  text: 'This research provides a method for designing competenceoriented, modular
    workflows that support strategic decisionmaking in strategic product planning
    (SPP) under conditions of uncertainty and time pressure. Increasing digitalization
    and data availability require decision support systems that integrate analytical
    models while being tailored to the competencies of decision-makers. Based on a
    systematic literature review and stakeholder workshops, eight success factors
    for competency-oriented workflow integration are identified, including modularity,
    traceability, interoperability, adaptability, handling uncertainty, and user acceptance.
    Based on these factors, a five-step method is developed that links business processes,
    data sources, evaluation criteria, visualization formats, and graphical workflow
    implementation. Strategic and technical decision logic are integrated into a unified,
    modular framework using graphical modeling environments. The method is validated
    in workshops and demonstrates its applicability in time-critical, multi-criteria
    decision contexts. The results show improved transparency, adaptability, and practical
    usability of datadriven decision processes that support robust and traceable business
    decisions. '
