Enterprise modeling is a daunting task to be carried out from a single perspective. A challenge to this whole complexity is conflicting descriptions given by different actors when business processes are documented. Often enterprise modeling takes rounds of iterations and clarification before the models are verified and validated. In order to expedite the modeling process and validity of the models, in this paper we propose an approach called collaborative, participative, and interactive modeling (CPI Modeling). The main objective of the CPI approach is to furnish an extended participation of actors that have valuable insight into the enterprise operations and business processes. Achieving this goal with any modeling method and language could be quite challenging. For CPI Modeling to succeed the modeling method should adhere to certain qualities. Next to the CPI Modeling approach, this paper discusses an enterprise modeling method that is simple, and yet powerful to capture intricate en...
