Enterprise ontology based splitting and contracting of organizations

Abstract

Our research program aims at finding and testing principles for deciding on organization splits and starting cooperation over the split. We tested a method to make underpinned choices on the organization split and to ensure completeness in contracting. Using actors from Enterprise Ontology as organization building blocks of a Dutch governmental agency, experts constructed their own gut feeling organization split and systematically listed (a) ownership of assets (b) quality of business and information services and (c) critical chain-dependencies. The proposed organization split is, confirming an earlier experiment, quite close to graph theory based calculated alternatives. The listing of contracting items helped to determine in a fast and shared way subsequent implementation steps, e.g., ensuring mutual information supply and formulating performance indicators.
