Abstract
Subject-oriented Business Process Management (S-BPM) has been used in organizational and workflow development projects for several years. While the methodological support for the development process is important, the success of a project taking the subject-driven approach to organizational deployment also depends on the tool. The tool requires a set of key features, in particular an appropriate level of abstraction for behavior modeling, the representation of work-relevant relations among stakeholders, and the straightforward execution of business process specifications for participatory organization design. In this paper we analyze Metasonic, the most prominent tool for S-BPM, with respect to effective organizational change and interactive workflow design support. Metasonic integrates various BPM modeling constructs, and is suitable for the construction of stakeholder-oriented models and the subsequent deployment of business processes. However, the underlying organizational development activities should become more transparent when utilizing the tool features.
