✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has, since 1999, been undergoing a restructuring and a transformation from a hierarchical bureaucratic organization to a flatter, more flexible, information based network organization. A Business Re‐engineering Team has been established, which is overseeing three organization‐wide information technology based projects. One of these is a Portal, an electronic gateway to all the information within the UNDP, which had its initial ‘roll‐out’ in June 2002. This paper examines the facilitating and obstructing factors to the success of this project. By extension, I illuminate the facilitating and obstructing factors to the ongoing transformation to a network organization of the UNDP, and indeed the United Nations as a whole.
