Abstract
All happens through processes, and all happens in processes: Organizations work through processes, our lives unfold in processes. Processes are sequences of actions and events, which take effect over time and in context. They guide our every-day activities, and they dynamically change over time. Processes can make an impact on our society and environment.
So far, processes have been investigated from the lens of single disciplines, such as computer science, management science, organization science, engineering science or cognitive science. We cannot rely on a single discipline if we want to obtain a full picture of processes. We need to bundle and synthesize contributions, theories and methods from multiple disciplines.
Process Science shall provide the opportunity to accumulate interdisciplinary knowledge on processes in order to make a real-world impact. This talk will present the fundamentals of Process Science as a new promising field for research future forms of work in the a digital age. The talk will provide examples and outline a research agenda and it will also present important practical implications how organizations can apply and benefit from process science.

Abstract
Blockchains and Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) enable intermediary-free transaction for digital, non-copyable goods without the need to trust the other party. People, organizations and machines can enter into secure transactions and all transaction details are stored immutable and decentralized. Automated, programmable contracts can ensure contract compliance. Despite these compelling and disruptive value propositions, the adoption of public and consortium-based blockchain-based system solution outside the narrow scope of crypto finance is limited. In this talk, we identify the technical, organizational, legal and governance challenges business blockchain initiatives have to address to reach a maturity beyond a successful technical proof of concept. We hope to also provide guidance how to resolve some of these challenges.
