"Articulation and Alignment of Knowledge about Organizational Work", Donnerstag 10.11.2016 Beginn 16.15 Uhr, WE5/04.004

Human work in organizations is an inherently collaborative phenomenon. People rely on information provided by others and in turn are required to provide others with the re-sults of their work. In order to collaborate successfully, the involved actors need to deve-lop a shared understanding of their work processes and align their mutual expectations on how to interact with each other. The presentation introduces a methodology to sup-port these articulation and alignment activities via collaborative conceptual modeling practices. It then shows how the results of articulation can be further used in informati-on system (re-)design. Experiences from case studies in different industrial domains illustrate the application of the methodology and its supporting technical artifacts.
