Requirement Patterns for Organizational Modeling

Abstract

The organizational environment is defined by a complex and dynamic interaction of elements that act together to achieve goals. Organizational modeling helps stakeholders to better understand this complexity and analyze details in order to help the identification of changes that are necessary to keep the organization aligned with its strategic goals. However, it is still hard to map the many organizational perspectives into an organizational model. In our research, we are seeking to improve organizational alignment analysis using models, in special through the design of the GPI-HR language. We have identified the need to define patterns to map the concepts of human competency and context that are required in the organizational modeling to evaluate alignment over the human resources perspective. We present the patterns and how they are used in the GPI-HR language.
