Blurb

“This book could well be the most comprehensive collection to date of integrated ideas on the elicitation, representation, integration and digitization of work processes and collaboration. The authors take a heavily human-centered approach while never losing sight of engineering aspects involved. Rooted in relevant theories, they present a set of practice-oriented tools and methods that will help bring work and work support into the hyper connected, data-driven era we are now entering."

Stijn Hoppenbrouwers, Professor, HAN University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands and Radboud University, the Netherlands
