Business process management (BPM) is evolving
rapidly in the face of ongoing advancements in
technology, an increasingly multigenerational
workforce, and an evolving and complex
regulatory landscape. Underpinning every BPM

professional process diagrams. There is
continuing interest in automating business
processes, and today’s organizations are

these processes for effective business
governance. In recent times, many
organizations
