Call For Papers
HICSS-58 Minitack: Data and Analytics Driven Digital Transformation in Organizations and Society
58rd Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences

January 7-10, 2025
Hilton Waikoloa Village, Big Island, Oahu, Hawai’i

Driven by data and technological advances, today’s businesses, governments, not-for-profits and other types of organizations are undergoing rapid Digital Transformation (DT). This shift is leading to major changes in their organizational structures, operating processes, value chains, and/or business models. Consequently, it is becoming clear that data and analytics are critical for effective DT, both within and beyond organizational boundaries. For example, data and analytics could be used to initiate and scope DT, enable DT, and provide means to track DT initiatives. Moreover, data and analytics enable organizations to provide data/analytics-based products and services. However, as DT initiatives are implemented with varying levels of success, the role of data and analytics extends to defining, monitoring and measuring different success indicators in ways that are still being explored.

Data and analytics are also driving DT in the wider society, resulting in new opportunities for societal value creation as well as new ethical and social justice challenges. Societal DT raises critical questions about our responsibilities in a data-intensive future, emphasizing the need for ethical data and analytics practices.

The existing research literature on data and analytics driven DT is still scarce, despite very rapid advancements in this field in practice. Consequently, there is much to investigate about the methods, maturity, and outcomes of data and analytics driven DT, as well as the capabilities and leadership needed to implement this type of DT in organizations and society. Drawing from the rich history of analytics and related research in this minitrack, we aim to pave the way to foster, future-oriented conversations about all aspects of data and analytics in DT.
This minitrack will consider papers focused on data and analytics driven DT in organizations and society, rather than DT in general. The main research contribution(s) of the submissions should be made to the field of analytics. Since this minitrack has hosted research related to Business Intelligence (BI) topics for many years, we will still welcome BI-related submissions, For example, they may focus on the role and transition of traditional BI solutions in DT, resulting, for example, in new/revised BI architecture or analytical/BI ecosystems. Papers using theory building, design research (methods and models), action research as well as analyses of existing or innovative applications are welcome. We invite papers that investigate topics which include, but are not limited to, the following:

  *
Methods and mechanisms of data and analytics driven DT in organizations and society:
     *
Architecture, reusable infrastructure, data management standards, automated composable processes, use of data fabrics, edge computing and their relation to DT
     *
Analytics types (augmented analytics, embedded AI/ML, adaptive analytics, etc.)
     *
Analytics maturity in the context of DT
     *
Data literacy, democratization and skill development for DT
     *
Data and analytics governance and organizational culture for DT
     *
Organizational and societal leadership for analytics-driven DT
     *
Traditional and modern business intelligence solutions in the age of DT
     *

  *
Organizational outcomes of data and analytics driven DT:
     *

  *
Success stories and lessons learned about data and analytics driven DT in organisations and society:

     *
Education of analytics professionals for data and analytics DT in universities and workplaces
     *
Citizen science for data and analytics driven DT
     *
New challenges and opportunities for working and living in the age of perpetual data and analytics driven DT
     *
