The Design and Management of
Knowledge Intensive Enterprises
Michael Mann, Ph.D.
Chairman and C.E.O., EnCompass Knowledge Systems, Inc.Traditional organizational designs and management practices have proven to be inadequate for managing knowledge intensive enterprises subject to an ever increasing pace of change. No matter what their field of endeavor, "world class" enterprises exhibit a common characteristics -- the ability to access, integrate, and utilize the knowledge and competencies diffused throughout their organizations, and to align business processes, organizational processes, and systems. These requirements are driving fundamental changes in the concept of the organization and the development and adoption of new tools and methodologies for designing and managing the enterprise.Thursday, 10:30am, August 3rd: http://den.usc.edu/speakersAudiences: Everyone Is Invited

MODELING AND SIMULATION OF PROCESSES FOR COMPLEX SOFTWARE-INTENSIVE SYSTEMS
Mon, Aug 28, 2006 @ 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
University Calendar
Epstein ISE Department SeminarDr. Raymond Madachy,
Research Scientist,
USC Center for Software EngineeringABSTRACT:
The evaluation of process strategies for the architecting and engineering of complex systems involves many interrelated factors. This talk will describe research on the modeling and simulation of processes for developing complex software-intensive systems. Effective systems and software engineering requires a balanced view of technology, business or mission goals, and people. System dynamics is a rich and integrative simulation framework used to quantify their complex interactions and the strategy tradeoffs between cost, schedule, quality and risk. Past and currently funded research will be highlighted including overviews of 1) a commercial business value model of the dynamics between product specifications, development cost and schedule, software quality practices, and market factors to determine the appropriate balance of process activities and 2) a model for an extremely large and complex system-of-systems for the U.S. Army to assess incremental hybrid processes in light of change volatility and support decision-making with respect to process design, change deferral policies and staffing.MONDAY, AUGUST 28, 2006,
