  1. TDT4252Modelling of Information SystemsAdvanced Course Sobah Abbas Petersen Adjunct Associate Professor sap@idi.ntnu.no Lecture 10: Competences for Enterprise Modelling

  2. Lecture Today • Competences for Enterprise Modelling Based on the following article: A12: A. Persson and J. Stirna, Towards Defining a Competence Profile for the Enterprise Modelling Practitioner. P. van Bommel et al. (eds.), PoEm 2010, LNBIP 68, pp. 232-245. Lecture 10: Competences for Enterprise Modelling

  3. Overview • Aim of paper: • Define a set of core competences for the modelling practitioner. • Describe the process of Enterprise Modelling • Introduces the term "Enterprise Modelling Practitioner". • Terminology: • Stakeholders • Problem owner Lecture 10: Competences for Enterprise Modelling

  4. Enterprise Modelling • Enterprise Modelling is a process where an integrated and negotiated model describing aspects of an enterprise is created. • Two main reasons for Enterprise Modelling: • Developing the business • Ensuring the quality of the business Lecture 10: Competences for Enterprise Modelling

  5. Methods • There are several methods for Enterprose Modelling. • Consultative approach: analysts create model; stakeholders are consulted in order to validate the model. • Participatory approach: stakeholders meet in modelling sessions. • Groups led by a facilitator. • Participation is consensus-driven • Models created collaboratively. Lecture 10: Competences for Enterprise Modelling

  6. Participatory approach • Participatory approach requires: • Active communication and lively discussions leading to different views. • Creating a group: people feel they are working towards a common goal and increases the chance of achieving good results. Lecture 10: Competences for Enterprise Modelling

  7. Concept of Competency Domain expert Knowledge Skills Willingness to contribute Individual properties Modelling Practitioner Lecture 10: Competences for Enterprise Modelling

  8. Modelling Practitioner • To create Enterprise Models using a participatory approach, a modelling practitioner is needed. • They can take on several roles: • Project leader • Facilitator • Tool expert • Modelling practioner team, led by the Project Leader.

  10. Overview of Roles • Project Owner • Stakeholders • Domain Expert • Modelling Practitioner • Project leader • Facilitator • Tool expert Methodologists Could there be other roles? Lecture 10: Competences for Enterprise Modelling

Present results to stakeholders Lecture 10: Competences for Enterprise Modelling

  14. Core Competences in Enterprise Modelling At the heart of Enterprise Modelling • Ability to model • Ability to facilitate modelling sessions • Ability to lead projects Related to Project Management Lecture 10: Competences for Enterprise Modelling

  15. Competences related to Modelling • Ability to model • Making use of the chosen language to create models. • Ability to facilitate a modelling session • Communication and socialising, team work, problem solving. Lecture 10: Competences for Enterprise Modelling

  16. Competences related to Managing EM projects • Ability to select an appropriate Enterprise Modelling approach and tailor it to the situation. • Ability to interview involved domain experts • Social skills are essential, e.g. listening skills, body language. • Ability to define a relevant problem that is feasible to model. • Assessing the complexity of the problem. • Ability to define requirements on the results. Lecture 10: Competences for Enterprise Modelling

  17. Competences related to Managing EM projects (contd.) • Ability to establish a modelling Project. • Ability to adjust the presentation of the Project results (model) and issues related to the various stakeholders. • Ability to navigate between the various stakeholders' wishes while upholding the goals of the Project. • Ability to assess the impact of the modelling result and the modelling process in the organisation. Lecture 10: Competences for Enterprise Modelling
