Abstract

Collaborative usage and development of models is an interesting challenge for modern organizations. While models play a decisive role in the planning, analytics and execution of many processes, active involvement of people other than modeling experts in creating or using models beyond providing information and being queried about the fit of models to their work is rare in practice. This article creates a context for collaborative model usage and development by describing its benefits, its origins and existing work on the topic. It also presents a taxonomy of existing approaches to support collaborative model usage and development and elaborates on research needs and challenges to be overcome in order to establish it as common practice in organizations. It then builds a bridge to the three contributions in this Special Issue, which describe cutting edge and unique research on these needs and challenges.
