1 Developing a Maturity Assessment Model for IT-Supported Energy Management Christian Manthey, Thomas Pietsch IMBC

2 Agenda Project ReMo Green Motivation Methodology Maturity Models (ITPM 3 ) Outlook

3 ReMo Green Reference Models for Energy Efficiency Transdisciplinary research project Branch-specific networks of SMEs Energy management / efficiency Development of software solution Add-on : Maturity model for IT-supprted energy management

4 You can t manage what you don t measure handle your measures (data) with IT / IS! Energy efficiency / management software Monitor, control, report consumption Plan, execute and evaluate efficiency measures Benchmarking options Network approach Branch-specific Common processes Reference model + software expandable Source: own research, IMBC

5 Motivation: Current challenges for CEMIS Lack of transfer into practice (transdisciplinarity) 2 Lack of proactivity 1,2 Lack of integrated solutions Strategic / tactical vs. operational level 2,3 ERP Systems 1,2,3 Sustainability 1,2,3 Consequence: Lack of CEMIS Implementations 1,2 1 (Loos et al. 2011) 2 (Junker et al. 2011) 3 (Möller & Schaltegger 2012) 4 (Teuteberg & Straußberg 2009) Potential for economic-ecological improvements unexplored 1,2,4

6 Approach: Development of a Maturity Model Proactive and transdisciplinary approach Benefit and goal: Integration Different levels of decision-making IT-Systems (ERP? Other IS?) Production processes + business processes Focus on Green Business Process Management The Role of BPM in IS-enabled Sustainability Initiatives (Seidel & Recker 2011) Support energy management by analyzing, assessing and improving business processes

7 Idea: Process Assessments + Improvements using Process Maturity Models Assessment of internal business processes Under investigation: IT-supported energy management) Standardized procedures :questionnaires, checklists Derive maturity levels and correspondings dimensions Where to start? (EM? Organization? Technological / IS?) What kind of improvements? (e.g. low hanging fruits?) Goal: economic-ecological optimization Less effort by improved or optimized processes (by use of software?) Continous improvement process (ISO / 50001)

8 Example Maturity Model: ITPM³ (Becker et al. 2009)

9 Procedure Model (I): Developing Maturity Models (Becker et al. 2009)

10 Procedure Model (II): Developing Maturity Models (Becker et al. 2009)

11 Methodology Design science approach Literature review: re-use of existing components of other models? Interviews: (energy management consultants) Case studies in SMEs

12 Outlook / To Do Definition of maturity dimensions Functional (e.g. energy management ISO 50001) Organizational (operational to strategic level) Technical IS / IT-integration Define attributes and questionnaires Link to maturity levels Execute process model (Becker et al. 2009)

13 Wrap-up Increasing demand for energy management in SMEs Lack of time and know-how Source of a high share of production + information Maturity model for IT-supported energy management For more transdisciplinary For proactive environmental management Combination of economic and ecological benefits Energy management as starting point for environmental management through the back door
