Methodology and visualisation<\/h3>\n

One goal of the project was to visualize and analyse the competences in the transport sector, and thus be able to compare organizational and process structures cross-border. As a comprehensive ad-hoc mapping of all relevant structures and processes was way too complex, we used a two-stage approach.<\/p>\n

In the first step common processes (e.g. planning and construction of a motorway) were recorded. The necessary information was gathered via online research and personal interviews with relevant stakeholders. These processes were visualized in a swimlane-chart, where separate process steps (or rather competences) are laid out on a horizontal axis in their chronological order, while they are vertically filed under the responsible organisations and departments (in so called \u201cswimlanes\u201d).<\/p>\n

In the second step the previously identified departments with their competences structured according to their superior organisations \u2013 thus creating the \u201ccompetence map\u201d.<\/p>\n

As the competences were color-coded (according to the processes) in their hierarchies and responsibilities (federal government, regional government, local government, other) a cross-border comparison is possible at a quick glance.<\/p>\n
