Preliminary Conference Program

Podium Discussion: The Meaning of Service in the Age of Digital Transformation

Wednesday, July 12, 2017 | 14:00 - 15:30

The panel discussion deals with the observation that the real and digital world will increasingly converge. The discussion’s primary concern are questions that arise around the concept of Service in the digital transformation.

In the context of a holistic digitalization approach, the focus extends beyond human-centricity to the interconnection of ICT with goods (e.g. 'Internet of Things', 'Cyber-Physical Systems'), making comprehensive Service Engineering necessary. The results, mostly complex distributed ecosystems, must employ Value Co-Creation to generate mutual benefits for stakeholders in a world of disruptive technologies.

The complexity and diversity of this theme will be discussed by the panellists based on the Service Stack.

Keynote: Co-creating a Disruptive Future

Wednesday, July 12, 2017 | 09:30 - 10:30

Abstract

The future is becoming far more difficult to foresee. In Fujitsu’s global survey, 75% of business leaders say that their sectors will fundamentally change in the next 5 years. Digital technologies such as IoT and AI are being embedded in the core of business and society, bringing about tremendous transformation. This is digital disruption. Now, you have to ask yourself what your disruptive vision of the future is and how you realize it.
In this keynote, Yoshikuni Takashige, visionary architect of Fujitsu, will talk about co-creating a disruptive future, levering digital technology. Fujitsu calls this “Digital Co-creation”, and believes it will be a new business norm. It means blending business expertise and digital technology to co-create innovative value which people (end-users) want between multiple enterprises, public organizations and even people themselves. As a result, the existing borders of enterprises as well as industries are being blurred. We are seeing the emergence of new digitally connected ecosystems, which co-create value for people, such as mobility and well-beings, instead of supplying industrialized products and services. Yoshikuni will explain about why Digital Co-creation is necessary, how organizations can realize it, what Fujitsu can offer, and where Digital Co-creation will take all of us to. You will find the beginning of a new Digital Society.

Speaker

Yoshikuni Takashige is Vice President of Marketing Strategy and Vision at Fujitsu Limited. Yoshikuni Takashige joined Fujitsu in 1984. He was engaged in international business, taking strong leadership in developing Fujitsu’s important strategic partnerships and joint ventures with global companies. Throughout his 33-year career, he has been exposed to many different people, businesses and cultures around the world, which has helped him shape his unique thought. Since 2012, he has been leading the creation of Fujitsu Technology and Service Vision, which sets out Fujitsu’s vision and its thinking on how organizations can innovate by leveraging digital technologies. Currently, Yoshikuni is responsible for Fujitsu’s mid- to long-term marketing strategy and vision. He speaks about innovations internationally.
He received MBA from the Johnson Graduate School of Management, Cornell University, and Bachelor of Laws from the University of Tokyo.

Keynote: Building Trust with Partners for Value Co-Creation in Service Systems

Thursday, July 13, 2017 | 08:30 - 09:30

Abstract

Building up trust with partners is essential for value co-creation in service systems. ICT service providers can obtain trust from them with promises - providing robust ICT systems as service delivery platform, maintaining consistency between ICT investments and business strategies, and enhancing accountability to shareholders. Hence, the ICT service providers should always consider the four viewpoints comprehensively: (1) quality and safety, (2) information security, (3) partners’ compliances with laws and regulations, and (4) auditability and transparency for service systems. The presentation demonstrates the viewpoints can be strengthened with our approaches; a standardized management framework, milestones of midterm improvement plan, and security policies. Our management standard, Global Service Management Standard, carries a vital role for this enhancement. It provides common protocols between NEC and partners, and guarantee the quality of delivered ICT services. The standards can be adapted to emerging requirements for trustworthy ICT systems for ‘cloud’ services, assuring unified authentication including ISO/IEC 20000 and ISO/IEC 27001.

Speaker

Mr. Mio Shimizu is a principal strategist for services at NEC Corporation.

Keynote: Service as Intersubjective Struggle: A Study of Sushi

Friday, July 14, 2017 | 08:30 - 09:30

Abstract

A unique theoretical perspective on service is proposed: Service is as much an intersubjective struggle in which individuals seek to prove themselves and obtain recognition from others as the subjective process by which needs are filled, problems are solved and customers are satisfied. When service is co-produced and value is co-created, customers and providers are all implicated in the service. We can no longer assume the separation of object and subject, i.e., a customer, subject, who is experiencing and valuing the service, object. Instead, we need to ground our theorizing thoroughly on the intersubjectivity of service?how each person presents himself or herself to each other. Empirical data of customer-provider interactions at sushi bars in Tokyo are presented to demonstrate this intersubjective perspective.

Speaker

Tutorial: Semantic-based Modeling for Services using the SeMFIS Platform

Friday, July 14, 2017 | 10:00 - 13:00

About

The goal of this tutorial is to provide an introduction to the area of semantic-based modeling and the SeMFIS platform. At its core, semantic-based modeling characterizes the use of semi-formal conceptual models together with formal semantic schemata such as ontologies, thesauri or controlled vocabularies. The tutorial will enable participants to understand the theoretical and practical foundations for applying semantic-based modeling to the design and analysis of information systems. In particular it will be reverted to the ADOxx-based SeMFIS platform that constitutes a flexible engineering platform for realizing semantic annotations of conceptual models and that is provided for free via the Open Models Initiative. The approach will be illustrated with previous applications for services in semantic business process management, semantic-based simulation and semantic visualization of enterprise models.
