Abstract
Group model building is nascent the latest years. However, only few educational institutions offer professional education and research in the field. Furthermore, detailed empirical litera-ture about group model building is rather rare. Hence, this paper will serve two purposes connected to group model building.
First, it will document and critically reflect upon a group model session and derive lessons learned. Second, it will create a group model building framework that is, on the one hand, based on existing streams of research and, on the other hand, integrates new elements derived from the lessons of the performed group model building session. The result is a framework that includes context and stakeholder analysis as basic preparation tools for a group model building project. In the more modeling session oriented stages, the approaches of Vennix and Andersen et al. are integrated. The paper contributes to increase the publicly available documentations about group model building sessions and provides a more comprehensive framework for the conductions of GMB-sessions.
