Abstract

Business processes should be aligned to the corporate strategy. However, implementing such a strategy in the day-to-day operations of a company is a challenging task as there is little support for holistically deriving actionable changes to business processes from a company’s strategy. This contribution proposes linking strategy maps with process models in order to close this gap. The resulting Strategy Process Map approach has been successfully applied in a case study at a large German automotive supplier.
