Study goals
Propose a hybrid method integrating Design Science Research, Jabareen’s method, and established project management practices, creating a systematic process for developing conceptual frameworks applicable to complex organizational contexts, emphasizing adaptability, governance, and academic rigor.
Relevance / originality
Extends and integrates existing models by incorporating governance, readiness criteria, stakeholder engagement mechanisms, and lifecycle management from early stages, ensuring alignment between academic rigor and practical relevance in diverse organizational environments.
Methodology / approach
Methodological research guided by Design Science Research, adapted with Jabareen’s method, structured into six iterative phases, each with defined deliverables, readiness criteria, and governance mechanisms inspired by project management principles, ensuring coherence, control, and flexibility throughout the process.
Main results
Introduces the MetaFramework, a hybrid method organized into six interdependent phases with deliverables, readiness criteria, and governance processes enabling gradual, adaptive, and controlled application across contexts, allowing continuous adjustments and systematically incorporating learnings.
Theoretical / methodological contributions
Integrates consolidated theoretical approaches with project management practices, creating a replicable, adaptable, and manageable process for developing conceptual frameworks, strengthening the bridge between academic research and practical application.
Social / management contributions
Provides a structured and adaptive guide for implementing conceptual frameworks, enhancing organizational capacity to address complex problems, improve managerial maturity, and implement solutions in a gradual, measurable, and sustainable manner.
