In this paper, we propose an approach of security risk-driven contextual model for software systems development. The is model-driven using enterprise business architecture as the basis models definition, associating risk concerns. Enterprise Architecture (EA) enables description organisation’s structure, its and underlying Information System. By a Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) such (MDA), dene...

As project managers (PMs) play an important role in project success, assigning PMs with appropriate skills and personalities to projects is a crucial task. Nevertheless, empirical research on skill requirements for information technology (IT) PMs is limited and little information systems literature focuses on the role of internally recruited IT PMs. This paper presents a case study of a trouble...

I To cope with issues related to optimization, rationalization, risk management, economic value of technology and information assets, the implementation of appropriate IT governance seems an important need in public and private organizations. It’s one of these concepts that suddenly emerged and became an important issue in the information technology area. Many organizations started with the imp...

Business process management is often considered as a top-downmanagement activity. This view is inconsistent with the observation that information infrastructures are at drift, outside top-downmanagement control. To reconcile both views, a meta-framework is presented that frames the interplay of the design and emergence of business processes. Business processes are identified as a particular for...

Business Process Redesign (BPR) projects are considered to be high risk due to their high management complexity, enterprisewide impact, and steep project cost. This paper describes a technique that should reduce that risk by developing a systematic process redesign method that we call Dynamic Process Modeling (DPM). It integrates customer-oriented process modeling with computerized visual proce...

For years, improving processes has been a prominent business priority for Chief Information Officers. As expressed by the popular saying, “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it,” process measures are an important instrument for managing processes and corresponding change projects. Companies have been using a value-based management approach since the 1990s in a constant endeavor to increa...

Purpose – Even today still many business process change (BPC) initiatives fail and cause high overruns for organizations undergoing BPC initiatives. It is therefore important that BPC practitioners and researchers understand the risks inherent in BPC projects, and that they adapt their risk management processes to account for and mitigate these risks. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to inves...

Management and design team meetings provide a central forum for requesting and exchanging information necessary to ensure the successful and timely completion of the construction project. Whilst such meetings are common to the vast majority of construction projects, little is known about the professional involvement and interaction during the meetings. By observing and quantifying interactions ...

Organisations are constantly seeking efficiency gains for their business processes in terms of time and cost. Management accounting enables detailed cost reporting of business operations for decision making purposes, although significant effort is required to gather accurate operational data. Process mining, on the other hand, may provide valuable insight into processes through analysis of even...
