Welcome to the website of FACETE, a workshop held at PoEM conference that focuses on the role of capabilities and aims to bring together academics and practitioners who are passionate about growing the research field and forging collaborations.

The workshop in a nutshell

Held for the first time in 2023, the International Workshop on the Foundations and Applications of Capabilities in Enterprises, and Transformations and ESG Initiatives seeks to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of capability mapping, a pivotal tool in Enterprise Architecture and transformations. The workshop aims to consolidate divergent perspectives on the scientific foundations of capability mapping, including its ontology, meta-models, and notations, and seeks empirical studies into its practical applications, notably in strategic and digital transformations and ESG initiatives. Accepted contributions will be the basis for active, discussion-oriented sessions, fostering collaborative research and constructive discourse. The workshop's ultimate goal is to strengthen the academic underpinning of capability mapping and broaden (and improve) its practical applications. In order to realize this, the workshop will continue to extend the call for contributions towards practitioners. With a keen focus on open discussions and practical presentations, it aims to foster a vibrant community committed to defining, understanding, and applying capability mapping in various contexts.

​

"Research and practice alike have shown the level of adoption and the value of capability-based analyses and management. In order to progress this field, it would be of great value if academics can collaborate to build a stronger foundation for this practice and practitioners find a way to apply new and improved methods. If you feel like you can contribute to this cause, make sure to join our workshop" Jonas
