Business process management (BPM) | Wikipedia. Business process management (BPM) is a field in operations management that focuses on improving corporate performance by managing and optimising a company's business processes.[1] It can therefore be described as a "process optimization process. " It is argued that BPM enables organizations to be more efficient, more effective and more capable of change than a functionally focused, traditional hierarchical management approach.[2] These processes can impact the cost and revenue generation of an organization. Changes in Business Process Management[edit] Although BPM initially focused on the automation of business processes with the use of information technology, it has since been extended[by whom?] To integrate human-driven processes in which human interaction takes place in series or parallel with the use of technology. More recent variations such as "human interaction management"[8][9] are concerned with the interaction between human workers performing a task.
