WEBVTT 00:11.560 --> 00:12.560 OK, great. 00:13.000 --> 00:17.330 So now we're starting a new section again, now we're going to be very practical. 00:17.350 --> 00:22.350 Now we're going to talk about how we actually perform conceptual modeling exercises. 00:22.360 --> 00:24.060 How do you facilitate a workshop? 00:24.400 --> 00:26.080 How do you prepare for the workshop? 00:26.080 --> 00:27.630 How do you document it afterwards? 00:27.940 --> 00:30.070 And a lot of tricks of the trade. 00:31.750 --> 00:35.650 So this is going to be a first or would you lecture? 00:35.650 --> 00:42.460 And then we are going to have specific lectures about the different aspects of our performing, conceptual 00:42.460 --> 00:44.080 modeling, conceptual mapping. 00:45.220 --> 00:47.570 But as I said, let's get practical. 00:47.590 --> 00:53.050 So we have, up to this point, been a little bit theoretical in some of these sections. 00:53.290 --> 00:58.570 And then we have talked about the syntax of UML and that's the modeling language language that we are 00:58.570 --> 01:02.170 using for this exercise and in discourse. 01:02.440 --> 01:04.360 But now we're going to talk about how to use it. 01:04.360 --> 01:10.360 Practically producing crystal clear models is actually a craftmanship. 01:10.360 --> 01:16.090 It's nothing that you learn just by doing it once or fiddling around with some boxes and lines. 01:16.480 --> 01:23.710 It it actually takes up quite a lot of time to make the models and maps and diagrams readable and understandable 01:23.710 --> 01:24.910 by a large set of people. 01:26.050 --> 01:27.870 And hence you need to practice. 01:27.970 --> 01:32.800 So that's quite understandable. 01:32.800 --> 01:39.070 I suppose you also need a lot of tricks of the trade and kind of just so you can have up your sleeve 01:39.070 --> 01:44.900 and just pull out whatever you need if you're confronted with a specific scenario or problem situation. 01:46.570 --> 01:52.540 So some of the techniques and also areas that we're going to cover in this section is, first of all, 01:52.540 --> 01:54.010 how to prepare for a workshop. 01:54.040 --> 01:59.500 What do you need to do actually before you go into the room with a set of people doing a conceptual 01:59.500 --> 02:00.490 modelling exercise? 02:01.630 --> 02:08.560 Secondly, we're going to talk about how you usually are actually Hawaii at least usually conduct such 02:08.710 --> 02:10.260 workshops and facilitate them. 02:10.270 --> 02:12.220 I usually use a technique called storytelling. 02:12.430 --> 02:17.910 So we're going to talk about how that could be applied to conceptual analysis and conceptual modeling. 02:19.240 --> 02:25.360 Then we're going to talk about how you can use object diagrams when during the workshop to exemplify 02:25.930 --> 02:31.330 a little bit harder scenarios or more complex scenarios so that everybody could understand and also 02:31.330 --> 02:33.400 come up with a solution to a problem. 02:34.180 --> 02:40.780 We're going to talk about pattern recognition, how you can think about when you're trying to find patterns 02:40.780 --> 02:42.190 in your conceptual model. 02:42.730 --> 02:45.900 And we're going to talk about how we can utilize patterns. 02:45.910 --> 02:48.300 So there's one thing of actually finding patterns in a model. 02:48.310 --> 02:55.690 You already have started creating this huge knowledge base out there with patterns that you can utilize 02:55.690 --> 02:57.010 in your concrete models. 02:57.010 --> 02:58.690 And that's very, very powerful. 02:58.720 --> 03:05.680 We're going to talk about that and then we're going to talk about how modeling processes and behavior 03:05.680 --> 03:11.640 in an organization is related to modeling the key concepts and the structures of the organization. 03:11.950 --> 03:18.520 So we have when we talk about conceptual models, we focus on the structural aspect of how the terms 03:18.520 --> 03:22.570 and the concepts are related to each other, not time bound, so to speak. 03:22.930 --> 03:27.460 But then another very important aspect, usually on modeling and business is, of course, talking about 03:27.460 --> 03:34.630 its behavior, which you do in process models maybe, and how those two techniques related and how could 03:34.630 --> 03:38.740 they be developed and wine intertwined. 03:39.880 --> 03:42.380 And then we're going to talk about diagram composition. 03:42.400 --> 03:47.740 So once you have actually had the workshop where you need to document the result, how would you, in 03:47.740 --> 03:50.800 the best possible way view this in a diagram? 03:50.800 --> 03:56.590 And how do you compose a diagram so that it's the most readable version of this model? 03:58.660 --> 03:59.140 Very good. 03:59.470 --> 04:02.710 So basically, there's three phases of our workshop here. 04:03.190 --> 04:06.220 So it's not that you go directly into a room and then you're done. 04:06.220 --> 04:09.640 After you've been in this workshop, you need to prepare the workshop. 04:09.880 --> 04:13.390 They run the facilitate the workshop and then you need to document it. 04:15.460 --> 04:15.840 Good. 04:16.420 --> 04:18.100 That was the overview section. 04:18.220 --> 04:22.480 And now we're going to actually touch upon the first subject here, which is preparation. 04:22.480 --> 04:24.250 Our workshop will see that.
