Abstract
Business processes and organizational structures are integral parts of the business architecture. In fact, they are essential when it comes to the configuration of business capabilities. Although the core business processes and structures of each enterprise are unique, they are “constructed” from typical business working practices, e.g., delegation of authority, group approval, four-eye check, etc. When these working practices are implemented in an optimal manner, this leads to less stress, less risk, higher performance, higher security, and higher predictability of results. This chapter presents typical business working practices as formalized and optimized actionable patterns (executable, proven, easy-to-deploy, and reusable working methods).
