More on BPM and OO

Keith Harrison-Broninski starts to ask in his blog why process modelling is based on a series of activities rather than business objects. He believes that we need an additional object based modelling layer for high level objects and their interactions.

I’ve tried to show in a previous post that BPM and object orientation are, at a deep level, conceptually similar. Rather than yet another layer which represents yet another set of concepts, we really need a unified model which lets modellers (and the underlying software) do what the business wants without having to constantly bamboozle them with different representations.
