In order to quickly find information needed during process execution knowledge workers often take a look at and navigate in available business process models and related process documentation. This task can be  time-consuming and complex, especially when business processes comprise hundreds or up to thousands of process steps and numerous process-related information. Think of complex engineering processes in the automotive industry and associated engineering documents or tool instructions. Moreover, business processes are typically presented in a rather static manner, e.g., as simple drawings or textual process descriptions. What companies crave for are new ways of visualizing processes together with associated process-related information. Goal is to effectively support process enactment and link processes with relevant information. In this talk these issues are picked up and a novel business process navigation approach based on linear algebra is introduced.
