# Håvard D. Jørgensen

Information-systems researcher and practitioner working at the intersection of academic conceptual modelling and industrial workflow systems. Author of the *Interactive Process Models* doctoral thesis (NTNU, 2004).

## Affiliation
- Troux Technologies — senior researcher at time of 2006 paper.
- SINTEF ICT — earlier (post-1996) research scientist.
- Ph.D. (2004) and M.Sc. (1993) in Information Systems, NTNU.

## Why he matters here
- Co-author of the **revised SEQUAL framework** ([[sources/2006-krogstie-sindre-jorgensen-revised-sequal-framework]]) for active process models.
- Doctoral work (*Interactive Process Models*, 2004) developed the theoretical foundation for the **active-model** concept central to the 2006 revision: models that don't just describe reality but actively change it through enactment.
- His Krogstie & Jørgensen (2002) earlier paper on *Quality of Interactive Models* was the immediate predecessor to the 2006 revision.

## Research focus
- Flexible workflow systems
- Groupware and computer-supported cooperative work
- Knowledge management — model articulation/activation as boundary objects
