Abstract
Successful IT-enabled innovation is often attributed to benefit realization. However, often the results of the innovations are disappointing.Reason for this is argued to be a divide between development of the technological solution, and the organizational implementation and change thatshould ensure realization of the planned benefits. To handle this dilemma, it isadvised to strengthen the management of the realization project acceptingtechnology development and organizational change as entangled. Informationtechnology is thus best described as a socio-material construct having thetechnical and the social inextricable linked. This paper challenges the belief inan inherent divide by suggesting integration of the technological andorganizational development in the pilot-phase as well as subsequent phasesthrough co-creation and situated re-innovation. With reference to a case on telecare this paper elaborates on co-creation and situated re-innovation andillustrates how this can be organized in practice.
