The main question in this PhD thesis is: How can Business Rules Management be configured and valued in organizations? A BRM problem space framework is proposed, existing of service systems, as a solution to the BRM problems. In total 94 vendor documents and approximately 32 hours of semi-structured interviews were analyzed. This analysis revealed nine individual service systems, in casu elicitation, design, verification, validation, deployment, execution, monitor, audit, and version. In the second part of this dissertation, BRM is positioned in relation to BPM (Business Process Management) by means of a literature study. An extension study was conducted: a qualitative study on a list of business rules formulated by a consulting organization based on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission risk framework.

This report describes the validation of a "framework that delivers insight into the tangible and intangible effects of a mobile (IT) system, before it is being implemented".
This research investigates the impact of early facility management involvement on the effective utilization of building information modelling during the operation and maintenance phase. It looks at understanding the factors that encourage building owners to prioritize early facility manager engagement. This research also examined the role of facility managers when involved early in the process, including the stage in which FM should be involved, the additional knowledge and competencies to add value, the main tasks to perform and what barriers should be overcome to involve FM early. Lastly, this research defines the potential added value that early engagement has on the use of BIM in the operational phase. Recognizing that facility managers bear the ultimate responsibility for building management, this study explores how their early engagement can ensure BIM model align with operational needs, maximizing the technology’s benefits throughout a building’s lifespan. By examining the impact of early FM input, this research aims to provide actionable insights for facility managers to contribute to the BIM development process.
