10 Principles of Good Business Process Management
Abstract: Will Business Process Management still be present in five years time? Many organizations have been disappointed with the results BPM projects have delivered. New concepts are already on the horizon, such as business innovation, business transformation, and alike. Will these concepts replace BPM? This would be massive loss, considering the 20 to 30 years of research and practice in the field. Are we starting over again learning the foundations of new concepts even though these concepts also strongly relate to processes? Business process management has established as a matured discipline. It provides well-proven methods that build the core to master contemporary and future challenges in management. However, BPM has to develop, and it is often reduced to originating areas such as process modeling and workflow management systems. We believe that BPM failure is largely founded in the fact that the view on BPM is too limited and that essential principles of good process management are not considered. We therefore set out identifying principles of good BPM. We suggest that following basic principles, BPM is more likely to be successful. Considering these principles, BPM can provide a solid set of capabilities essential to master contemporary and future challenges, including business innovation and transformation as mentioned above. For academia, these principles are essential to further shape BPM as an academic discipline and to prove its value for economy and society.
Bio: Jan vom Brocke is head of the BPM group in Liechtenstein. He is Professor of Information Systems, the Hilti Endowed Chair of Business Process Management, Director of the Institute of Information Systems, Founder and Co-Director of the International Master Program in IT and Business Process Management, Director of the PhD Program in Information and Process Management, and Vice President Research and Innovation at the University of Liechtenstein. Jan has conducted over 300 studies in the area of IT and BPM, published in renowned outlets, including MIS Quarterly (MISQ), the Journal of Management Information Systems (JMIS), the European Journal of Information Systems (EJIS), Information Systems Journal (ISJ), and the Business Process Management Journal (BPMJ). He has authored and edited 29 books, including the International Handbook on Business Process Management, BPM: Driving Innovation in a Digital World and Green BPM: Towards the Sustainable Enterprise. Jan is an invited speaker and trusted advisor on BPM serving many organizations around the world. See Jan`s website for more information: www.janvombrocke.com

Measuring the Organizational Impact of IT Innovations
Abstract: The rate at which new IT solutions appear is unprecedented. Still, while they may be impressive from a technological perspective, it is often less clear what their bottom-line contribution is to the improvement of organizational performance. In this research keynote, I will explain an entirely new method to approach this issue and actually measure the impact. This method embraces simulation as a technique to neutralize the effects of developments that take place in parallel to the introduction of a new IT solution within a certain organizational context. I will illustrate how this method works through a study on workflow management systems, which was carried out for a period of over a decade. The illustration also shows the importance of additional, follow-up analyses that are more qualitative in nature. The talk should be of interest to any researcher who is concerned with demonstrating the value of organization-wide IT innovations.
Bio: Hajo Reijers is a full-time professor in Business Informatics at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He also holds a part-time, full professorship in Business Process Technologies at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven and teaches at the TIAS Business School in the Operational Excellence program. He is interested in both the organizational and technological sides of BPM topics, such as process modeling, workflow technology, process mining, and BPR. On these topics, he published over 150 scientific papers, chapters in edited books, and articles in professional journals. More information can be found on www.reijers.com.

About EMISA

Objectives

The strategic importance of enterprise modeling has been recognized by an increasing number of companies and public agencies. Enterprise modeling delivers the ‘blueprints’ for co-designing and aligning business and enterprise information systems such that they complement each other in an optimal way. As example consider the support of business processes by process-aware information systems. Achieving such interplay requires a multi-perspective approach taking organizational, economic, and technical aspects into account. In a world of cloud, social and big data, additional challenges for enterprise modeling and the design of information systems architectures are introduced, e.g., in respect to the design of data-driven processes or processes enabling cross-enterprise collaboration.

To deal with these challenges, a close cooperation of researchers from different disciplines such as information systems, business informatics, and computer science will be required.

Subject and Topics

EMISA 2016 is the seventh international workshop in a series that provides a key forum for researchers and practitioners in the fields of enterprise modeling and the design of information system (IS) architectures. The workshop series emphasizes a holistic view on these fields, fostering integrated approaches that address and relate business processes, business people and information technology. EMISA 2016 will provide an international forum to explore new avenues in enterprise modeling and the design of IS architectures by combining the contributions of different schools of Information Systems, Business Informatics, and Computer Science.

The EMISA 2016 workshop is open for a broad range of subjects and welcomes scientific submissions as well as experience papers on enterprise modeling and information systems architectures.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Enterprise modeling: languages, methods, tools
  • Patterns for enterprise modeling and information systems architectures
  • Model life cycle management and model evolution
  • Model configuration and management of model variants
  • Model quality: metrics, case studies, experiments
  • Process modeling and process-aware information systems
  • Collaborative enterprise modeling
  • Model-driven architectures and model-driven IS development
  • Component- and service-oriented software architectures
  • Service engineering and evolution
  • Service composition, orchestration and choreography
  • Complex event processing and event-driven architectures
  • Human aspects in enterprise modeling
  • Modeling social information and innovation networks
  • Information systems in the cloud
  • Mobile enterprise services
  • Enterprise 2.0, Web 2.0 and beyond

Organization

The workshop is organized by the GI Special Interest Group on Design Methods for Information Systems (GI-SIG EMISA www.emisa.org), which provides a forum for researchers from various disciplines who develop and apply methods to support the analysis and design of information systems.

Location

EMISA 2016 will take place at WU Vienna at the Galerie in the LC building (LC 0.004). You will find the Galerie on the ground floor of the LC building on the right side. The new and modern WU campus is directly located next to Prater park in the heart of Vienna. Wikipedia on the WU Campus. The campus can be easily reached within 30 minutes from the airport using train or bus connections.

Submission of Research Talk Proposals

EMISA 2016 invites proposals for scientific talks of international excellence. Eligible are proposal submissions that are based on published or accepted papers from international conferences or journals. Proposals can be submitted according to the following format:

  • Submit the abstract of your talk as a short paper of 4 pages plus the PDF of the original paper including information where it was accepted or published.
  • Proposals will be prioritized by the program committee based on their topical fit to the workshop and the reputation of the publication outlet of the corresponding paper. Based on this assessment, a selection will be made.
  • Authors of selected proposals are then required:
    • to register for the EMISA workshop,
    • to submit a short paper with the title “[original title] (extended abstract)” that summarizes the original paper, and
