These challenges are, however, heightened considerably within organizations that have not traditionally pursued such initiatives. In addition to the many difficulties associated with developing and implementing radical business innovation, inexperienced organizations are simultaneously faced with the need to rapidly acquire the underlying competencies necessary to successfully execute a transformation. This case thus presents a mid-sized, globally oriented organization that is in the early stages of developing its transformative capacity while it undertakes a transformation of its human resources (HR) function. The reader is placed in a position to evaluate the challenges and learning achieved thus far in the process and to offer recommendations aimed at ensuring a successful transformation. Recommendations can also be made in relation to how organizations can foster the growth and development of their transformation competencies.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jcit.2013040103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,1]],"date-time":"2013-10-01T17:34:21Z","timestamp":1380648861000},"page":"42-56","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Learning Transformation"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Brent","family":"Furneaux","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Business and Economics, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"G\u00fcnther","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Business Transformation Services, SAP, Walldorf, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"jcit.2013040103-0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1509\/jmkg.2005.69.4.61"},{"key":"jcit.2013040103-1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2575.2001.00095.x"},{"issue":"November","key":"jcit.2013040103-2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Finding the right place to start change.","author":"M.Gardini","year":"2011","journal-title":"The McKinsey Quarterly"},{"key":"jcit.2013040103-3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/orsc.1030.0056"},{"issue":"2","key":"jcit.2013040103-4","first-page":"139","article-title":"Transforming the pharmaceutical industry: Human resources as global catalyst.","volume":"25","author":"S.John","year":"2007","journal-title":"Organization Development Journal"},{"issue":"3","key":"jcit.2013040103-5","first-page":"25","article-title":"Achieving successful strategic transformation.","volume":"53","author":"G.Johnson","year":"2012","journal-title":"MIT Sloan Management Review"},{"key":"jcit.2013040103-6","first-page":"1","article-title":"McKinsey global survey results: What successful transformations share.","author":"S.Keller","year":"2010","journal-title":"The McKinsey Quarterly"},{"key":"jcit.2013040103-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jbusres.2011.07.006"},{"issue":"1","key":"jcit.2013040103-8","first-page":"96","article-title":"Leading change.","volume":"85","author":"J.
