ABSTRACT:
A computer implemented method and system for comparative analysis of business processes, in particular for process maturity evaluation. A process vitality index (PVI) is mapped onto a binary decision tree that provides unambiguous, YES/NO questions at its nodes. A user is guided by these questions. The tree provides the minimum required steps for an evaluation based on common process characteristics. At least two of the nodes of the binary decision tree are interlinked in view of interdependencies between categories to enforce specific YES/NO inputs and thus provide an automated consistency check at each node.
