N2 - Thegoal of the ProcessHandbook project is to providea set of theories, methodologies, and tools, to enablethe modeling and redesign of organizations in a more systematic way. A key element of the workis a novel approachto representingprocesses, whichuses ideas from computer science about inheritance, and from coordination theory about managingdependencies. This representation improves understanding of complex processes, assists in the identification of process inefficiencies, andfacilitates generationandcomparative evaluationof alternative processes.Wehavebuilt an online Process Handbookcomputer tool based on our approach,to represent, store, classify and manipulate business processes. Usingthat tool, wehave developed the beginningsof a systematicdesign methodfor process (re)design.
