Process Modeling in the 21 st Century Jan Recker

Problem is, though, the picture of where we are right now in terms of business process modeling is very lopsided. Most organizations have at least started BPM initiatives, but some are still blueprinting their processes on brown paper while others are building up sophisticated model repositories comprising thousands of process models in different variants and releases. Quite diverse, I’d say. On the other hand, countless academic proposals emerge for the next generation of Business Process Management, defining and providing means to measure different stages of BPM maturity, proposing governance structures for business processes, developing processaware information systems, and so on and so forth.
