“…Other cycles similar to Popper's have also been proposed, for example, SECI (Nonaka 1994;Nonaka and Takeuchi 1995), single and double loop learning (reviewed by Blackman, Connelly and Henderson 2004) or the knowledge life cycle (Firestone and McElroy 2003a). Because of its similarities to Popper's representation of the evolutionary theory of knowledge and the severe testing it has received in real-world conflicts (Mutch 2006), we find Boyd's (1976Boyd's ( -1996 observe-orient-decide-act (OODA) cycle (Angerman 2004;Grant and Kooter 2004;Hall 2003Hall , 2005Hall , 2006aMartin, Philp and Hall 2009;Philp and Martin 2009;Richards 2008) (see Figure 6.4) is suited to the discussion here.…”

“…What is needed is not a process of reaching 'shared or consensual truths' about a research domain's knowledge base, nor should decisions be made on the traditional hierarchical expression of power. Rather, the review process (and the role of the reviewer in the process) is to test knowledge claims against the real world (W1) and ensure that decisions reflect agreed views about what will deal with real problems-until something else more pragmatically beneficial emerges (Firestone and McElroy 2003a). Ideally, reviewers, editors or those authorised to approve formal knowledge claims, such as technical committee chairpersons, should learn to make their observations taking into account multiple perspectives, to have their own underlying assumptions continuously tested (Firestone and McElroy 2003b), and to share this learning throughout any knowledge-system network.…”

“…We contend that this review of common knowledge is a knowledge quality-assurance process (Vines and Naismith 2002). Through such review processes, understandings and agreements are reached about the degree to which knowledge claims can be used to solve real-world problems (Firestone andMcElroy 2003a, 2003b). Such agreements can be struck in a range of different contexts, including, for example, through staff supervision, formal research projects, formal committee structures or the journal publishing peer-review mechanism.…”

“…It may take the form of data, information, results, or know-how, because of its dependence on sources: people, profession, activity and memory end-use. Firestone (2001) quotes Davenport (1994) who defines Knowledge Management as "Processes of capturing, distributing, and effectively using knowledge." As expressed by Davenport, the main aim is to reuse knowledge for activity improvement, new knowledge development, and avoid past mistakes.…”

Residents' usages and behavior play a determining role in the variability of the energy consumption and environmental impact of residential buildings during their use-phase. At present, however, they are inadequately documented and understood, as well as being highly variable. In this paper, we propose a use-phase memory model for residential buildings, whose aim is to store energy consumption and usage patterns. This storage can be done automatically or voluntarily. We give examples of useful information extracted from the data captured. The objective of this data analysis and synthesis is to provide building experts two specific use-cases: designing a new sustainable building, and renovating an existing one. Our model is deployed on a residential building, integrating the beneficial services for all stakeholders to demonstrate a sustainable relationship between designers, the residential building and the users.

S-BPM in the Production Industry

This chapter frames the developments described in this book and gives an overview of its structure. The background is provided with respect to the difficulties of introducing innovation on technical and organization level in well-established fields such as production industry. The nature of disruptiveness is explained in light of the applied subject-oriented modelling and execution approach. Thereby, disruptiveness motivates the process that guided the developments, both on the conceptual layer, and in practice, aiming to establish stakeholders as informed work place and process designers.New digital technologies start changing production processes substantially. Self-controlled vehicles, additive manufacturing, and semantic technologies open up opportunities in business operation, which industry has never experienced so far. Although in the industrialized countries labour force has increased due to such possibilities so far, this time the role of all stakeholders needs to be revisited due to the disruptive nature of technologies and their exponential rate penetrating the market.In "The Innovator's Dilemma" Christensen (1997) has analyzed how companies can be blindsided by high-end products from competing organizations. In "The Innovator's Solution" Christensen et al. (2003a) reveal how organizations can create disruptions themselves rather than being blindsided by them. "Disruptive innovations do not attempt to bring better products to established customers in
