“…Three use cases in the sectors of e-government [4], energy [17], and insurance [18] prove that the methodology is successful when applied to full-fledged enterprises that intend to become more context-aware and adaptive. However, studies on the application of the CDD and its effects in innovative start-up projects in entrepreneurial settings are missing.…”

“…Context models capture and document such scenarios, relate them with the objectives and capabilities of the start-up with the aim of increasing the viability of the business idea also under changing conditions. To introduce the important concepts used by the LightCDD, we use a simplified version of the meta-model developed in the CaaS project [4]. The relevant aspects of reality or, in other words, important concepts and the "language" of the LightCDD, are depicted in Figure 5 and explained in Table 1.…”

“…Recently, modeling and management of capabilities have been proposed as a way to cope with the challenges in dynamic environments. In that respect, a EU-FP7 project Capability as a Service in Digital Enterprises (CaaS) addresses methods and approaches with which the organisations may adapt to the changes and secure a competitive advantage [4]. To enable digital enterprises to sense and take advantage of changes in business context, CaaS engineers the Capability Driven Development (CDD) method.…”

Abstract. Novice innovators and entrepreneurs face the risk of designing naive business models. In fact, lack of viability in business models is perceived to be a major threat for the start-up success. Both the literature and the responses we gathered from experts in incubation present evidences of this problem. The LightCDD method helps entrepreneurs in the analysis, design and specification of start-ups that are context aware and adaptive to contextual changes and evolution. In this article we describe the LightCDD method, a context-aware enterprise modeling method that is tailored for business model generation. The LightCDD applies a lightweight Capability-Driven Development (CDD) methodology. It reduces the set of modeling constructs and guidelines to facilitate its adoption by entrepreneurs, yet keeping it expressive enough for their purposes and, at the same time, compatible with the CDD methodology. We provide a booklet with the LightCDD method for start-ups development. The feasibility of the LightCDD method is validated by means of its application to one start-up development case. From a practitioner viewpoint (entrepreneurs and experts in incubation), it is important to provide integrative modeling perspectives to specify business ideas, but it is vital to keep it light. The LightCDD is giving a step forward in this direction. From a researcher point of view, the LightCDD booklet facilitates the application of LightCDD to different start-up development cases. The feasibility validation has produced important feedback for further empirical validation exercises in which is necessary to study the scalability and sensitivity of LightCDD.

“…Recently, capability driven development (CDD) has been proposed as an approach for ensuring that solutions can be delivered in different contexts at the desired level of performance [10]. The approach presumes that rather than providing a simple business solution the vendor possesses certain capabilities and is able to provide such a capability to its clients facing different operating circumstances.…”

Abstract. In many application areas, vendors offer to their clients combinations of software products and services, which can be considered as software-service bundles. The clients select a combination of software product and associated service best suited to their individual requirements and circumstances. The bundle usually has to be configured by the vendor to fit the specific situation of the client. When circumstances change, the software-service bundle or its configuration need adaptation. The article proposes a method helping clients to select the most appropriate combination or configuration. The method is based on information sharing between the vendor and client and also supports the continuous improvement of the solution in response to changing circumstances. The method applies principles and techniques of the Capability Driven Development to specify performance objectives and contextual factors affecting delivery of a software-service bundle. Application of the method is shown using an illustrative case of a data processing service from utility industries.

In this era of rapid change and major technology-enabled transformations, information systems design needs to take into account the specific context of the organizational setting and the strategic direction of the enterprise. To this end, researchers and practitioners have built on the concept of capability to analyze what a business can and should do to manage its strategic trajectories. This paper describes four categories of modeling and analysis requirements to deal with capability formation. The requirements are identified through a review of the origins of the capability concept in the strategic management literature. A set of guidelines is proposed as part of a modeling framework based on the i* language. Enterprise Capabilities are modeled as a specialized type of intentional actor so that their socio-technical characteristics can be specified and analyzed. This approach to modeling capabilities enables reasoning about (1) why a capability is needed, (2) how it is achieved, (3) how it fits within the organizational and social setting of the enterprise, and (4) what relationships are required for its success. The applicability of the guidelines and associated viewpoints are demonstrated on a chatbot example.
