Abstract :
The complex business processes of modern enterprises require extensive modeling efforts, especially for the purpose of analysis and redesign. Often, the scope of modeling goes beyond the boundary of one process and captures all the processes in interrelation with each other and the business environment. In the enterprise context, the modeling activity comprises both intra-organizational and inter-organizational processes. Such extensive modeling is increasingly becoming a challenge without innovative approaches. In this paper, an innovative approach, called Collaborative, Participative, and Interactive Modeling (CPI Modeling), is discussed. As for the applicability of the approach, empirical evidence from a few case studies is also discussed in this paper. The main emphasis of CPI Modeling is on joint modeling sessions with an active collaboration and participation of the users (business process owners).
