The peaceful transition to democracy and a market economy remains one of the most demanding political, economic and societal challenges facing the world's nations today. By providing a knowledge base of factors leading to success or failure in development and transformation, the BTI project aims to facilitate learning amongst decision makers and help to improve future strategies.
Despite decades of success and failure in applied development and transformation policies, there had been no systematic analysis of the experiences for the management of change. The BTI project analyzes and compares transformation processes and management performance worldwide to make this rich base of knowledge available for use.
