Combining Collaborative Modeling with Collaborative Creativity for Process Design

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Abstract

This paper presents a solution of how systematic design within facilitated walkthrough workshops is combined with phases of non-linear ideation for the purpose of collaborative process modeling. In the context of socio-technically supported co-located meetings, three design cycles were run which led to an evolutionary improvement. The result is a set of features as part of a socio-technical solution allowing to seamlessly intertwine creative phases with walkthrough-oriented inspection and improvement of models. The set of features includes the possibility of simultaneous brainstorming on several topics, variation of prompts per brainstorming topic etc. Additional features are described to support the facilitator.
