Titre : Designing business tools for the future – the contribution of IS.
Résumé : Based on his work with Alex Osterwalder on business models, Yves Pigneur will suggest that research in business innovation could be improved and enlightened by design science research in Information Systems. He will highlight three areas in which research in IS could inform the development of new business tools. The first area concerns the identification, formalization, and visualization of core constructs and models of interest related to business innovation and co-design of the “Enterprise of the future”. The second area corresponds to the exploration of how design thinking techniques might contribute to improving the design and test of alternatives in business creation. The third area addresses the research in computer-aided design assisting the process of designing business objects.

Titre : Business Ecosystem in 2025.
Résumé : Over the last decades companies have used data as a substitue to paper and files. Lately internet, which is a digital native by all means, seems to be moving in the opposite direction by emerging in the physical world of objects. What should we expect from this encounter, and from the transformations that it will trigger on the way enterprises work? Anticipate the evolutions of enterprises on a 10-15 years timeframe is not easy, considering their diversity and the changing nature of their environment. This talk proposes to start from the Porter model and explore the relations between enterprises and their ecosystem (internal/external) as well as the way they work.
