This paper addresses the importance of process in enterprise systems engineering. It relates process to the balance between complexity and order in a complex adaptive system, and it extends the rationale for process from efficiency to both efficiency and effectiveness in enterprise adaptation. It develops several enterprise principles based on the works of Ashby, Ackoff, Axelrod and Cohen, Barabasi, Gharajedaghi, and others. It makes no attempt to be mathematical or rigorous, but rather postulates several heuristics. It discusses the deep structure of engineering process.
