Research subject Business Process Management and Enterprise Modelling

How can information technology support organisational needs? Various aspects of business and IT alignment are studied to develop innovative and sustainable solutions.

Enterprise Modelling deals with goals, rules, actors, processes and information system requirements in an integrated way. A key aspect is to consolidate various stakeholder views into an enterprise model. We work with knowledge development, requirements engineering and capability management.

Enterprise Modelling can be used to discover and analyse organisational problems, develop strategy, align socio-technical systems, manage risk, and to innovate ongoing businesses. Our research is applied in industry sectors such as health care, education, business consulting, tourism, energy and automotive.

Research in Business Process Management focuses on process language analysis, methods for business process design, social software for process management, process and workflow patterns, and open-source implementations of process languages. This is applied in for example public e-services, process mining and health care.
