A system and method for augmenting a work-flow model to handle all expected and unexpected exceptions during run-time. The system includes an Exception Handling Knowledge Base (EHKB), a Work-flow Manager for managing the execution of the work-flow model and automatically adding exception transitions from the EHKB to the model except those forbidden, and a Work-flow Monitor for monitoring the model execution. The Monitor generating alerts to a business manager when the exceptions are encountered. At build-time, a process analyst could define a process schema in a Process Schema Repository, specify a forbidden exception or modify a schema to handle an exception based on guidance from the EHKB. At run-time, a user may initiate a forbidden exception with approval from the business manager.
