In dynamic and challenging economic era, an organization should be prepared to reform its operation and business approaches. This study was based on the implementation of the transformation program in the Malaysian public universities. This program has been designed and implemented to transform the institution in reaching the new heights towards global recognition and achievement. According to Saliunas (2007), the main intention of transformation programs are to enhance the organization’s achievement by incerasing or developing new capabilities through organizational restructuring, business processes enhancement and changes, new technology adoption and resources optimization.
Due to the uniqueness of the project resources and implementation, and the nature of organization, there are several elements that should be given attention in governing these projects to be successful achieved the organization’s desired goals, such as; (i) leadership competency, (ii) project team engagement, (iii) project management practice, and (iv) information technology adoption.
