“…Experiences are shared (Renger et al 2008;Stirna et al 2007) and guidance is proposed on when to choose participatory or conventional modeling (Sandkuhl and Seigerroth 2020). Research also addresses various aspects of the actual content of such sessions, e. g., how they should be structured (Fellmann et al 2020), how distributed real-time collaboration can be conducted over the web (Nicolaescu et al 2016), how multi-touch tables can be used (Gutschmidt 2019). Studies also cover concrete conversations (Hoppenbrouwers and Wilmont 2010), psychological issues (Gutschmidt 2022;Gutschmidt and Richter 2021), or how the quality of collaborative modeling can be assessed (Ssebuggwawo et al 2010).…”

For more than 35 years, Ulrich Frank has shaped Wirtschaftsinformatik as a scientific discipline through thoughtful and sophisticated research contributions and his numerous contributions to the scientific community.Informing Possible Future Worlds is the Festschrift in honour of Ulrich Frank on the occasion of his 65 th birthday. The Festschrift includes twenty-three essays written by friends, colleagues, and fellow researchers in recognition of Ulrich's contributions to Wirtschaftsinformatik research and the scientific community. Each essay is a personal and unique 'birthday present' to Ulrich Frank written exclusively for the Festschrift. From original research contributions to more personal reflections, the essays cover a wide range of topics, themes, and fields -just like Ulrich Frank's contributions.For more than 35 years, Ulrich Frank has shaped and promoted Wirtschaftsinformatik as a scientific discipline through his thoughtful and sophisticated research contributions and his numerous contributions to the scientific community. He has initiated, engaged in and promoted scientific discourse nationally and internationally, inspired, encouraged and guided young researchers, and played an outstanding part in the Wirtschaftsinformatik community.Starting with his Diplomarbeit in 1982 on 'Die Problematisierung von Zielbildungsprozessen in Unternehmungen durch die Betriebswirtschaftslehre unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Verhältnisses von Wissenschaft und Praxis' (supervised by Erwin Grochla at the Universität zu Köln), Ulrich has cultivated his interest not only in Betriebswirtschaftslehre and Wirtschaftsinformatik, Software Engineering and Conceptual Modelling, but also in the Philosophy of Science, the Philosophy of Language, the Sociology of Knowledge and in Organisational Sociology. For his Diplomarbeit, he read Albert, Feyerabend, Mittelstrass, and Popper, among others, and reflected on organisational goal-setting ('Zielbildungsprozesse') from multiple, complementary perspectives -a lifelong leitmotiv he later incorporated in his Multi-Perspective Enterprise Modelling (MEMO) method.An avid reader and bibliophile, Ulrich must have learned about Niklas Luhmann, the German sociologist working at Universität Bielefeld, Ulrich's hometown, likely in his teens, and started his own personal discourse with Luhmann's writings, and from there on expanded his readings. At about the same time, Ulrich started to program computers, developed and sold his first software application, and, most importantly, discovered Smalltalk, the programming language created by Alan Kay and others at Xerox PARC's Learning Research Group -which has strongly influenced him to this day and which he has admired ever since.Following his discovery of Smalltalk, he took a deep dive into Object-Oriented Programming and Object-Oriented Modelling that took him to take a minor in Angewandte Informatik (Applied Informatics) at the Universität zu Köln during his graduate studies.vii His doctoral research with Alfred Kieser at Universität Mannheim ...

“…Besides non-digital tools such as a whiteboard or a plastic wall, one may use a digital tool such as a tabletop. A tabletop is a large touch screen embedded in or placed on top of a table [4]. In case the modeling software allows parallel input, the participants should be able to collaboratively create models without any restrictions [12].…”

Tabletops represent a convenient digital workspace that serves the purpose of collaborative enterprise modeling well. The participants of a modeling session must, however, share this workspace. In this paper, we will present a study on personal space and territorial behavior in collaborative modeling sessions of six different teams. We found that areas on the tabletop can be identified that are predominantly occupied by certain individuals. This, however, does not automatically imply the existence of personal territories. In fact, we state that personal territories were less represented than a general territory that seemed to belong to the whole team. The absence of an etiquette, e.g., participants usually did not ask for permission before taking away an item situated near a team colleague, underlines this finding and supports our assumption that the participants feel a collective ownership towards the model.

“…al (2007) give a very concrete advice to start with an analogous tool such as a plastic wall where everyone may equally contribute, and later formalize the model by a method expert with a computerized tool. Similar to a whiteboard, a tabletop may also enable participants to simultaneously work [18], although space limitations of the whiteboard may restrict usage possibilities to smaller models. One may, however, extend the workspace by using additional devices such as tablet, as suggested by Nolte et al (2016), which represent private spaces where sub-groups may work on their ideas.…”

The importance of involving enterprise stakeholders in organizational transformation and development processes has been acknowledged in many scholarly publications in the context of business information systems research. Method and tool support for this is particularly explored and provided by the field of participatory enterprise modelling (PEM). In PEM, modelling sessions involving all relevant stakeholders and guided by a modelling facilitator are a central element. However, the published work on PEM is not very extensive with respect to structuring such modelling sessions, in particular when combining analytical and design parts. It is hence hard for novice modelling facilitators to plan a workshop, to switch between different workshop phases and to react to unforeseen events. Since existing literature covers only generic aspects of workshop moderation, we fill this gap in providing an initial model that can serve to inform, structure and guide PEM sessions. The model has been developed by analysing examples from real-world modelling sessions.
