Abstract

From 2009 to early 2015 the Department of Construction at Unitec Institute of Technology has grappled with the challenges of changing technology that have impacted on both what and how it teaches. It has done this within a changing organizational environment. The lack of full understanding of the potential of the technology at the outset together with the changes of management personnel and policies have meant that change has been achieved in a messy evolving manner rather than through a planned and managed process. However it did in 2010 document a strategy articulating what it wanted to achieve. This document has helped it to guide itself through the complexity of the forces of change to have made significant developments and position itself to make further progress.
