"Design Thinking & Enterprising Modeling"
Together with Kurt Sandkuhl, from Rostock University and Janis Stirna from Stockholm University - Prof. Dr. Hasan Koc, Professor of Business Administration at Berlin International investigated how a Design-Thinking-based method can be used in the EAM Projects.
Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) as a holistic management discipline supports this systematic adoption processes by integration business and IT concerns. The integrated view requires the participation of different stakeholders to EAM projects. To minimize the risks resulting from this multi-perspective aspect, the principles of Design Thinking methods should be applied in the early phases of EAM. 4-Enterprise Modeling (4EM) is an Enterprise Modeling method that exhibits Design Thinking characteristics.
By examining eight EAM projects from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, the paper tackles the question whether the 4EM as a Design Thinking Method contributes to the goals of the EAM projects.
Check out the full paper presentation below and learn more about 4EM as a Design Thinking Method!
