Week 15

 End of Enterprise Lab lecture series: finalization Cordys project and seminar

In this week you will both finish your Cordys project (by a presentation/demonstration) of your results, and you will submit the validation report, related to the BPMS-interviews that you executed for the seminar.

Herewith the context of the report to be written (see the blue marked area):

The instructions for the final report are as follows:

1) Following the figure above (the blue area), teams (duo IDs) 1, 3 and 4 will write a separate report. Teams 2, 8, 10 and 15 will write a separate report. Teams 6, 13 and 14 will write a seperate report. Teams 12, 18 and 19 will write a separate report. Teams 5, 7 and 9 will write a separate report. Teams 11, 16 and 17 will write a separate report.

2) Each report consists of 3 (or 4) contributions of teams according to the following format:

3) The ‘Introduction’ (individual team contribution) should at least mention the BPM implementation domain investigated, the organizations interviewed, and an outline of the interview approach.

4) The ‘Validation’ (individual team contribution) should further mention the interview approach, including respondents interviewed, their jobs/functions.

5) The ‘Results’ section (individual team contribution) should mention the results (plots, tables, graphs, etc.) from the interviews and the used analysis techniques (e.g. codification, type of statistical analysis). Full interview details need to be described in an appendix (see 8). Also already first conclusions should be drawn here.

6) ‘Conclusion’ (overall contributions of 3-4 teams) should mention overall approach, results per focus domain of BPM, and of course general and scientific correct conclusions. Try to identify priorities in CSFs, missing CSF (starting from the initial list), best research method, conclusions on the meta-questions posed (= the list of questions every team has posed), and future research areas or ideas.

7) To your convenience, and for the readability of the report, add (after the reports ‘Summary’) a separate Introduction for the overall report.

8) Include 3 appendices: a) (scientific) literature, b) respondent and company details, c) worked out interviews, filled questionnaires, etc.

9) Add things that you think are missing and are contributing to a scientific report, but limit the number of overall pages of the report to 22 pages (excluding appendices).
