The JPMorgan Chase & Co. 2009 Spring Speaker Series at Syracuse University
continues on Thursday, April 9, with Juhnyoung Lee of the IBM Corp.
Lee will speak on the topic of "Business Transformation Workbench: The
Fundamental Things Apply" at 2 p.m. in the Katzer Collaboratory,
Room 347 of Hinds Hall. The lecture is open to the public.
Business Transformation Workbench is a productivity tool for business consultants to
analyze business performance, to identify transformation opportunities and to assess
the business value of specific transformation initiatives. The tool helps visualize the
linkages of various enterprise models, such as the business component model (CBM),
the business process model, the value driver model, the organization model, the IT
application model and the solution model. It captures the direct linkages between
these models and infers and presents the indirect linkages, thereby providing
valuable insight on how changing one aspect of an enterprise impacts the others
qualitatively.
Lee is a research staff member in the Business Informatics group at IBM's T.J. Watson
Research Center in New York. He received bachelor's and master's degrees in
computer science from Seoul National University and a Ph.D. in computer science
from the University of Virginia.
Since joining IBM Research in 1997, Lee has worked on e-commerce intelligence,
electronic marketplaces, decision support systems, semantic Web technologies and
ontology management systems. Before joining IBM, he was a researcher at Los
Alamos National Lab in New Mexico and at Lexis-Nexis in Ohio. His current
research interests include service engineering and management, business and IT
modeling, and model-driven business transformation.
