The Holy Grail of Business Automation
A modelling framework with multiple workbenches,
one for each stakeholder,
so that each can contribute their share in defining the business.
- To begin with, we model the Business Definition: we cannot do anything useful if we do not know what the business is all about; therefore, we model the business lifecycles precisely.
- Then we model the Business Design: we figure out how we are going to implement these lifecycles in the organisation, the processes, the people skills and the technical tools.
- Finally we model the Business Deployment: now is the time to “go concrete” and leverage what technology vendors have to offer.
To do this effectively, we need a unified and unifying set of modelling techniques.
