Framing Enterprise Engineering Within General System's Theory - Perspectives of a Human Centered Future

摘要

The emerging field of Enterprise Engineering is growing in maturity, built on solid scientific grounds. Its principles, methodologies and tools are proving to be valuable in several real life contexts, where complexity and dynamics of change are high and intellectual manageability is essential to make sense the emergent realities and to support consistent visions of the future. An Enterprise is a complex dynamic system and as such, it is subject to the laws of nature, like many other systems. The rich BoK of General Systems Theory and in particular the science of Dynamic Systems Theory and Control are fully applicable to any system, and in particular, to any Enterprise. In this Keynote Lecture, Dr. Tribolet will frame the fundamentals of Enterprise Engineering within the wider framework of General Systems Theory, with emphasis of the use of concepts of Observability and Controllability in Enterprise Design and on the novel concept of ESA - Enterprise Self Awareness, to support viable Enterprise Operations, Control and Governance.
