Abstract
The goal of the course is to address how digital process innovation can be used to redesign and digitalize organizational processes and reconfigure internal and external resources to sense and respond to new opportunities using practical methods and theories.
Description

In today’s ever-changing business environment, organizations constantly need to respond to new requirements and opportunities to create value for their stakeholders and create sustainable business models. This course focuses on digital process innovation that exploits the potential of digital technologies to redesign organizational processes and their related architectures they are embedded in, and reconfigure internal/external resources to sense and respond to new opportunities and challenges.

The course will cover:

  • The fundamentals of digital innovation and process management and how they come together in theories of process innovation
  • How methods and techniques of user-led innovation, modeling and prototyping can be used to identify and visualize user needs and create technical solutions that support practical transformations
  • Concepts, theories, and frameworks that support reflecting more broadly on specific process innovations and understand their strategic embeddedness into organizations, industries, and ecosystems

Formal prerequisites
This course is for 2nd semester DIM students.
Intended learning outcomes

After the course, the student should be able to:

  • Discuss theoretical foundations (i.e. theories, frameworks, concepts, and methods) of understanding and managing digital process innovation.
  • Conceptualize new digital process innovations for specific cases based on theoretical foundations.
  • Apply user needs identification and modeling techniques for process innovation that are correct and meet the purpose of eliciting requirements and modeling in specific situations
  • Reflect on the implications of specific elicitation and modeling choices (including choice of modeling technique) in relation to a given process innovation.
  • Develop a prototypical technical solution that innovates a given business process.
  • Analyze and evaluate a given process innovation project using research on process innovation.
  • Reflect on intended and unintended outcomes, including sustainability-related ones, of applying the models, methods and theories taught in the course.
