Workflows for execution by an autonomic provision management system to yield near clones and replacement systems for a set of targeted computing solutions are provided by determining a common denominator set of workflow steps among the workflows for the targeted computing systems, including workflows to morph a near clone to a specific targeted solution when executed a provisioning management system. Common portions of workflows are identified and archived as workflow templates for re-use in development of new workflows, thus virtualizing the process of subsequent workflow design which use the templates. Multi-level criteria-based searching is provided to workflow designers for finding and re-using existing workflows and workflow templates according to degree of matching common steps, quickest implementation, highest available, or other criteria.
