Business process management deals with the administration of the chains of events, activities, and decisions that add value to an organization. The ever-growing complexity and inner uncertainty of business-related operations call for a paradigm shift toward new technologies, such as digital twins, to coordinate and optimize the processes belonging to an organization. In this paper, we propose an extended version ofthe business process lifecycle that includes a Digital Twin of the Organization, in charge of consistently ensuring the process’s alignment with the required performance goals and facilitating recovery from failures. We also contribute to defining the model-driven components that transform the business process model, in BPMN notation, into a compatible process representation for the digital twin, enabling simulation capabilities and scenario analyses. Through a manufacturing use case, we demonstrate how the digital twin optimizes processes pre-implementation and facilitates rapid recovery and reconfiguration following critica lfailures, underscoring its potential to improve efficiency and reliability in process management.
