Module content

Enterprise Engineering is a developing discipline that aims to comprehend enterprise complexity and thereby master it (Hoogervorst, 2009).
Two important concepts support enterprise engineering: enterprise ontology and enterprise architecture. While enterprise ontology describes the essence of an enterprise, enterprise architecture provides normative guidance for design (Hoogervorst, 2009).
The course provides different approaches to describe/represent the enterprise (its essence and implemented versions) and guide its evolution.
The module covers:
• Background on Systems thinking, Systems Design and Systems Engineering
• Different perspectives on alignment: creating coherency and consistency between different systems
• Prominent approaches (and related mechanisms) to govern coherent and consistent enterprise design (e.g. Zachman, The Open Group, EA as Strategy, Hoogervorst/Dietz).
• Enterprise Modelling (notation standards, languages using different tools).
• Case studies.
• Change Management
