Synopsis
This book combines three concepts from computer science to create a taxonomy of processes: decomposition, specialization, and dependencies. A process decomposition can be achieved by listing the "steps" or "activities" needed to complete the overall process, and is a universal aspect of any method of process description. The specialization of processes suggests that elements of the taxonomy are intended for a purpose, and an important property of this kind of taxonomic representation is that each element inherits features from its parents. An important aspect of this book is the representation of dependencies between the parts of a process, which are an important kind of relationship between steps because they imply the need for coordination and constraints on the ways in which a process may be re-designed. The author describes how this grammatical model can be used to generate new designs for organizational processes.
