How to make business process flexibly adapted to the changes of organization is the key problem for an enterprise to improve its competitive power. Aimed at providing a solution to this problem, a new flexible workflow model based on extensible organization definition is put forward. The proposed model is composed of organization model and process model. In organization model the new concept of sub-organization has been introduced with the realization mechanism, making the organization model extensible qualified. In process model all sub-organizations and workgroups are allowed to create sub-process independently and refer to sub-process dynamically. Compared with the traditional workflow model with the capability of sub-process definition, the proposed model reduces the effects on business process imposed by the change of enterprise organization structure, gains much more flexibility, and provides management means at all administrative levels.
