ENTERPRISE MODELING - JANIS STIRNA ANNE PERSSON...

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.
