This book offers practical advice on managing enterprise modeling (EM) projects and facilitating participatory EM sessions. Modeling activities often involve groups of people, and models are created in a participatory way. Ensuring that this is done efficiently requires dedicated individuals who know how to organize modeling projects and sessions, how to manage discussions during these sessions, and what aspects influence the success and efficiency of modeling in practice.The book also includes a summary of the theoretical background to EM, although participatory modeling can also be used in conjunction with other methods that are not made for EM, such as those made for goal-oriented requirements engineering and information systems analysis.The first four chapters present an overview of enterprise modeling from various viewpoints (including methods, processes and organizational challenges), providing a background for those that need to refresh their basic knowledge. The next six chapters form the core of the book and detail the roles and competences needed in an EM project, typical stakeholder behaviors and how to handle them, tools and methods for managing participatory modeling and facilitation, and how to train modeling experts for these social aspects of modeling. Lastly, a concluding chapter presents a summary and an outlook on current research in participatory EM.This book is intended for anybody who wants to learn more about how to facilitate participatory modeling in practice and how to set up and carry out EM projects. It does not require any in-depth knowledge about specific EM methods and tools, and can be used by students and lecturers for courses on participatory modeling, and by practitioners wanting to extend their knowledge of social and organizational topics to become an experienced facilitator and EM project manager.

Putting capability management into practice requires both a solid theoretical foundation and realistic approaches. This book introduces a development methodology that integrates business and information system development and run-time adjustment based on the concept of capability by presenting the main findings of the CaaS project – the Capability-Driven Development (CDD) methodology, the architecture and components of the CDD environment, examples of real-world applications of CDD, and aspects of CDD usage for creating business value and new opportunities.Capability thinking characterizes an organizational mindset, putting capabilities at the center of the business model and information systems development. It is expected to help organizations and in particular digital enterprises to increase flexibility and agility in adapting to changes in their economic and regulatory environments. Capability management denotes the principles of how capability thinking should be implemented in an organization and the organizational means.This book is intended for anyone who wants to explore the opportunities for developing and managing context-dependent business capabilities and the supporting business services. It does not require a detailed understanding of specific development methods and tools, although some background knowledge and experience in information system development is advisable. The individual chapters have been written by leading researchers in the field of information systems development, enterprise modeling and capability management, as well as practitioners and industrial experts from these fields.

Enterprise modeling (EM) has gained substantial popularity both in the academic community and among practitioners. A variety of EM methods, approaches, and tools are developed and offered on the market. In practice they are used for various p- poses such as business strategy development, process restructuring, as well as business and IT architecture alignment and governance. PoEM 2008, the First IFIP WG 8. 1 Working Conference on The Practice of Ent- prise Modeling, took place in Stockholm, Sweden. It is the first conference aiming to establish a dedicated forum where the use of EM in practice is addressed by bringing together researchers, users, and practitioners. The goals of PoEM 2008 were to - velop a better understanding of the practice of EM, to contribute to improved EM practice, as well as to share knowledge and experiences. The theme of PoEM 2008 was EM in different application contexts, e. g. , software development, including agile development, as well as business development, gove- ance, and change.

PoEM 2009 – the second IFIP WG 8.1 Working Conference on The Practice of Enterprise Modeling took place in November in Stockholm, Sweden. The conference series is a dedicated forum where the use of EM in practice is addressed by bringing together researchers, users, and practitioners in order to develop a better understanding of the practice of EM, to contribute to improved EM practice as well as to share knowledge and experiences. PoEM 2009 attracted 41 submissions from many different parts of the world, out of which the Program Committee selected 17 high-quality papers. Among the authors of these papers we find both researchers and practitioners. The resulting program reflects the fact that the topic of EM encompasses human, organizational issues, as well as more technical aspects related to the development of information systems. The program was organized in six thematic sessions: ? Experiences in EM ? The process of modeling ? EM in information systems development ? Model quality and reuse ? EM for Services modeling ? New ventures in EM The program also featured two keynotes by experienced EM practitioners. Håvard D.

Bei der Unternehmensmodellierung wird das Ziel verfolgt, die wichtigsten Komponenten von Organisationen sowie deren Relationen zueinander in geeigneten Modellen abzubilden. Die Unternehmensmodellierung findet in der Praxis Verwendung bei einer Vielzahl strategischer und operativer Aufgaben in Unternehmen, u.a. bei der Aufnahme und Visualisierung der aktuellen Abläufe, Strukturen und Produkte sowie deren Zusammenhänge, der Erarbeitung und Konkretisierung einer Unternehmensstrategie und insbesondere der IT – Strategie, der Ermittlung des Veränderungsbedarfs im Fall operativer Probleme sowie der Vorbereitung der Einführung von Informationssystemen mit Fokus auf Anforderungsanalyse und Sollkonzept. Die Autoren erläutern die Grundlagen der Unternehmensmodellierung anhand einer konkreten Methode („Kochbuch“). Insbesondere die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven auf ein Unternehmen und ihre Bedeutung (d.h. Prozesse, Organisation, Produkte, IT –Architektur, Strategie u.a.), Analysetechniken und der Umgang mit den Beteiligten in dem Unternehmen, grundlegende Begriffe und Einsatzzwecke sowie Qualität und Möglichkeiten zur Analyse von Unternehmensmodellen werden dargestellt.

Enterprise modeling (EM) methods and techniques are indispensable for understanding the present situation of an enterprise and for preparing for its future – particularly in times of continuous organizational change, an increasing pace of innovation, new market challenges or technology advances.The authors combine a detailed description of the 4EM methodology with their concrete experience gathered in projects. Their book addresses the modeling procedure, modeling language and modeling practices in a uniquely integrated approach. It provides practical advice on common challenges faced by enterprises and offers a flexible EM method suitable for tackling those challenges. Much of the work presented stems from actual research projects and has been validated with scientific methods. The 4EM methodology has proven its practical value in a large number of successful development and/or change management projects in industry and the public sector.The book was written for anyone who wants to learn more about EM, with a specific focus on how to do it in practice and/or how to teach it. Its main target audience thus includes instructors in the field of EM or business information systems, students in Information Systems or Business Administration, and practitioners working in enterprise or change management. The authors describe a clear reading path for each of these audiences and complement the work with a set of slides and further teaching material available under www.4em-method.com.
