Most enterprise transformations fail—not because of poor execution, but because they are based on the wrong understanding of what an enterprise is. If organisations are treated as machines, transformation will remain mechanical—and ineffective.
This book develops a systemic approach to enterprise transformation, viewing organisations as goal-oriented social systems shaped by structure, relationships, and shared mental models. By integrating enterprise engineering with dialogical and appreciative approaches, it provides a coherent framework to design, guide, and realise transformation in complex environments.
Topics and features:
- Establishes a systemic foundation for enterprise transformation, grounded in systems theory
- Reframes enterprises as dynamic social systems shaped by relationships and meaning
- Combines structural design (enterprise engineering) with dialogical, human-centred change approaches
- Clarifies the difference between system performance and system construction for better decision-making
- Highlights the importance of shared mental models and social dynamics as the true leverage point of change
- Demonstrates the approach through a longitudinal real-world case with measurable impact
This book is essential reading for executives, enterprise architects, transformation leaders and consultants involved in enterprise change initiatives. It also serves as a valuable resource for academics, researchers, and postgraduate students in enterprise engineering, management information systems, organisational design, and other management sciences.
Jan De Winter (DWT Consulting bv, Belgium) bridges theory and practice, integrating enterprise engineering with dialogical organisational development to support complex transformation initiatives across public and private sector organisations.

About the Author
Jan De Winter is an independent consultant specialised in enterprise transformation, organisational development, and Enterprise Engineering. He combines a background in organisational psychology from KU Leuven (Belgium) with more than three decades of experience in HR, digital transformation, organisational redesign, and enterprise-wide change initiatives across both public and private sector organisations.
Throughout his career, he has worked on complex transformation programmes involving governance redesign, enterprise architecture, HR transformation, process optimisation, and large-scale organisational change. His professional approach integrates Enterprise Engineering methodologies such as DEMO and BPMN with dialogical organisational development, Appreciative Inquiry, and systemic thinking. Drawing from both consulting practice and interdisciplinary research, his work focuses on understanding enterprises as dynamic social systems shaped by structure, relationships, governance, and shared mental models. This book synthesises decades of practical experience, conceptual reflection, and real-world transformation work into a coherent systemic framework for enterprise transformation.
