Process Science & Business Process Management
Process Science is an emerging field of scientific endeavour that incorporates contributions from various research disciplines including information systems, computer science, and business process management (BPM) to combine IT and business perspectives, with the ultimate goal of improving an organisation’s business operations and interorganisational value chains. Process Science seeks to exploit the ever increasing volume of process-related data and advanced data analytics to increase the understanding, visibility, effectiveness and efficiency of processes within an organisation. As such, it is a significant contributor to an organisation’s overall performance and competitiveness, and a key enabler of organisational innovation and transformation.
