A roadmap to risk-aware business process management

The continuous, effective and efficient performance of business processes is the central element for entrepreneurial success. In order to achieve the abovementioned goal various disciplines are involved: The improvement from an economical viewpoint is mainly performed by the domain of business process management, whereas the consideration of risks and continuous execution of business processes is considered separately by risk management and business continuity management. We observed that this separation often leads to inefficiencies as decisions can be contradictory and a consistent information basis is missing. Therefore, we introduce our vision of risk-aware business process management that is capable of providing information for economic as well as for security disciplines.
