Databoat AG: Developing a Framework for Champion Networks in Facilitating Seamless Integration and Digital Transformation for Acquired Firms in IT Migrations

Abstract

One of Databoat’s specializations is change management and user adoption, primarily for IT transformations. However, as they expand into client projects that relate to mergers and acquisitions, the effectiveness of their existing champion network framework in this new context is uncertain. This study addresses whether Databoat's current approach needs adaptation to successfully manage post-merger change initiatives.
