When Research Meets Practice: Tangible Business Process Modeling at Work

We have created a modeling approach used by people in organizations to create and discuss business process models that represent their working procedures. This is an alternative to established approaches in which process modeling experts create business process models for the organization based on input from domain experts. We have changed this by empowering the domain experts to model their business processes themselves. This approach consists of a simple to use haptic toolset and the facilitation for its application.
