The Stafford Beer Medal is awarded in recognition of the most outstanding contribution to the philosophy, theory or practice of Information Systems published in the European Journal of Information Systems (EJIS) within the relevant year (2020).

The citation for the award is as follows:

Digital transformation, which is a high priority for many organizations, requires a rethinking of many business process management (BPM) principles. This paper explains three important logics of BPM that need to be re-examined, i.e., process modelling, infrastructural alignment, and procedural actor (agency) logics. For example, the shift to agile ways of working as required by digital transformation necessitates a rethinking of process modelling in BPM. The judges thought this was a well-executed ethnographic study that provides valuable counter-intuitive findings to challenge existing logics of BPM. Furthermore, this article is relevant for many organisations because the focus is broad, and the insights are actionable.

Best wishes
