1. The Innovation Base Tom Franklin Franklin Consulting Hilary Dexter University of Manchester

2. Overview What is the Innovation Base Archimate and the Innovation Base Modelling exercise The Innovation Base

3. What is the Innovation Base? A place For storing and sharing models Of any sort –Formal or informal –Image, description or model To help people model for themselves And To share knowledge and experience

4. What is the Innovation Base for? To help projects make their (modelling) outputs more useful To help programme managers understand their domains To help analysts in their work To support the e-Framework To support communities of practice To support interoperability and reuse

5. What is the Innovation Base for? To answer questions like: –Who is involved in student progression? –Who requires training in new health and safety procedures? –Which applications does the student record system interact with? –Who uses the student record systems? –Which SUMs support student registration?

6. Archimate and Innovation Base Creating and sharing our models of HEworld Hilary Dexter and Tom Franklin 19.5.2009

7. Benefits of having a knowledgebase for models of HE world and all our ‘stuff’ Making models brings clarity Exemplars to support new work Easy to find useful and interesting stuff Triggers for discussion Extends lifespan of outputs Eases project reporting Can re-visit and add to an area – the kb will grow and evolve There are benefits to both contributor and consumer

8. Rightsizing the HeWorld Knowledgebase Lower barriers to contribution and consumption Build modelling capability across the sector Avoid vocabulary and granularity ‘issues’ Enable collection of ‘usefully related’ materials We need to: So we aggregate elements into more general categories of ‘stuff’ that people will produce Innovation Base (IB) is a simplified structure derived from an HE domain model; Peoples’ models of things in HEworld are in UML, BPMN, Archimate, free text, sketches…These models will be kept in IB

9. IB: a smallish number of generous/inclusive buckets Domain Event Rule Artefact Information Transaction Role Motivation Competency Lifecycle State Lifecycle Organisation Service Application Project Quality Evaluation Work

10. Joining things up We want to make our models of things like business processes in such a way that we can make use of others’ examples and share our outputs. Which buckets do we need for modelling a business process (and fitting it into an enterprise architecture)? Domain Rule Artefact MotivationRole Organisation Work

11. Activity: Model your process with IB cards

12. Guidelines for the activity: We need to be able to talk to each other about our issues in a consistent way and know that we have a shared understanding of all the parts of a particular situation. Using 5 key questions we can look at our pieces of the larger HEsystem: 1)Where are we? (Domain and Organisation) 2)Who is here? (Role) 3)What are they doing and why? (Work and Motivation) 4)What things do they use and produce? (Artefact) 5)What controls their work? (Rule) Activity: build your own business process… We look for the concrete examples from our own areas and for the links between them.
