BUSINESS PROCESSES HIERARCHY
 
     
  No matter how complex the total processes of an enterprise, they may be described in simple terms as a single set of processes.  
  For example, a sales company begins with defining its products, determining its sales and marketing strategy/price, making the offer, managing the sale and reviewing the sales results/product development.  
  This is called the Business Process Hierarchy.  
  The purpose of the business process hierarchy  
  The prime purpose of the business processes hierarchy is to determine that all core processes are in fact primary to the function of the business.  
  For example, over time an enterprise may adopt certain business practices to compensate for a deficincy, for example the writing of software. Over time however, the company may find it has a large investment in software development when in fact its business in no way is core to software or software related knowledge development.  
  Without a clear map of the higher processes of the company, such understandings are impossible to identify.
