  1. Towards a discipline of Enterprise Engineering Dagstuhl seminar 16192 May 2016 Jan L.G. Dietz

  2. Why is Enterprise Engineering needed? because the organisational science and practice and the information systems science and practice efficiency models agility software languages are disconnected

  3. What do you mean by disconnected? Organisation people typically have only functionalknowledgeof enterprises/organisations Information system people (at least the engineers) have typically both functionalknowledgeand constructional knowledgeof information systems But nobody has constructional knowledge of enterprises, whereas every engineer knows that … ... the function of a supporting system is derived from the construction of the supported system

  4. What is Enterprise Engineering? Enterprise Engineering (EE) is the scientific discipline that bridges the organisational sciences and the information systems sciences in a solid way The key to this bridging is the Ciao Paradigm EE is an engineering discipline: it considers enterprises as designedsystems, which can be re-designed EE is currently developed by the CEEN (Ciao Enterprise Engineering Network) 94% of inadequate enterprise performance is the inevitableresult of how enterprises are designed. William Edwards Deming

  5. The generic goals of Enterprise Engineering • Intellectual manageability In order to bring about organisational changes, one needs to have insight and overview. This implies a well devised systematic reduction of complexity • Organisational concinnity For an enterprise to be a coherent and consistent whole, its parts must be arranged in a skillful and harmonious way. This can only be achieved by well devised design • Social devotion Enterprise Engineering takes a human centered view on organisations. Competent people bestowed with the right authority/responsibility are the pearls of every enterprise. From: J.L.G Dietz, J.A.P. Hoogervorst et al.: The Discipline of Enterprise Engineering, in: IJODE Vol. 3, No. 1, 2013

  6. The Ciao Paradigm • Communicationis the primal notion, defined as the sharing of thoughts (between human minds) • Information is the means for communication. It is the dyad of content (thought) and form (expression). In other words: information is embodied thought • Actionis either • production related, both immaterial (deciding, judging) and material (fabricating, transporting), or • coordination related (requesting, promising, stating, etc.) • Organisationemerges from the coordination related understanding of communication, both in the • operationalsense (the cooperating people) and in the • constructional sense (the devising of cooperation structures)
