Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Enterprise Modeling (EM) has two main purposes: (1) Developing the business, which entails developing business vision, strategies, redesigning the way the business operates, developing the supporting information systems, etc., and (2) ensuring the quality of the business where the focus is on sharing the knowledge about the business, its vision and the way it operates, and ensuring the acceptance of business decisions through committing the stakeholders to the decisions made. In addition, EM has also shown to be useful as a general tool for articulating, discussing, and solving organizational problems. Based on a number of case studies, interviews and observations this chapter defines what is required from EM when adopted for these purposes and intentions respectively. More precisely, it addresses the following types of requirements; documents and models required as input, models that should be developed, requirements on the modeling language, requirements on the modeling process, tool requirements and model quality requirements. The defined requirements are then discussed taking a specific EM method, Enterprise Knowledge Development (EKD) as example.

Capability Management in Digital Enterprises
- 2018
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Modern enterprises have to respond to the challenge of changing competitive situations by being able to adapt their business models and the supporting IT systems. Service-orientation and cloud computing offer established approaches for achieving flexibility in the use of computing resources and sourcing strategies. This requires promoting systematic development and management of capabilities to key activities. To ease the adaptation of business services to changed business needs a complementary abstraction layer, namely, “Capability as a Service” (CaaS) should be considered. The primary purpose of this layer is to support the capture and representation of the factors that are decisive for flexibility in business services. The main contributions of this paper are (1) motivating the additional capability-focused abstraction layer by an industrial application case, (2) the concept of CaaS including methodical aspects and technology for delivery, and (3) an initial model of capabilities for the industrial application case from utilities sector.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Organizations adopt new tools and technologies even more during the Covid19 pandemic. Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) as a holistic management discipline supports systematic adoption processes by integration business and IT concerns. This integrated view requires the participation of different stakeholders to EAM projects. To minimize the risks resulting from this multi-perspective aspect, the principles of Design Thinking methods should be applied in the early phases of EAM. For Enterprise Modeling (4EM) is an Enterprise Modeling method that exhibits Design Thinking characteristics. By examining eight EAM projects from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, this paper tackles the question whether the 4EM as a Design Thinking Method contributes to the goals of the EAM projects.

- Capability thinking characterizes an organizational mindset. It puts capabilities in focus of the business model and information systems development. Capability thinking is expected to help organizations and in particular digital enterprises increase flexibility and agility in adapting to changes in their economic and regulatory environments. Capability management denotes the principles and organizational means of how capability thinking should be implemented in an organization. This book is devoted to capability management in digital enterprises, and the capability-driven development (CDD) methodology in particular. This chapter introduces the basic principles of capability thinking, such as the business needs for context-dependent and adaptable business solutions, key aspects of capability thinking, capability management life cycle, and the principle of method component used to structure the CDD methodology. The chapter is rounded up with a presentation of the rest of chapters in this book.

Modeling Products and Services with Enterprise Models
- 2020

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Products and services are essential to an enterprise’s operations and hence they need to be designed, developed, and delivered in congruence with the enterprise’s business strategy and design. This paper investigates how to identify relevant aspects of products and services to be added to enterprise models by extending existing Enterprise Modeling (EM) languages for product/service modeling. The proposal is to decide on the relevance for EM based on “touch points”. The proposal is applied to extending the 4EM method with a Product/Service Model and is based on literature analysis in the area of product and service modeling and on an industrial case study.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The introduction of capability management into an enterprise and establishment of a supporting organization structure, like in many other management approaches, affect different parts of the enterprise and require careful preparation. In general, the first recommended step is to evaluate suitability of capability thinking and the capability management approach. This chapter describes criteria that suggest favorable and unfavorable organizational situations for introducing capability management. Furthermore, pitfalls, limitations, and when and how not to use capability management are discussed. If the decision in favor of a capability management introduction was made, the next choice is between two principal ways of applying capability management, which are also described in this chapter: (1) Project-oriented use of Capability-Driven Development (CDD) assumes that capability management is used only for clearly identifiable parts of an organization, e.g., for certain business services. (2) Establishment of capability management in the regular organization structure prepares the whole enterprise or at least certain units for the long-term use of capability management. Here, the approaches “all-do-some” (ADS) and “some-do-all” (SDA) are presented.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Industry 4.0 is a concept that has attracted much research and development over the last decade. At its core is the need to connect physical devices with their digital representations which essentially means establishing a digital twin. Currently, the technological development of digital twins has gathered much attention while the organizational and business aspects are less investigated. In response, the suitability of enterprise modeling and capability management for the purpose of developing and management of business-driven digital twins has been analyzed. A number of requirements from literature are summarized and two industrial cases have been analyzed for the purpose of investigating how the digital twin initiatives emerge and what forces drive the start of their implementation projects. The findings are discussed with respect to how Enterprise Modeling and the Capability-Driven Development method are able to support the business motivation, design and runtime management of digital twins.

Building knowledge repositories with enterprise modelling and patterns - From theory to practice
- 2006
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the Fourteenth European Conference on Information Systems, ECIS. - : Association for Information Systems. ; , s. 937-948
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- An approach to building knowledge repositories, Enterprise Knowledge Patterns (EKP), has been developed and applied throughout a number of research projects, most recently in the ELEKTRA, HyperKnowledge1 and EKLär projects. The EKP approach combines Enterprise Modelling with organisational patterns. Systematic evaluations of applying the approach have been carried out in two of the projects, while the third project is currently running. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the evaluation results and to share practical experiences from building knowledge repositories with Enterprise Modelling and organisational patterns. We discuss issues concerning the knowledge content of pattern based knowledge repositories, the language used to express knowledge in organisational patterns and technology support for storing and retrieving knowledge components. .

Enterprise Modelling : Establishing the Fundament for Capability Management
- 2018

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Enterprise Modelling (EM) is an activity where an integrated model describing different aspects of an enterprise is created. An enterprise model consists of a number of related “sub-models” or perspectives, each describing the enterprise from a particular view, for example, processes, business rules, goals, actors, and concepts/information/data. The purpose of using EM in the context of capability management is to capture and document the existing organizational design. The overall vision of capability management approaches, such as Capability-Driven Development (CDD), is to use (and update if necessary) the enterprise models that the organization already has for capability design. However, if an organization does not have existing models or their use is deemed impractical (e.g., they are severely out of date or the quality of models is below acceptable), new models need to be created. The chapter gives an introduction to the topic of Enterprise Modelling, including perspectives captured in enterprise models, a typical modelling process, and existing modelling methods.
