Abstract

This paper examines preliminary work applying contemporary design theory and methodology research concepts to Business Process Modeling (BPM). BPM practitioners have expressed difficulty in sharing BPM concepts with clients, and getting salient feedback from clients. Through the application of design prototyping frameworks and methods, the authors developed an extension to BPM, called Tangible Business Process Modeling (TBPM), in order to resolve these difficulties.

Keywords: Process Modeling, Structured Interviews, Media-Models, BPMN, TBPM
