What is the Process?

The process is at the core of the Business Process Management (BPM) movement. The PROCESS is a set of tasks, both manual and automated, that together perform an activity. The process may correspond to a primary or secondary activity. A primary activity is revenue generating, while a secondary activity supports one or more primary activities. In an organization, a process tends to cross departmental boundaries, and in certain cases, the boundary of the organization itself. Becoming a PROCESS-oriented company is the right way to eliminate the silos of information within the organization.

When we refer to the Process we usually refer to its digitized form. The digitized process is the process as described by a process language. A process language is intent to describe the process by its inputs, outputs, activities and behavior. The objective of the digitized process is to be able to execute on a Business Process Execution Engine.

Why is being PROCESS-oriented important to you? 

Imagine if any process within your organization was known and properly documented. Imagine if you could send a new hire to the PROCESS school. From learning, to research, to developing your products and services, from Human Resources, to ordering commodities. Imagine not having to call two different people to get the latest changes on how something is done in your organization. Seen this way, what the process is, and why it is so important, becomes immediate. Bottom line, you should be PROCESS-oriented because it is the only way to afford the perpetual state of change.
