For many companies, the development of a competitive E-Commerce strategy and even more so its implementation is a huge challenge. This paper presents a method that is aimed at reducing substantially cost and risk of suck an endeavour. The method has been adopted from an existing method for multi-perspective enterprise modelling. It supports strategy analysis and design as well as the corresponding organisational design. It also fosters the configuration of supporting information systems. Besides specialized process models, the method offers reference models for strategy design and a library of business process models. The process models can be transformed automatically into workflow schemata.
