Enterprise Modelling and Knowledge Transfer in Distributed Teams – Lessons Learned

• On application area for enterprise modelling is for improving business practice and management. In such improvement situations an important dimension is optimized information flow in organisations. In order to systematically capture and analyse information demand in enterprises, a method for information demand analysis has been developed. The subject of this paper is the use of this method in distributed teams of modellers. This requires transfer of method knowledge to the modellers, coordination of its application, systematic evaluation of lessons learned, and collection of change proposals for the method. This paper reports on the process of method knowledge transfer and usage including lessons learned and implications on the method. The contributions are (1) lessons learned from the method knowledge process and performing the actual modelling in distributed teams, (2) implications for the method regarding alignment between different models-on-plastic (or paper) and electronic models, and (3) implications for the specific method notation.
