Corporate Information Network (COIN): The Fraunhofer IESE Experience Factory
Abstract
Experience-based continuous learning is essential for improving products, processes, and technologies in emerging as well as established areas of business and engineering science. It can be facilitated by case-based organizational learning, meaning that relevant experience is captured in the form of cases for reuse in a corporate experience repository. For obvious reasons, learning from experience needs to be a permanent endeavor. Thus, an organization has to handle a continuous stream of experience. For this purpose, an Experience Factory was established at Fraunhofer IESE, with the COIN initiative. The objectives of COIN are to provide users with valuable information/knowledge at the right time, in an adequate representation, and within the actual context (just-in-time).
