4 What is LEADing Practice LEADing Practice is the #1 provider of Enterprise Standards - setting the agenda for 56 Industries with over 106 interconnected standards. Recognized as a paradigm shift by the global business, governmental and IT communities to empower through its Reference Content, a structured way of thinking, working, modeling and implementation - enabling organizations to innovate, transform, and deliver value. Acknowledged as a open standards concepts and adopted by most of the fortune 500 and public organizations and is integrated into software solutions such as SAP (ASAP Methodology), IBM Rational, IBM System Architect, igrafx and Software AG (Aris ). Today, LEADing Practice is the fastest growing open source standard development community, supported by the 2nd largest certified community of practitioners. The LEADing Practice Enterprise Standards are the result of years of international industry research and expert consensus on repeatable patterns that can be reused and replicated. The enterprise standards are packed as "Reference Content" and is both agnostic and vendor neutral. Designed to be tailored and implemented by any organization, both large and small, regardless of its various frameworks, methods, products/services or activities. The enterprise standards are developed in the following ways: Research and analyse what works, again and again (best practice), and what are unique practices applied by leading organizations (leading practices). Identify common and repeatable patterns which provide the basis for the LEADing Practice Enterprise Standards. Develop Reference Content that increase the level of re-usability and replication within the field of enterprise modeling, enterprise engineering and enterprise architecture. Extended with accelerators that adopt and reproduce the identified best practices and leading practices. Each of the 106 enterprise standards reference content is fully integrated with other standards reference content. Ensuring full integration and standardization when applying the reference content. Thereby having the ability to use reference content from strategy to competencies, processes, services as well as operational execution as a cross linkage throughout the Business, Technology and Application layers, which enables innovation and transformation. w w w.leadingpractice.c om 4

5 With the various accelerators within the reference content each organization can benefiting from experience of leading and best practices. Making it easier, less time consuming and cheaper to apply object descriptions, relations and rules to enable Enterprise Modelling, Enterprise Engineering and Enterprise Architecture.

6 What is the Global University Alliance Founded in 2004, the Global University Alliance is a non-profit organization and international consortium of university lecturers and researchers whose aim it is to provide a collaborative platform for academic research, analysis and development and to explore leading practices, best practices as well as to develop missing practices. The Global University Alliance currently consists of +430 universities, lecturers and researchers from across the world and is growing rapidly in size and scope. The Global University Alliance aims to align intellectual resources across the academic world to: RESEARCH: Address research concerns and questions that span around enterprise ontology and thereby the enterprise concepts, design, functions, tasks, information handling and governance and the relationships between those concepts within enterprise modelling and enterprise architecture disciplines. UNIVERSITY CURRICULUM: Develop university curriculums for both Bachelor and Master level (existing BPM, SOA, Enterprise Architecture, Sustainability, Information Management and Project Management). DEVELOP STANDARDS: Package applied academic research and findings into frameworks, methods and approaches that can be used by industries and universities alike. COMMUNITY SHARING: Share and publish the findings either in publications or to this open standard community. The Global University Alliance (GUA) is an open group of academics with the ambition to provide both business and academia with state-of-the-art insights. Through its ties with the LEADing practice community, which includes large firms and governments, the GUA is able to evaluate and valorize its scientific output. Since 2004, the members of the GUA strive for a continuous improvement of their expertise through the research, comparison, analysis and development of Best and LEADing Practices in Business. Throughout this process, the GUA built its own implicit ontology that revolves around its expertise of Best and LEADing practices. As ontology formally represents knowledge as a set of concepts within a domain, and the relationships between those concepts, it can be used to model a domain and support reasoning about concepts. The Global University Alliance has used the concept of ontology as both a shared vocabulary and the very definition of its objects and concepts. In order to go the next steps and fully use the potential of its ontology. w w w.leadingpractice.c om 6

7 The basis for Ontology is the Enterprise Semantics. The term Semantics arises from Ancient Greek: σημαντικός sēmantikós and is originally about the study of meaning. The word semantics itself denotes a range of ideas and focuses on the relation between signifiers, symbols and objects. Semantics (or Semantic) is about making meaning from the objects using the best possible signifiers and symbols. It includes those signifiers and symbols used to describe the relationship between objects as this comparison further enhances their meaning. Enterprise Semantics is therefore the study of objects and symbols used to describe the enterprise, what they stand for, their underlying formal logics and their relationship and correlation. The formal study of semantics intersects with many other fields of inquiry, including: Enterprise Ontology the nature of something as well as the basic categories. Enterprise Pragmatics the sharing of meanings gathered from Enterprise Semantics across its diverse interpretations in practice, leading towards a universal truth whilst maintaining these wide-ranging interpretations and beliefs in the real world. Modelling Perspective- the impact of modelling and engineering as it most usefully aligns the relevant parts of the enterprise. Enterprise Philosophy considers the fundamental principles that underlie the formation and operation of a specific object (and thereby business/enterprise).

8 Summary of how LEADing Practice was created In 2004, the first version of LEADing Practice (LEAD 1.0) Enterprise Standards where based on university research, analysis, comparison as well as work with companies. Continuing work through the university alliance on Enterprise Modelling, Enterprise Engineering and Enterprise Architecture research, analysis and concept comparison, resulted in the more standardized and principle based release of LEAD 2.0 (2009). The modelling principles captured in LEAD 2.0 created much interest with companies around the world as well as software vendors such as SAP AG, IBM, Software AG (IDS Scheer and ARIS), as well as igrafx whom are all incorporating aspects of this work into their methods and tools. Below is a short overview of the industry adoption LEAD is experiencing in recent years (a few highlights): 2010, the Official SAP book was published, using the LEAD modelling principles: Taylor, J, von Rosing, M., von Scheel, H., Rosenberg, A., Applying Real-World BPM in an SAP Environment, Issue Date: , Published by: SAP Press, ISBN: , Page(s): , LEAD modelling principles were presented at the IDS Scheer, ARIS Process World. 2011, The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers published a paper based on the research and findings around combining BPM and Enterprise Architecture principles: Presten, T., Hove, M., von Rosing, M., Academic paper, Published by: IEEE Commerce and Enterprise Computing Page(s): 271:278, Issue Date: , the Global University Alliance collaborated with TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework) to develop the profession of a Business Architect; this included the process modelling, requirement management and architecture principles , SAP adapted the LEAD value, process, requirement management and application modelling principles into their SAP ASAP Method; providing SAP customers access to the LEAD Reference Content within their blueprint, implementation, maintenance, and upgrade methods and approaches : Software AG-IDS Scheer enhance their ARIS process and information modelling meta model, based on the LEADing Practice modelling and architecture concepts. Starting in 2012, the Government of Canada uses the LEAD Reference Content as well as the modelling and architecture concepts to guide the transformation of key organizations as well as to blueprint/implement SAP and Oracle ERP systems : LEADing Practice modelling and architecture concepts applied within the IBM Rational suite software, enabling advanced System Architecture modelling : igrafx builds the core LEADing Practice modelling and architecture concepts into their process flow, process modeler, performance reporting, and enterprise modeler software. 2013, LEGO Group wins the Gartner Group Award: Best BPM Transformation by leveraging the LEADing Practice principles. 2013: German Government receives the LEADing Practice award of the year based on their extraordinary Service Oriented and BPM automation using extended BPMN and business architecture principles. w w w.leadingpractice.c om 8

9 2014: the US Government joint the LEADing Practice community and they do joint development around the Alignment Unity Framework and Reference Content. 2014: Prof. August-Wilhelm Scheer the fathers of process modelling, BPM as well as ARIS, receives a Life Time Award from the Global University Alliance and LEAD Community. 2014, NATO, uses parts of the LEAD Reference Content within their underlying meta model concept. 2015: John A. Zachman the fathers of Enterprise Architecture thinking today joins the Board of LEADing Practice and Global University Alliance. The LEADing Practice community today consists of practitioners and has developed 106 different Enterprise Standards with detailed Reference Contents, we have 11 Industry User Group Committees and 56 different Sub-Industry User Groups that provide a global platform for executives, experts, academics, thought-leaders, practitioners and researchers to develop, use and apply Enterprise Standards and their reference content. Why we develop Enterprise Standards Simply said, the lack of existing Enterprise Standards in the areas of Business Management, Enterprise Modelling, Information & Technology, Enterprise Transformation, Enterprise Engineering and Enterprise Architecture has created the demand for such a community. Our analysis and research within the Global University Alliance, a group of +430 universities, academics and researchers has identified that the lack of repeatable standards has high costs, lack of innovation and business process inefficiencies. The need to develop reusable and replicable patterns that can be implemented by any organization, both large and small, regardless of its products/services or activities was therefore apparent. How we develop the Enterprise Standards The Enterprise Standards are the result of international industry experts and academic consensus. The standards are both agnostic and vendor neutral and are built on repeatable patterns that can be reused/replicated and thereby implemented by any organization, both large and small, regardless of its products/services or activities. All together describing the set of procedures an organization needs to follow in order to replicate the ability to identify, create and realize value in the specified area/subject. The Enterprise Standards have been developed in the following ways: Research and analyze Industry Best Practices & Leading Practices. Identifying common and repeatable patterns (the basis of our standards). Develop the Enterprise Standards that increase the level of re-usability and replication. Build Industry accelerators within the standards, enabling to adopt and reproduce the Best & Leading Practices. w w w.leadingpractice.c om 9

Information Technology (#LEAD-IS12) As our Industry User Groups have members distributed throughout the world, they communicate with various technologies from web sessions, chat capabilities, message boards, mailing lists and Skype meetings. While the user groups are devoted to one Industry or sub industry, the subjects researched and analyzed within the industry are used as input in the multiple industry standards. However, it can happen that a specific user group is devoted to a narrow range of industry ideas and concepts or has strict confidentiality or security requirements. In this case the industry user group is closed and does not collaborate with the other Industry User Groups. All user group work is documented and the industry standards they produce (open for the LEADing Practice community or closed for only that user group) are tracked under the following Industry Standard reference content numbers: Financials User Group & Industry Standard Committee Industry Group Name: Reference Content # Central Bank Commercial Bank Insurance Real Estate Industrial User Group & Industry Standard Committee LEAD-IS10001 LEAD-IS10002 LEAD-IS10003 LEAD-IS10004 Industry Group Name: Reference Content # Aerospace & Defense Automotive Chemicals Forestry & Paper Mining Construction & Materials Electronic & Electrical Equipment Industrial Engineering LEAD-IS20001 LEAD-IS20002 LEAD-IS20003 LEAD-IS20004 LEAD-IS20005 LEAD-IS20006 LEAD-IS20007 LEAD-IS20008 Consumer Goods User Group & Industry Standard Committee Industry Group Name: Reference Content # Automobiles & Parts Food Beverage Tobacco LEAD-IS30001 LEAD-IS30002 LEAD-IS30003 LEAD-IS30004 w w w.leadingpractice.c om 14

To ensure full integration to other methods and approaches within an organization, the enterprise & w w w.leadingpractice.c om 16

17 industry standards have an ontology and semantic concept built in that allows for the enterprise & industry standards meta objects to be reused. This includes applying the various standards: Management Principles to define the strategy, objectives, performance indicators as well as to administer, govern and control the various enterprise initiatives. Engineering Principles how and where it can or needs to be decomposed and composed together. Modelling Principles which design concepts can or should be applied. Architecture Principles which architecture rules apply and which artifacts and templates (e.g. maps, matrices and models) could or should be applied. Information & Technology principles - that enables the automation and optimization of the organization. Transformation & Innovation principles - where and how can things be optimized, modernized or thought through in a new way. Creating the ability to "Unify" different enterprise standards together as well as combine them with the industry standards (or vise versa) concepts in combining the relevant aspect. Developing a whole new concept of agile integration and standardization. Who do we coordinate and collaborate with The organizations we work with are for the most Enterprises in forms of business or universities. Furthermore we work standards organization we collaborate or coordinate with, are standards developing organization (SDO), standards body or standards setting organization (like governments). Among some of them are: US Government: Several United States Federal government agencies develop and issue standards and specifications. The General Services Administration and the Department of Defense are the two primary agencies responsible for issuing procurement standards and specifications. To identify those issued use the Index of Federal Specifications, Standards and Commercial Item Descriptions (published by GSA) and The Index of Specifications and Standards (published by the Department of Defense). Canadian Government: Develops national policies and standards for Canada. Offering a wide range of standards development services, including development of National Standards of Canada (NSC), CGSB standards, specifications, and Government of Canada (GC) forms and support to the development of International (ISO) Standards. The International Organization for Standardization known as ISO, is an international standard- setting body composed of representatives from various national standards organizations. ISO is a voluntary organization whose members are recognized authorities on standards, each one representing one country. Members meet annually at a General Assembly to discuss ISO's strategic objectives. The organization is coordinated by a Central Secretariat based in Geneva. The Technical Management Board is responsible for over 250 technical committees, who develop the ISO standards. w w w.leadingpractice.c om 17

18 The Object Management Group (OMG ) is a technology standards consortium. OMG Task Forces develop enterprise integration standards for a wide range of technologies and an even wider range of industries. OMG s modeling standards, including the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Model Driven Architecture (MDA), enable powerful visual design, execution and maintenance of software and other processes. OMG also hosts organizations such as the user-driven information-sharing Cloud Standards Customer Council (CSCC) and the IT industry software quality standardization group, the Consortium for IT Software Quality (CISQ). The Open Group is a global consortium that enables the achievement of business objectives through IT standards. With more than 400 member organizations, they have a diverse membership that spans various sectors of the IT community. The Open Group, among others have developed the framework and methods around TOGAF. IEEE - The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE, read I-Triple-E) is a professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence. IEEE's Constitution defines the purposes of the organization as "scientific and educational. In pursuing these goals, the IEEE serves as a major publisher of scientific journals and organizer of conferences, workshops, and symposia (many of which have associated published proceedings). It is also a leading standards development organization for the development of industrial standards (having developed over 900 active industry technical standards) in a broad range of disciplines. What makes LEADing Practice Unique? There are many distinguishing differences between LEADing Practice Enterprise Standards and the traditional standards or even frameworks, methods and approaches. Some of these differences are: Since 2004, the Global University Alliance, a consortium of +300 Universities has been dedicated to collaborating on research, analysis and the development of standards, best practices, leading practices, as well as to develop missing practices in the fields of Enterprise Modelling, Enterprise Engineering and Enterprise Architecture. LEADing Practice connects academics to applied hands-on working experience, creating standards that can be reused by other organizations. Community Open Source Standards: With our university background, our principle remains that of collaborative knowledge sharing and gaining. Hence, LEADing Practice is a community- driven open source standard and is 100% free requires no license or maintenance effort for anybody who is part of the community. There are absolutely no hidden license or maintenance fees. Agnostic and vendor neutral: he standards are both agnostic and vendor neutral. Having no paying members, we are free of the political or vendor-driven agenda, unlike most standard committee bodies. The standards are not defined by vendors, but apply by them. Industry Standard Committee: With the wide industry adoption, each industry has a dedicated International Industry Standard Committee dedicated to align research, analysis and develop best practice, leading practices and missing practices with the w w w.leadingpractice.c om 18

19 consensus of the industry experts agreeing on standards based on common and repeatable patterns that can be reused, replicated and implemented by the peers in the industry. Thereby ensuring that the Industry Standard Committee can only agree on correct modelling, engineering and/or architecture principles. Developed by Practitioners for Practitioners: Making the entire industry standards not a theoretical discussion, but a hands-on way of thinking, working and modelling to identify, create and realize the needed performance and value. An essential part of our cross- disciplinary role concept, each standard has not only been developed for the specific areas and roles, but for all the different role-types of enterprise modelling experts such as strategists, business analysts, process professionals, service experts as well as value engineers, quality engineers as well as architects within that field. Linking strategy with operational execution: The standards are interconnecting and link directly to strategy and the critical success factors. Other researched standards as well as frameworks and methods are either domain-specific, or work only vertically within the area specified (within structure). LEADing Practice industry standards works horizontally and interlinks to the strategic business objectives and critical success factors with operational execution and performance measures to demonstrate the business value of enterprise architecture. Interconnected and integrated standards: All industry standards are fully interconnect and integrated in frameworks, methods and approaches with supporting templates (maps, matrices & models) and accelerators (content), including semantic relations as well as meta models (object groups, meta objects) and architecture rules. In order to ensure integrated and interlinked standards, the concept of engineering and architecture decomposition and composition is built into all industry standards. Integrate with other frameworks, methods and approaches: Our industry standards integrate to the modelling, engineering and architecture principles to other existing frameworks, methods and approaches such as ITIL, COBIT, TOGAF, Zachman, ASAP, Oracle AIM, BPMN, etc. Leveraging the Reference Content from the other standards ensures value identification, creation and realization in all of the industry standards disciplines. Works in Layers: The industry standards work in layers, not only in domains. The most notable difference is the concept of building and structuring objects within a framework, methods and/or approaches. The interconnected layers of Business (business competencies, processes, services and value), Application (application and data) and Technology (platform and infrastructure). ensure modelling experts, engineers and architects can fully interlink all the other various domains involved. Built-in continuous improvement approach: With certified practitioners, the industry standards have a fully integrated built-in continuous improvement approach. Each practitioner is taking an active part of the feedback loop to improve current aspects, suggesting new aspects, adding artifacts and contribute to shape new ways of linking different industry requirements with how to further develop the industry standards more effectively and efficiently. w w w.leadingpractice.c om 19
