in the ORGTECH project. The results of the first project phase are presented and discussed.
