Abstract

In this paper we investigate the use in practice of the VISI standard. The goal of the VISI standard is to arrange the cooperation of the parties in construction projects. Application of the VISI standard is not without troubles. The VISI standard is based on the DEMO methodology. We used the Hevner Three Cycle View and Sein’s ADR to understand what and we used interviewing and process mining to understand how the development and use of VISI has been. We conclude that an overall cycle over the three cycle view is necessary to see that the right process is followed in using scientific knowledge to design artifacts that solve practical problems.
