Abstract: “Amongst other advantages, Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering (GORE) methods facilitate the process of requirements elicitation and analysis, yet little is known about, e.g. the underlying paradigm relating goals to the structure and processes of the organisation. In this paper we postulate that since goals are inherently part of any organisation, and an information system aims to achieve specific organisational objectives, these ought to address a subset of goals that embody the main objectives of the organization or those that may be derived from them. The systemic paradigm has contributed much to enterprise architecting and modeling, both being vital inputs to goals and requirements elicitation. An enterprise architecture is, however, not readily available since its construction may be a costly exercise. In contrast, an enterprise organogram, which depicts a holistic view of the enterprise, may be easier to build. This paper proposes guidelines to exploit organograms to facilitat”
