Speaker

Professor Robert Winter, University of St. Gallen,  Switzerland, robert.winter@unisg.ch.

Organizer: Postdoctoral researcher Mirja Pulkkinen

Format

The seminar is comprised of a day that is oriented more towards the interests of EAM practitioners (day 1) and a day that is devoted to specific EAM research topics (day 2). On both days, lectures will be complemented by positioning exercises, exemplar / case discussions, a surveys, and an experiment.

 Day 1 (Focus on Practitioners)

09:30-10:00 Morning coffee

10:00-11:00: Lecture & discussion “The St. Gallen Approach to EAM”: EAM as service provider for the business; Customer-oriented EAM development ‘outside-in’; EAM products and services determine EAM organization and EAM organization determines EAM tools and models; EA scope; EA orientation ‘wide and flat’; EAM configuration. 

11:20-13:00: Lecture, discussion and positioning exercise “EAM Mutability”: EAM design factors, EAM archetypes (static analysis); Briefings “EAM institutionalization: micro / enterprise level adoption of EA norms and values” and “EAM maturity management: identification of capabilties, determination of maturity levels”

13:00-14:30 Lunch break*

14:30-15:45: Briefing and exemplar collection “Boundary objects in EAM”; Survey on Properties and construction principles of BOs 

16:00-17:30: Lecture and capability maturity assessment exercise “EAM support for Enterprise transformation”: Transformation management; Architectural support of enterprise transformation; “Corporate intelligence”;  Discussion of practical implications 

Day 2 (Focus on Researchers)

08:30-09:00 Morning coffee

09:00-10:45: Collection of Participant's characterization of their own EA(M) research interests/results ;Discussion “How research topics change with growing EAM maturity”: Differentiation instead of design & introduction; Systematic maturity management 

11:15-13:00: Discussion of assignment 1: Which BOs have been constructed in which way?;  Experiment: Apply proposed construction method for exemplary BOs (list and characteristics provided), discuss results

13:00-14:30 Lunch break*

14:30-16:00: Discussion of assignment 2: How was EAM institutionalized and why?; Discussion of assignment 3: How can CI capabilities characterized, measured, and managed?

REGISTRATIONS


This seminar is free-of-charge for INFORTE.fi member organization's staff and their PhD-students. For others the participation fee is 500€/first day. The participation fee includes access to the event and the event materials. Lunch and dinner are not included.

CREDIT POINTS FOR PhD STUDENTS


Doctoral students participating in the seminar can obtain three (3) credit points. This requires participating on both days and completing the assignments given at the seminar.

ASSIGNMENTS

Each PhD student is required to prepare one (1) of three alternative assignments. It is important that at least two, ideally all three of the alternative assignments have been prepared by at least one student in class. Upon requesting assignment details, the student can specify a first and a second preference. The assignment materials are then provided by the speaker on a first-come-first-served basis, trying to balance preferences as much as possible. Requests need to be made until Sunday, 20th of October, 2013 latest. Please, contact Professor Robert Winter ‎[robert.winter@unisg.ch]‎ and specify your assignment preferences.


Prepare the results before the seminar, i.e. by Oct 28th. According to the schedule, discussion about assignment results happens on the second day, and it is expected that participants are ready to present their results then.

Assignment alternative 1: Prepare an approx. five (5) page paper that describes a particular EA boundary object, how that BO was constructed and how that BO is maintained in a particular organization. Provided inputs are literature references for BOs in EAM. 

Assignment alternative 2: Prepare an approx. five (5) page paper that describes how EAM has been institutionalized in a particular organization (i.e. on the micro = enterprise level). ‘How’ means which concrete measures have been taken to institutionalize EA norms and values, and which effects in the organization have been created. Provided inputs are literature references for institutionalization of EAM (on micro / enterprise level).

 Assignment alternative 3: Prepare an approx. five (5) page paper that summarizes how the state-of-the-art of a particular "corporate intelligence" capability. Provided inputs are a choice of CI capabilities, the CI capability framework and further reading references on the CI framework.
