External Process

An external process is a process that Org needs, but that is not under its authority or budget. In other words, the process is beyond the “jurisdiction” of Org. An example is where a Central Bank needs government to change its laws so that it can secure financial stability. In this case it is in the direct interest of the Central Bank to get these laws changed. Yet, the process of changing the law is not in the hands of the Central Bank. To them it is an external process. In orgamatics we use classification or C-Keys to classify the activity of Org. This helps us to design a process construct at utmost efficiency. We use the C-Key, “eP” to classify an external process.
