Paper Abstract:	Although there are many initiatives related to defining specific Business Process Improvement patterns (BPIP), we don’t find any general description of such patterns. Determining the essential attributes constituting a BPIP can be very helpful in this context and will certainly contribute to describing the general structure of any improvement pattern. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to propose a meta-model, presenting a complete and global structure of an improvement pattern. The definition of the meta-model was based on a study of the different attributes defined in literature for existing meta-models, presenting not only the structure of a BPIP but also other types of patterns. The defined meta-model gives detailed information about the core attributes and types of BPIP while being based on the flexibility concept. The main benefit of this research study is presenting a complete and general meta-model for BPI patterns by defining the core attributes of a pattern as well those specific to a particular type of patterns, selected based on the context of application.
