Working Session: Innovation Scenarios

Hands-on session for each group to work on their Scene2Model Innovation Scenario.

Innovation and transformation, as well as the emergence of disruptive business ecosystems have gained increasing significance. One approach to tackle this complex task is Design Thinking, which applies designer problem-solving techniques for agile, ideation, prototyping and testing in innovative processes through collaboration among stakeholders. The goal is to generate ideas by using different design thinking methods, based on tangible visualization of certain aspects of the problem within a developed solution space, where collaboration among stakeholders plays a central role. Design Thinking enables early exploration and validation of design(s) of new services, smart products, and disruptive business models, but it restricts to location and temporal availability of stakeholders. Absent stakeholders must be informed afterward, which is often not directly supported by the Design Thinking methods applied.

Through the Scene2Model tool, a transformation of the physical visualization into digital conceptual models is enabled, so that they can be processed and used within modelling tools, further decomposed, and combined with available enterprise assets. This approach enables a location and time-independent collaboration of globally distributed networks and stakeholders, implied by the digital transformation and globalization of businesses. The interplay of Conceptual Modelling and Design Thinking establishes a connection between unrestrained design artefacts and more formal abstractions (e.g., business process models).

Participants will use the SAP Scenes as haptic figures to depict a disruptive scenario in the context of a Smart City. Supported by the Scene2Model Tool, the participants will be exploring innovative and smart solutions and building the key moments into a storyboard, and transform these scenes into diagramatic models while simultaneously semantically enriching them.
