Very good then.
So now we are actually going to talk about how process models and conceptual models are related and
how you usually do them in conjunction.
So I've talked about this a number of times, that you have the key concepts and the conceptual diagrams
and maps which are showing structural things, how consubstantial relate to each other.
And then you probably need a different description of a business, for example, where you show how
it's behaving all the time and they usually do in a process diagram and maybe in state diagrams and
so on.
But how are these types of models related to each other?
So it's a little bit of a hand in an egg situation here.
So which of them do you do first?
And I will say it's it's a very iterative process, but in some sense, you really need some conceptual
understanding to even start talking about the process.
But but it's also the other way around.
So think about scheiße.
You can think about Scheiße as a concept structurally and say that ski skis or something that you put
on your that you have on your feet skis is related to the supposed to be supposed to be on snow and
so on.
So you can talk about skis structurally, but you wouldn't understand the concept of his skis if you
didn't know about skiing as an activity.
So they are very much into wine, of course.
So they're very much dependent on each other.
But let's take a concrete example here.
So let's say that you need some preexisting core to be able to understand what a trial is about.
So you need to understand that a trial is something we do to have justice.
And you have a judge in a trial and maybe a defendant.
So let's say that this is your core understanding.
Then someone is starting telling you a story about a process or how a trial is run, and then you will
start using that pre-existing core building up new concept as you go along.
So you start hearing about hearing about that is something called a sentence that is given during the
trial.
There's a prosecutor in the trial, those jury members in the trial, and there is a defense attorney
and so on.
So there is a couple of the the conceptual model is building up when you are building your process model
and discussing your process more.
So hence the process, mapping and concept mapping are often to activities are done more or less in
parallel.
When you are defining either you're doing an assist description of the business or you actually describing
a completely new business or a startup or a new product or new service and the equally important and
very dependent on each other.
So let's take the example here.
So let's say the trial starts.
We take the trial example again.
Yeah.
So then we need to understand about able to understand that a trial starts.
We need to understand what a trial is that we have a judge, jury, prosecuting defendant, maybe the
key roles here, they find a trial.
Then we in the process will say that we have an opening statement and the opening statement will stop.
I don't have that in my conceptual model here.
I need to tie that in.
OK, so there is something called the prosecutor's opening statement and something called a defendant's
opening statement.
And that is actually given by the defense attorney.
Then we have the prosecutor's case.
OK, so the prosecutor is actually then giving their case, their view on this and then we have the
presentation of evidence.
So, OK, then we have something called evidence that connected to the trial.
And it's the prosecutor that is presenting the evidence.
Then we have the defendant's case.
So then the defendant is actually the defense attorney will give their view and take on this.
And then we have a prosecutor's rebuttal case.
So then it's time for the prosecutor again to have yet another rebuttal case.
So you see here that the conceptual model is building up.
As long as we understand the in the step when we understand the process more and more.
So then we have the closing arguments.
So here again, it's a new concept.
So we have both the closing arguments of the prosecutor and the closing argument are the defense attorney.
And then we have that the jury is instructed to do the jury work.
So the judge is giving the jury an instruction and then they do what is called deliberations and they
come with which is the so the jury members in the jury is doing the deliberation here and then they
come with a verdict.
So then the jury comes with the verdict and the trial is.
Having a verdict and then it is resulting in the sentence for the defendant could result in a sentence
for the defendant.
So here you see that your knowledge about the conceptual domain is building up in parallel with you,
working with understanding the process here.
And this is, of course, also directly related to when I talked about story storytelling.
And that's how you kind of do the concept modeling exercise.
So you could in parallel be working with process money and concept modeling at the same time here.
Very good.
So that was very short, just notice about how process models and concept models coevolved.
Now, I'm going to talk about a little bit of a specific thing that I have in mind when you are creating
models, which I call the generic specific sweet spot.
So that's the next lecture.
