While technological advances continuously improve the reliability and trustworthiness of individual technological system components, the complex, collaborative architectures relied on by most financial organizations present substantial challenges that span technology, personnel, and process dimensions. As systems and threat environments grow in sophistication, approaches to security testing and evaluation must evolve as well. Traditional approaches to cyber security testing may still be useful to evaluate basic architectural components, however new techniques are needed to enable the enterprise to construct simulation exercises that model real-world threat conditions and test the resiliency of all architectural components, including personnel and process dimensions. Organizations must not only establish capabilities to recognize breach attempts, but take decisive response action under conditions of uncertainty and stress. Techniques to evaluate resilient enterprise architectures sometimes underemphasize the threats surrounding human dimensions. This paper examines emerging risk considerations presented by increased connectivity among financial services enterprises. It explores new requirements for testing and evaluation of enterprise resiliency as well as organizational detection and response capabilities. The paper considers industry and other external environmental factors driving the need to develop comprehensive evaluation approaches to evaluate the effectiveness of enterprise capabilities in order to embed capability effectiveness assessments within enterprise risk management practices. Limitations of current cyber testing approaches in simulating the emerging cyber threat environment are identified, and the value of realistic, time-bound drills and tests that mimic the stress of real-world cyber events are explored.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"595 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114404631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A core aspect is that the involved disciplines are highly interdependent. Hence, the interdisciplinary coordination of discipline-spanning interfaces is a core issue for successful development. This contribution addresses the need for a better coordination in interdisciplinary development projects. Therefore, this contribution seizes a structured method to coordinate interdisciplinary issues, based on requirements traceability. The core aspect of the method is the connection of development artifacts in a graph based model: Products, functions, components, requirements, the organizational structure and their links are visualized. A set of rules is implemented to analyze the system in order derive coordination needs and affected objects and stakeholders. This method is successfully implemented into a software tool. The interdisciplinary coordination should be supported by analyses that quickly identify and visualize connections among these elements. For a further proof of feasibility, the tool was successfully applied in a semi-academic context. This evaluation case reveals further potential in the field of automated model generation.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114573195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Service innovation may take place in multiple dimensions, considering technological and non-technological elements. It may result from planned efforts, but can also emerge from the service practice, what indicates that these models may not be the only way open to service companies. The present article analyzes whether reference models for innovation management, which have influenced new product and service development activities, are suitable and adopted by service companies in the information technology (IT) sector in Brazil. We analyzed data from 10 Brazilian IT service companies, supplying software development, systems integration and mobile services development. Findings suggest that traditional reference models for innovation management are suitable to service companies, but three other possibilities were identified. These possibilities relate to the innovation processes discussed by Toivonen (2010) and are identified here as (i) compression rapid application model, (ii) experiential rapid application model and (iii) practice-driven model. Even though innovation management models are not able to capture all diversity present in service sectors, acknowledgement of the different service innovation dimensions and innovation processes allow service companies to improve their understanding, develop competencies, and organize better their innovation efforts.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125982274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The MECI cycle is founded on Ba (roughly meaning 'field'). The Ba concept was proposed by Nonaka and Konno as a context shared among Ba participants, and by Carlson and Wilmot as an innovation team. The function of Ba they described is limited to interactions or communications among participants, however, even though Ba has diverse functions. The authors regard Ba as classifiable into three categories, Ba of catalysis, Ba of group working and Ba of networks. Different types of Ba influence innovation in different ways. In Ba of catalysis two ideas react through a catalytic effect of Ba to create a new idea for innovation. In Ba of the group working, participants share their context and commitment, and are coupled tightly by communication. Everyday discussion fosters a sense of unity, which strongly promotes development. In Ba of networks, many participants exchange their information every day using the internet. They are loosely coupled by communication. Their innovation can be truly democratized. Results suggest that innovations created in the Ba of networks will be dominant in future efforts.","PeriodicalId":438177,"journal":{"name":"2017 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology (PICMET)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123520596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
