This article describes a logistics‐based framework for organizational change of service organizations. This framework is based on the key concepts of modern logistics: systems thinking for a holistic approach to business; process orientation for structure of the organization; and process management for continuous change and improvement. The development of logistics as a research and practitioner discipline means that logistics can now contribute outside the traditional field of logistics—to change service organizations. This article is based on a case study, in which the framework was developed. Thus, the article is based on action research as main research method. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
