The document discusses mapping models of understanding from the Global Bike case study (GBI) to models of execution using the LEAD frameworks.
It provides an overview of how GBI teaches both understanding and execution of ERP systems using ARIS and SAP tools. It then examines how to derive models of execution from existing GBI case studies to better integrate strategic planning and continuous improvement.
The document explores mapping GBI meta objects to LEAD frameworks to improve understanding. It provides examples of mapping objects between the business, process, application and data layers of GBI and LEAD. This mapping allows online navigation between the three layers of LEAD and GBI's enterprise model using ARIS Business Publisher.

2. Agenda
Situation: Teaching “Understanding” and/or
“Execution” of ERP
Complication : How to derive Models of Execution
from existing ERP Case Studies at Global Bike
Incorporated?
Leading Question: Is Mapping of Models of
Understanding at GBI with LEAD Frameworks
possible?
Answer :Check ARIS Prototype for Online Mapping
LEAD and GBI Meta Objects !
Conclusion
Outlook
3. Situation : Teaching ERP at German Universities
> 90 % of German Universities teach ERP (Focus Process Execution of SAP) *
> 70 % of German Universities teach Process Design (Focus ARIS)
< 30 % teach entire Process Life Cycle (from Strategic Planning to Continuous
Improvement)

Over 800 universities and schools with more than 130,000 students are using SAP
University Alliances services (like GBI Case Studies) in the EMEA region supported by
the two SAP University Competence Center UCC Magdeburg and UCC Munich

7. Setup of the Model of Understanding by definition of:
1. subject-oriented models
2. process-oriented models
3. service-oriented models
4. enterprise data models
Integration of mentioned above 4 layers into a single, overall Enterprise Information Model,
for describing an IT System and its interactions with its users (Business and IT) by definition
of relations between the different Meta Objects covered (GBI Meta Model)
Challenge : Vertical Decomposition / Composition Meta Objects of each of the four IT

14. Question: Is Mapping of Models of Understanding
at GBI with LEAD Frameworks possible?
• Identifying Meta Objects of GBI for mapping with Meta
Objects of LEAD
• Assigning Business Vocabularies of GBI and LEAD
• Comparing Meta Model of GBI and LEAD
• Integrating existing GBI Enterprise Model (GBI
Curriculum and GBI Repository) into LEAD frameworks
• Online Navigation from 3 Layers of LEAD Framework to
GBI Enterprise Model using ARIS Business Publisher
• Better distinction between Business and IT (Model of
Execution) by keeping a good integration (model driven
implementation with SAP Solution Manager)
• Improving Model of Understanding at GBI

24. Mapping LEAD and GBI Meta Objects 2(2)
Statistics:
– 2 (3) layers / 6 (8) sub layers / 42 (107) meta objects (Primary Relations)
– 4 (5) Meta Object Level
– 3 (3) Meta Object Tiers : (S)trategic, (T)actical, (O)perational
– 2 (3) Meta Object Types : Management, Main, Supporting
First Conclusion:
– Meta Objects of Business (biggest fraction) and Application Layer overlap by about 60 % (Primary and
Secondary Relations of first 6 sub layers)
– GBI Process Layer dominant (BPMN covers Business Competency/ Processes/ Application/ Data Layer)
– Technology Layer not covered
– Meta Object Levels covered 80 % (applied less)
– Meta Object Tiers completely covered (applied less)
– Focus On Main and Supporting Processes
– Comparison of Meta Models : open
