Method Engineering for Integrated Enterprise Balancing

Against the background of the current financial crisis and increasing compliance regulations, companies are forced to implement an integrated approach that includes not only risk management, but also e.g. compliance and value-based management. In this situation, the concept of integrated enterprise balancing (IEB) can be applied that integrates risk and return figures to support value-based management while maintaining regulatory compliance. So far, conceptual topics such as the identification of the ‘best’ risk management approach are often more important than implementation topics such as the rollout of an IEB solution into productive environment. To bridge this gap, we develop and evaluate a situational method that supports the implementation of an IEB solution. This method is comprised of 15 method fragments that support strategic, organizational, cultural, and technical rollout aspects. Furthermore, method configurations are specified that identify only those method fragments that are relevant for certain roles, e.g. project manager or process owner.
