Organizational Value of Business Process Modeling

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Quality in Business Process Modeling

Abstract

Many traditional applications of modeling are limited to one usage area. On the other hand, as also indicated in Chap. 1 and discussed relative to the case studies presented in Chap. 4, the fuller long-term effects of modeling in and across organizations can be observed when one uses models over a longer period of time, or across various usage areas. To better understand this, in this chapter we present a framework for ensuring the organizational value of process modeling, herein avoiding some of the potential pitfalls of model reuse.
