Benefits Realisation Management
Published 12. February 2019 by Prof. Dr. Susan P. Williams
The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) has awarded a two-year extension of funding to Professor Dr. Susan Williams and Professor Dr Petra Schubert at the Center for Enterprise Information Research (CEIR) for their research project entitled A sociotechnical framework for enterprise collaboration systems benefits realisation.
The first phase of the DFG funded project, conducted in collaboration with 12 industry partners in the DACH region, resulted in the development of a framework and methods for measuring and monitoring the benefits organisations achieve from their enterprise collaboration systems (ECS). Building on the success of phase one, the group of industry partners has been increased to 31 companies and the focus is extended to examine the digital transformation process and the identification of the capabilities and resources required to design and sustain a digital workplace.
