                          Apart from sales
                           is this supporting

Blue Ocean Strategy Meta-Model




27/11/2012
i*
 Goal modeling notation primarily used within
  Requirements Engineering,
 Represents intentionality and rationale around the
  system of interest,
 Puts the system of interest in perspective within the
  social setting meant to be employed,
 Addresses goals and actors (organizational entities),
 Adheres to a unified meta-model that includes all
  elements of the notation and captures most known
  variants (i*/Yu, i*/Trento, i*/GRL, etc.)

The i* Meta-Model

Conceptual Relationships




                Concept mappings between meta-
                 models when possible,
                When not, lexicon of the i* model is
                 used.

Conclusion

 A conceptualization of Blue Ocean Strategy (BOS) is
  built in the form of a conceptual model: BOSMM
 Model based mappings between BOSMM and i*, have
  been proposed
 An example application of these mappings is also
  provided using the case of Southwest Airlines.

Discussion

 The RE process is facilitated with an initial i* model
  that frames the intentionality of systems developed.
 Traceability between a system-to-be and strategy is
  enhanced, thus offering reason to support decisions
  taking.
 Requirements can be traced to strategic goals
  providing reason.
 The conceptualization of BOS can be integrated into
  UBSMM and provide a complete view of strategy

Model-based Strategic-IT Alignment:
towards UBSMM
UBSMM can be used:
     In enterprises with multiple strategies across
      units/locations/etc.
           allowing CIOs to align strategies, and thus
            align/exchange requirements
           Allowing CIOs to integrate with strategies of
            others
     As a standard pivot model for mappings between
      strategy formulations
     As a generic meta-model for strategy adhering to
      a classical Model Driven classification(Meta-

Future Work

 Integrate BOSMM to UBSMM
 Explore the possibility to abstract UBSMM into a
  generic meta-model for strategy adhering to
  classical meta-modeling, where:
     Strategy (meta-model)
             Strategy Maps variant of UBSMM (model)
             Value Chain variant of UBSMM (model)

Editor's Notes

  • #4: Here we need to clarify that by Strategy we mean both business strategy and corporate strategy as the terms widely used in a mixed way in the literature
  • #5: Classical requirements example, BUT where is the strategy?????
  • #6: Context of our work
  • #7: The 3 views of strategic planning from top to bottom:The Resource-based view: Strategy Maps & Balanced ScorecardsThe Industrial view: Value Chain, Shop, NetworkThe Shumpeterian view: Blue Ocean StrategyThe models and figures are not meant to be read, only to point (the value chain is well known by its shape)
