Abstract: The article aims to examine the empirical change implementation process from the resource-based point of view and from the dynamic-based point of view, exploiting the organisational network analysis as the main method. The key question of the article is how competencies of change agents and relations among employees involved in change can affect the result of change implementation. The conducted empirical research is to depict correlations between effectiveness of change implementation and two aspects: (a) quality of change agents’ groups responsible for change process and (b) relations of good atmosphere in departments in which change implementation took place. Firstly, the organisational network analysis (ONA) is briefly introduced together with the main definitions and indexes used further in the article. In second part, the presumptions of empirical research conducted in one of service and production companies are presented. Finally, in the frame of results and conclusions the research unveils how proper exploitation of social capital in change agent groups and proper structure of relations can help with successful change introduction.
