Purpose, Goal and Topics

The main purpose of the workshop is to arrange discussions on using a socio-technical perspective in organizational system development, the long term goal being to make this workshop a meeting place for the community of researchers and practitioners interested in the socio-technical approach.

Following this purpose, we only devote part of the workshop to presentations with the remainder of the time being designated for collaborative work. This year we again follow the practice which was first introduced at STPIS’17 and we will be working on a real case from the local industry (report on the first business case). A summary of the proposed business case will be available here shortly.
