What is Human Process Management?

Human Process Management – it’s all about people

Gain full visibility and control over human centric interactions and ad hoc dynamic processes.

For many of us, most of our work entails gathering information, collaborating with others and making decisions. Such human-centric business processes are tacit by nature, change on the fly and never flow exactly the same way twice. These dynamic, human-centric processes require the appropriate working environment – one that is as dynamic as the human interaction itself.

Traditional business process management systems are designed for structured processes and fail to deliver the flexibility which is innate to human work. Without the proper framework for efficient collaboration and human process management, people naturally turn to using email and plain documents (or spreadsheets) as solutions to action item management and process management. But when using these tools - the wrong tools for the job -  follow-up becomes an impossible mission. All you get is overload of emails and documents.

Where can we find human processes?

  • Strategic and tactical management and decision-making
  • Processes that cross organizational boundaries
  • Processes requiring negotiations and commitments
  • Processes requiring human judgment to determine next steps
  • Processes that change their structure and participants as work progresses
  • Processes that require an audit trail of commitments and actions to demonstrate management and regulatory compliance
  • Processes that have deep implications, such as suspected fraud or new business risk
