Abstract:
If the organizational model was a trustworthy and updated representation of the organizations, in all of its aspects and perspectives, it could be permanently used as support base to most operational and management tasks, using all its capacities for capturing, representing and distributing organizational knowledge. However, the use of this model is normally restricted in time in order to support some organizational activities, instead of being a solid foundation to support the organizational daily activities acting as an organizational knowledge repository. This is a result of the difficulty to maintain the model updated and aligned with the reality. The research in Organizational Engineering is already mature in defining modeling artefacts, modelling languages and the necessary views to adequate the model to the users, promoting its usage in a continuous baseline. This paper propose a process to maintain the As-Is Organizational Model updated. The strategy presented considers the o
rganizational model as a representation of the organizational conscience, continuously aligned with the reality.
