Predicting the Future is a Science. In his strategy positioning research Prof. von Scheel has spearheaded the maturing of predicting the future into a science-driven discipline with a more precise assessment of potential outcomes. For example the foresight of the Digital and Industry 4.0 themes and the 2050 Megatrends compendium to name a few.

In collaboration with Prof. Michael Porter and Prof. Clayton Christensen his patternicity research focuses on hindsight insight foresight and oversight of the innovation and transformation capabilities of organizations in relation to their ability to adopt change capture opportunities explore strategy options and understand potential impacts. 

This is a rigorous approach based on different scenarios supported by statistical and probabilistic analysis of both internal and external drivers and forces of the megatrend archetypes across Technology Economic Regulatory Globalization Demographics Workforce Environmental and Consumer.

In their study of strategy choices Prof. von Scheel,  Prof. Mark von Rosing Neil Kemp, Ulrik Foldager and Arjan Visser pioneered Business Decision Making Notations focusing on patternicity for revenue services value cost operations performance risk and regulatory aspects across Value Chain Business Model Operation Model Capability Modeling and Enterprise Architecture. They are accredited with advancing management operational and organizational disciplines.

The Business Decision Making Notations standards are a unique set of documented rules and instructions that describe a sequence of repeatable procedures practices (best practices, industry practices, and leading practices) across business management information technology architecture modeling and engineering disciplines with step-by-step activities to achieve the desired result. Each standard contains the required descriptions categorization classification semantic relationships ontology meta-objects maps matrices and models to succeed and work across disciplines projects and roles. Together they describe the set of procedures an organization needs to follow to replicate the ability to identify create and realize value in the specified area and subject.

Prof von Scheel has studied and identified repeatable patterns of the outperformers and underperformers over the past 20 years. The most recognizable patterns are packaged as best practices (what works well), industry practices (performance patterns), leading practices (value patterns), anti-patterns (what not to do) and anomalies. His most notable work includes: Strategy Meta Models, Strategy Lifecycle, Stakeholder Map with Pain & Goal Chains. Value Chain, Business Model, Operation Model and Capability Modelling.

His work most notable contribution includes the Business Model Notation, Operating Model Notation and defining the archetypes, ontology and semantics, lifecycles of strategy, competitiveness and strategy execution. 

Some companies perform better than others and keep innovating so they grow and thrive over time. This has been true throughout the history of business. Yet until the 2010s, terms like competitive life cycle, competitive advantage, comparative advantage, hyper-competition advantage, and hyper-growth were absent from the corporate lexicon until introduced by Prof. Michael Porter, Prof. Henrik von Scheel, and Richard D’Aveni. Even today, many leaders and managers fail to grasp the fundamental concepts that shape competitive strategy, causing strategic missteps with costly results. His work most notable work includes: Competitive Meta Model, Competitive Modelling, Competitive life cycle, Future Competitiveness of the Welfare State (w Michael Porter).

Pioneering in the field of patternicity, Prof Henrik von Scheel, Arjan Visser, Neil Kemp, Jeanne W. Ross and Prof Mark von Rosing are the co-authors Business Standards. The most is the layered architecture, which is a unique set of documented rules and instructions that describe a sequence of repeatable procedures, practices (best practices, industry practices and leading practices) across the business management, information technology, architecture, modeling, and engineering disciplines with step-by-step activities to achieve the desired result.

Each contains the required descriptions, categorization, classification, semantic relationships, ontology, meta objects, maps, matrixes and models to succeed and work across disciplines, projects and roles. All together describing the set of procedures an organization needs to follow in order to replicate the ability to identify, create and realize value in the specified area and subject.

The Business Standards are a result of years of international academic research and industry expert consensus on repeatable patterns that can be reused and replicated. The Business Standards are packaged as ‘Reference Content’ and is both agnostic and vendor neutral. The standard can be founds at www.LEADingPractice.com

Pioneering in the field of patternicity, Prof Henrik von Scheel, Arjan Visser, Neil Kemp, John A Zachman, Prof. August-Wilhelm Scheer and Prof Mark von Rosing are the co-authors Business Architecture and Industry Standards. Most notable are the multiplication factor levers of patterns  for impact driven result.

A result of years of international academic research and industry expert consensus on repeatable patterns that can be reused and replicated. The standards are packaged as ‘Reference Content’ and is both agnostic and vendor neutral. They have been specifically designed to be fully tailored to and implemented by any organization both large and small regardless of its various frameworks methods approaches products services and activities. The standards are developed in the following ways:

• Research and analyze what works – again and again (Best Practices) – and discover the unique aspects applied by leading organizations (Leading Practices).
• Identify common and repeatable patterns which provide the basis for the Enterprise Standards.
• Develop ‘Reference Content’ that increase the level of reusability and replication within the disciplines of Enterprise Modelling, Enterprise Engineering and Enterprise Architecture.
• Extend with performance and value accelerators with unique aspects fromthe identified Best Practices and Leading Practices.

Each of the 153 Standard Reference Content areas are fully integrated with other frameworks, methods and approaches, such as TOGAF, META, FEAF, etc.This ensures full integration and standardization when applying the reference content into your organization, programs and/or projects, thereby having the ability to use our reference content across topics like strategy, capabilities, roles, and process, service and value aspects and technology as well as operational execution between them, creating a cross link throughout the Business, Information, and Technology layers. The standard can be founds at www.LEADingPractice.com

Together with Global University Alliance, Prof August Scheer  (father of process automation), Daniel Jones & James P. Womack (fathers of lean thinking), Prof Mark von Rosing he has evolved mainstream process thinking, approaches and standards for BPM and BPMN. He published a 3 volumes called the Complete Handbook of Business Process Management, which is part of BPM curriculum Bachelor at Universities. 

His most notable work includes:

• BPM reference content
• extended BPMN
• BPM Layered Object Modelling 
• BPM Centre of Excellence
• BPM Alignment
• BPM and Enterprise Architecture
• BPM Change Management
• BPM Lifecycle
• BPM Maturity
• BPM Industry Accelerators etc.

Prof von Scheel co-authored the method to implement SAP AG called ASAP, Accelerated SAP, SAP Agile, and SAP Rapid Deployment Solution. 80% of the Fortune 500 companies apply his work today.
