Workflow management, what is it anyway?

Workflow management is the control of the movement of information, often by automated means.

Workflow management aims to ensure that the right information, according to the company’s rules, gets from one department to another.

Go with the flow

So-called workflow software in which business processes are defined regulate the progress of an order, complaint or other task within a company by breaking it down into subtasks that are handled and approved in the appropriate order by the relevant departments.

A flow job, Time flies when you’re having fun

So workflow replaces a lot of types of communications between employees.

Setting up the phone or an email is unnecessary, the information is automatically shared in an agreed-upon format.

Moreover, the status and trajectory of a task are easy to retrieve.

Personal help lists are unnecessary. Sounds good right, you don’t have to worry about anything anymore because your information and actions can always be found in 1 place.

Workflow flies out of control

Yet workflow often falters in many organizations.

In fact, business processes appear to change more and more over time, and there you are with your pre-programmed workflow.

Of course, the IT guy comes by appointment and adjusts the workflow for a pricey bill.

But really smart and effective it is not!

Lean and workflow software

When we also went out of business with our software vendor in 2006, we started our own project.

Not that we understood complicated code but we knew what we wanted to see as users.

And we found a software developer who wanted to think with us from this perspective. So often problems or irritations are the beginning of a great solution.

And according to our customers, we are still listening.
