Abstract:
Information is driving enterprises and ecosystems forward. The availability of relevant, useful and timely information is important for discussions, decision-making, and action. Enterprise architecture is a field that provides frameworks, methods and stakeholder-oriented models as information enablers. However, stakeholder-based frameworks and methods may not identify and capture sufficient details about stakeholders’ work practices, pains and relationships between stakeholders. This paper presents a work-oriented approach with method parts and constructs that aim to improve the design, documentation, relevance, enactment, intention to use, use, and evaluation of information products, particularly in enterprise architecture. The explicit incorporation of detailed situational factors, relationships and roles, and actors’ work practices can improve relevance, effectiveness and other use-qualities of information products such as enterprise models. The method parts are designed to extend
and be infused into enterprise architecture methods and frameworks, which can be ISO 42010-based.
