Deliberate development and management of an enterprise manifests complexity that posses a key question: "How to obtain comprehensive intelligibility of an enterprise?" One conceptual tool to overcome this is Enterprise Modeling. This paper presents a proposal for a Systemic Enterprise Modeling Language, derived from propositions within a French School of Systems Science, also known as "Le Moigne's Systemics".

This is followed by a comparison of the proposed language with other current languages for enterprise modeling, including a case study. This shows that the proposed language supports generation of the highest comprehensiveness of modelled enterprise. This is since the propose language provides a richer set of enterprise constructs.
