A variety of software tools has ap- peared in the market, processing power has dramatically increased, model- ling architectures have evolved and even matured. Despite such advances however, widespread use of models, as a strategic decision support tool en- compassing large industrial sectors, remains unattainable. The working group analysed the current situation, identified major problems and issues as causes and suggested a roadmap for the next steps in Enterprise Modelling. The following Quad-Chart (Table 1) summarises the work of the group that addressed those requirements. It identifies the approach taken to resolve the issues and proposes a project and ideas for future work for testing and enhancing the proposed solutions.
