International audience; Information Systems Urbanism is a method providing new solutions to manage the complexity of Information System (I.S.) transformations. This paper expands the urbanism approach by integrating an organisational analysis. Moreover a scientific approach is provided to support the complex decisions involving Information Systems change. For this purpose, dependencies among information processes are formalised. Dependency is based on three complementary dimensions: actors, material resources, information. These dependencies are used to generate process clusters. The mathematical approach used to create several cluster maps is explained, as well as the use of these maps for organisational diagnoses. The goal is to provide support to decision-makers for better change management. Finally, a case study in a manufacturing plant in micro-electronics shows the feasibility of the approach.
