Abstract
Business processes have been widely accepted as the key factors in designing organisational structures. Tools and methods that support process design are limited to abstract design principles, general handbooks or rigid reference models and are therefore insufficient.
This paper provides a theoretical foundation for using reusable Process Building Blocks to design organisational processes. In this novel approach to Business Process Reengineering enterprises can design their processes by selecting, combining and customising Reference Process Building Blocks (RPBs) provided by a library.
RPBs represent design patterns and Best Practices for the organisational design and IT-support of business processes.
