Abstract
Organizations are dealing with a continuous need to adapt to their dynamic environments by changing their business capabilities. KYKLOS is a recently developed modeling method aiming to provide methodological and tool support for the phenomenon of capability change in organizations. This paper reports on a case study used to demonstrate and evaluate KYKLOS. The case study has been performed in a company in the ERP system consulting domain, and the results have been used to evaluate the method using two groups of evaluators, a business user group and a group of modeling experts. The paper reports the insights and findings that validate and motivate future research about the method and the different perspectives between the two groups of evaluators.
