Inaugural Lecture by Prof Jan vom Brocke

How can organizations and societies respond to continuous change? How can they sense change, adapt to change and constantly produce innovate services in times of change? In this talk, Professor vom Brocke introduces Process Science as an emerging interdisciplinary field to scientifically research change and to fundamentally advance capabilities of digital service innovation in times of change. Process science studies socio-technical processes, which involve coherent series of changes over time, entailing actions and events that include humans and digital technologies. The ubiquitous availability of digital trace data, combined with advanced data analytics capabilities, offer new and unprecedented opportunities to study such processes through multiple data sources. Process science is concerned with describing, explaining, and intervening in socio-technical change. It is based on four key principles; it (1) puts socio-technical processes at the center of attention, (2) investigates socio-technical processes scientifically, (3) embraces perspectives of multiple disciplines, and (4) aims to create impact by actively shaping the unfolding of socio-technical processes. Professor vom Brocke will provide many examples of Process Science across industries, and he will present the Process Science Methodology, which enables both organizations and universities to engage in digital service innovation in times of change.
