Model-based Governance for Smart Organizational Future

Today, the effective governance of any organisation - be it a government, a firm, a state-owned entity, or a charity - needs to be based on resilience, transparency, accountability, evidence of effectiveness. This need is stimulated by the all-encompassing public scrutiny of organisations, a trend continuously growing due to the advances in IT. This process has been described in terms of the emergence of technologies and practices of calculation in the context of governance. A common problem is that organisations frequently approach governance as a process of conforming strictly to rules and regulations instead of considering it from a wider systemic perspective. In this workshop, we called for both practical and theoretical research proposals for a better modeling of organizational systems as well as examples of successful application of model-based governance to any kind of organizational system.
