Challenges of simulating teamwork in organizational scenarios

Today's workplace is driven by a high amount of available information and hereby the complexity of work processes increases. In this context the project AdaptPRO uses an interdisciplinary approach from business informatics and business psychology to analyze, model and simulate the concept of intentional forgetting by reorganizing roles and processes in an organizational context. Towards the vision of simulating teamwork, this paper proposes an experiment and simulation framework to model and simulate the effects of different role and process configurations in teams. Bringing both of these disciplines together can open up new opportunities for developing and understanding simulation models of human teamwork practices.
