Modellstyring

Modellstyring, often translated as model control or model-based management, refers to a systematic approach in business and IT where processes and systems are managed and governed through defined models. These models can represent various aspects, including business processes, organizational structures, data, or system architecture. The core idea is to use these explicit representations as a basis for decision-making, planning, execution, and monitoring.

By employing models, organizations can achieve greater clarity, consistency, and alignment across their operations. Models serve as a common language, facilitating communication and understanding among different stakeholders. They enable organizations to analyze the potential impact of changes before implementation, thereby reducing risks and improving efficiency. Furthermore, model-driven approaches often support automation, as processes and systems can be generated or configured directly from the models.

The application of modellstyring spans various domains, such as business process management (BPM), where process models define workflows; enterprise architecture, where models describe the structure and behavior of the organization; and software development, where models can guide code generation. Effective modellstyring requires a robust modeling language, appropriate tools for creating and managing models, and a governance framework to ensure the models remain accurate and relevant. It is a key enabler for digital transformation and continuous improvement initiatives.
