The Innovation Base

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

3. Modelling processes: • Describe the area of business or concern that the process supports and the goals of the process being modelled. • Identify participants in the process and those responsible for its execution Identify the principal process and the actions that make up that process. • Identify the information/data needed as resources by activities • Identify the information/data produced by activities • Identify the necessary sequence of activities and the decision points in the sequence • Identify any events which can modify the sequence Does notation matter?

4. A small slice of COVARM - in UML

5. In BPMN

6. In Archimate

7. 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

8. 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

9. 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?

10. Rightsizing the HeWorld Knowledgebase 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 • 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 categoriesof ‘stuff’ that people will produce

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

12. Domain Work Role Motivation Rule Artefact Organisation 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)?

13. Activity: Model your process with IB cards

14. Guidelines for the activity: • Using 5 key questions we can look at our pieces of the larger HEsystem: • Where are we? (Domain and Organisation) • Who is here? (Role) • What are they doing and why? (Work and Motivation) • What things do they use and produce? (Artefact) • 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.

15. Domain The Teaching and Learning domain of HE: Subdomain: Programme Topic, area of interest, discipline, environment

16. Organisation University of Poppleton: Teaching and Learning Support and Quality Assurance HEI, faculty, school, company, ad hoc e.g. EU project

17. Role Programme Team Recruitment and Admissions Head of School Faculty Quality Administrator Faculty Committee Finance Marketing External Advisor Validation panel VP Teaching and Learning Set of responsibilities, position, job title, behaviour

18. Motivation • Assuring : • a convincing New programme rationale • The business case – markets • Appropriate timing of the proposal for the HEI Goals, Mission, Vision, Benefits, Aims, Objectives

19. Work • End-to-end new programme validation: • Proposal in principle • Develop proposal content • Final approval Activity, process, workflow, task, practice

20. Artefact • Proposal for approval in principle • Proposal for approval of content • Programme specification • Report from external adviser things in the domain, resources, outputs, documents

21. Rule School action plan to be provided Faculty committee is chaired by Associate Dean A member of the Academic Quality staff will attend Internal advisers must be members of the faculty in which the programme is based Policy, standards, guideline, procedure, business rule
