Towards collaborative alignment of engineering networks

Abstract

This paper reports further development of competence management in engineering networks through the consolidation of two different approaches for competence management; the Innovation and Engineering Maturity Model and the Project Alignment concept. To support the proactive competence management in collaborative networks the paper proposes first, further development of the IEMM into a more dynamic and networked structure and second, extension of the project alignment concept from the temporary project level to the more continuous organization, network level. © 2012 International Federation for Information Processing.
