Abstract:

A company is compared to a generic company model to identify differences between the company and the generic company model. The generic company model includes a work model that describes sequences of tasks that form processes performed within a generic company and a persona model that describes generic personas in the generic company and tasks that each generic persona performs. The differences between the generic company model and the company are used to modify the generic company model to form a company-specific model.
