Building the matrix of change

The Matrix Of Change system consists of three matrices and a set of stakeholder evaluations. It detects harmonizing and interfering practices and presents an overview of an interlocking organizational system.

Matrix construction then proceeds in four steps; Critical process, definition of system interaction, transition interaction and definition of survey stakeholder (Figure 4).

Critical process

First list is the existing goal, business practice and ways of doing NOPP/ RPPP profiles. However, it is rare that all-important practices can be identified in advance. A second list will describe the target practice. Identifying the most important process can be quite difficult but certain analyses, such as SWOT analysis result can help. Processes

No	Proprietor	Classification Idea	Framework component of data sharing	Strengths
1	Calkins And Weathrebe 1995	Development of a Taxonomy for research into spatial data sharing	– Characteristics of the organization, – Characteristics of the Data – Characteristics of the Exchange – Constraint and impediment	Framework recognises organizational issue and nature of exchange
2	Kenvay 1995	More detailed structure to measure effectiveness and enhance decision making of data sharing	– project environment – sharing classes – need for shared data – opportunity to share data – willingness to share data – incentive to share data – impediment to shared data – technical capability – resource for sharing	Very comprehensive list of factors that can be rated based on existing exchanges

4	Wiliam J. 1995	Why we can not share data?	Institutional inertia	Frame work recognises institutional issue
5	IOPTC Research Concept 2007	Based on inter-organizational relation adapted from taxonomy spatial data sharing model	– Geo information institutional Issue – metadata standard – Data use policy – Digital processing (e-work) – Network connection – Geo information managerial Issue – Database management System – Online data process – Web-based application – Organization ICT knowledge	Attempts to classify organizational elements based on experience of field work result
