Item type:Publication, Two Speeds of EAM - A Dynamic Capabilities Perspective(Springer, 2012-10-23); ; ; ; Ekstedt, MathiasWe discuss how enterprise architecture management (EAM) supports different types of enterprise transformation (ET), namely planned, proactive transformation on the one hand and emergent, reactive transformation on the other hand. We first conceptualize EAM as a dynamic capability to access the rich literature of the dynamic capabilities framework. Based on these theoretical foundations and observations from two case studies, we find that EAM can be configured both as a planned, structured capability to support proactive ET, as well as an improvisational, simple capability to support reactive ET under time pressure. We argue that an enterprise can simultaneously deploy both sets of EAM capabilities by identifying the core elements of EAM that are required for both capabilities as well as certain capability-specific extensions. We finally discuss governance and feedback mechanisms that help to balance the goals of flexibility and agility associated with dynamic and improvisational capabilities, respectively.Type:conference paperVolume:LNBIP 131Scopus© Citations 23 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Management of Large-Scale Transformation Programs: State of the Practice and Future PotentialIn addition to continuous, evolutionary optimizations, most enterprises also undergo revolutionary transformations from time to time. Knowledge about current corporate practice for coherent IT and business transformation is therefore very valuable. In this paper we present the results of an empirical study on the management of large-scale transformation programs that focuses on IT as much as business aspects. Companies that rate themselves as mature with regards to transformation management, assess certain transformation management components different than less mature companies. Cost reduction, revenue improvement, and agility improvement are the most relevant goals of transformation programs all these are business goals and not IT goals. Current state of the art transformation management can be classified into three approaches: Value-driven, ungoverned and change-driven. We found that no single management approach covers all these areas appropriately yet.Type:conference paperVolume:LNBIP 131Scopus© Citations 9 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Process Performance Management - Identifying Stereotype Problem Situations as a Basis for Effective and Efficient Design Research(Springer, 2010-06-04); ; ; ; Zhao, J. LeonJust recently many organisations get involved with process performance management (PPM). It appears, however, that PPM initiatives confront organisations with multi-faceted and complex challenges that call for a detailed problem analysis before any solution is eveloped. In this paper we introduce two patterns for identifying stereotype problem situations in design research (DR) and apply one to the field of PPM. The application gives detailed insights into typical PPM problem situations and illustrates the usefulness of our approach.Type:conference paperVolume:LNCS 6105Scopus© Citations 4
