Description

Symposium:

The digitisation of the world is moving fast. Very fast. Currently, according to BusinessInsider, 8.7 billion devices are already connected to the internet. This is expected to reach 75 billion within six years. This produces a huge mountain of information about people, processes and a multitude of different devices. The consequences are impossible to foresee at present, but it is clear that traditional organisational structures no longer work. Successful organisations are therefore aware that a functional (hierarchical) structure does not provide the required flexibility, efficiency and effectiveness in today's customer-driven and rapidly changing digital world. They have therefore tilted the organisation and think and work in processes where information flows are well under control. What does this mean for professional practice, education and research?

Speakers involved in the lectorate Process Innovation & Information Systems will, from the perspective of the above developments, tell in short elevator pitches what is changing and how the lectorate responds to this. The symposium will mainly focus on examples from education.

Today's society is changing ever faster. The rise of social media, apps, big data and cloud computing makes completely new business models possible. The availability of more information also provides opportunities for innovation. In his public lecture, Pascal Ravesteijn argues that renewal of a business model should always take place in conjunction with an adaptation or renewal of processes and supporting information systems. A methodical approach is needed to align IT innovation, process optimisation and information planning, so that IT managers and business managers in organisations no longer talk past each other.

Public lesson:

Dr. ing. Pascal Ravesteijn has been a lecturer at the lectorate Process Innovation and Information Systems at Utrecht University of Applied Sciences since 2013. He is also involved in the Extended Enterprises lectorate as a researcher. He received his PhD from Utrecht University in 2011 on the basis of doctoral research on the implementation of Business Process Management systems. Pascal is passionate about the possibilities IT offers as a driver of innovation in organisations and the control and optimisation of business processes.
