The study is based on interviews with 28 informants from eight companies focusing on 13 different change cases. Several of these companies already use agile concepts in their approaches to change management. The empirical data are analysed using theoretical perspectives from both current change management literature and literature concerned with both agile concepts and uncertainty. The result of this analysis is a detailed framework specifying how companies can use agile concepts to manage change when faced with uncertainty.

Media at NTNU Spring 2016, presents three organisations supporting social innovation
through the help of ICT. These organisations use ICT in differing ways to reach their goals,
but the importance of awareness and social interactions are the main findings from the
section. The author has presented the innovation process in section 3, and related the process
to strengths and weaknesses of mainstream social media. The main strengths of such
platforms are size, informal communication, easy to form connections and promotion of
projects. The main weaknesses are security, difficulty in reaching the suited users and
tensions when crossing hierarchies. The platforms have strengths covering most of the phases,
and the weaknesses are more substantial in the ideation phase. Lastly, a concept for solving
these issues are presented in NoFacil, a specialised tool for supporting social innovation
through the means of technology and social media. The focus of the platform is the ideation
phase, which is supported by mapping the requirements of the platform to the characteristics
of ideation platforms as presented by Vilarinho et al. (2016).

For this study, we have used the course literature as well as other articles and books available on the subject.
Due to the extent of the research done on lead users, we do not cover all the different aspects. In 2011 Ivy Eisenberg wrote an article about the history of lead user research, and to not repeat her, our main focus in the theoretical research section are concepts she does not cover in extent. The assignment is divided into four parts. In the first part, we look at the treatment and evolution of the term lead user. We present the introduction of the concept as well as how it has been developed in literature and in practice. In the second part, we present theoretical research and the most important findings of these. In the third part, we present empirical testing and research of lead users and how this empirical research support or does not support the theory. In the final part, we discuss our findings and present our suggestion on a further research topic.

change management based on agile concepts. This thesis is primarily written for readers with
knowledge of change management, agile concepts, or both. However, it will also have value for
anyone with an interest in the subject of agile change management.
