Processes in Practice: A Process is Not Just a Flow Chart (or a BPMN Model)
In his Column this month, Rob Davis argues that creating process drawings using a graphical design tool is not adequate for designing any serious business processes. He believes that to ensure effective business performance, organizations need a process modeling tool that enables the process professional to create multiple models. Read his Column for details of what such a tool should look like and the benefits it would bring to the design of an organization`s business processes.
