Plan
• Paradigm shift• New trends• Needs for a practically useful theory

What is Business Process?
Requirements
Coordinated activity of people aimed at
achieving some goal
Design Operation
Example: Development of an IT-system
GoalIntroduce a new system into the operational practice
Time
People

What is Business Process Management?
A way of achieving optimal use of (human) resources in an organization
• Specialization• Standardization• Automation
+
• Streamlining of processes (according to their goals)• Adjusting process goal's to the organizational goals
5 ahead of current thinking
What is Business Process Support (BPS) system?
An IT-system that helps to achieve and maintain:• Specialization• Standardization• Automation+
• Provide information for evaluation and measurements
Via:• Assisting in completing tasks
• Providing effective channels for collaboration/communication

Paradigm shift
Construction site – invite next in line to the shared space
Conveyor belt - Send information to the next in line
11 ahead of current thinking
• A new shared spaces is created as soon as a new process instance is started
• When the process instance reaches its operational goal, the shared space is closed (sealed), but remains accessible for reading
• A person who is assigned a task in the frame of the process case “goes” to the shared space of the case in order to get the information he needs for completing the task and reports the results achieved in the same space
Paradigm shift – how it works
12 ahead of current thinking
• Proper structure of shared spaces
• Flexible invitation technique

New Directions in BPM & BPS
Focus on data processingTarget: green processes
Adaptive Case Management
Social Software
Focus on communication/collaborationTarget: blue processes
18 ahead of current thinking
• Service oriented architecture Managing and supporting processes that cross
organizational/departmental boundaries via choosing “services” on the fly dependent on the needs and availability
• Common features– No predefined activity/task flow - “on the fly”
– No detailed control – flexibility
– Focus on the data that to be processed and or obtained
New Directions in BPM & BPS
19 ahead of current thinking
Defining a process as a flow of activities won't do
Does BPM have a theory to cover paradigm shift
“There is nothing more practical than a good theory”
Kurt Levin
20 ahead of current
thinking
Where to look for the right kind
of theory? One option – “Where it already works – in the domain of physical processes control”
21 ahead of current thinking
A state-oriented view
• For each item Ordered = Delivered
• To pay = Total + Freight + Tax• Ordered > Delivered
shipment
• To pay > Invoiced invoicing
• Invoiced = To pay
• Paid = Invoiced

Shared space as a map which is used as:• an overview of the case/instance
• guidelines for handling the case
• a menu for navigating inside the case's shared space

Advantages of the state-oriented view
• It does not limit the way to describe possible trajectories
• The idea of space can be translated into the structure of shared spaces in Social Software
• The idea of space can be translated to the data from ACM
• It can give a meaning to what is a service – means of moving from one point in the state space to another
