The future of Business Process Management: BPM 2.0

Processes and applications working together in concert across the organization and leveraging compliant best practices with the help of SOA and workflow is a big step forward, but there is more to the story of running a competitive business today.

In a new post at Jim Sinur’s blog, he discusses the important processes. Sinur believes that the five points below will transform the way we see BPM today for the better:

  • Processes Need to be Indeterminate

The processes must find a way to be more flexible and dynamic.

  • Processes Need to Support Best Practice Discovery

BPM processes must not be stuck in one rut, and the must be able to figure out how the process is working. It should observe the patterns and figure out how the process can be adapted to the program.

  • Processes Need to be Widely Inclusive

The processes can’t be limited to inside the organization. The program must know how to be cross functional.

  • Processes Need to be Intelligent

The program would be able to identify anything going on in the programs, and then notify the users of the changes

  • Processes Need to be Goal Driven

The process management could have several different outcomes that need to happen. The programs would then identify these, and determine the best plan of action to take in order to get the different processes to the one spot.
