Support for decision implementation and follow-up

Abstract

Post-decision activities have not had enough research within the decision making cycle. Perhaps they have been considered trivial or not meaningful in the past. However, without an appropriate follow-up, important decisions made in the previous phase may get lost or be implemented wrongly. This paper describes a computer-based support for decision implementation activities. The support includes the corresponding linkage of activities to the meeting decisions that originated them. The proposed system follows a process modeling approach to design the decision implementation activities and uses a workflow management system for process enactment.
