How to Manage Unstructured Processes with Adaptive Case Management

The daily, human-driven processes upon which most businesses rely make up an estimated 60 to 80 percent of the work done in any given company. If left to their own devices, employees are likely to manage these processes via e-mail or Office applications, on paper or through verbal updates.

However, none of these ways enable managers to track the steps of business-critical actions and ensure positive outcomes. Ad hoc tasks, by their nature, defy the confines of structured solutions such as business process management. However, that doesn't mean that businesses need to accept the operational risk inherent in unmanaged or mismanaged processes.

There are adaptive case management solutions available that are specifically designed for managing these unstructured processes. They consist of gathering information, collaborating with others, managing individual work loads, and making decisions that are dependent on the knowledge, judgment and experience of the participants. This technology can be a stand-alone solution or can be embedded in familiar Office environments, making it intuitive for users and simple to incorporate into day-to-day use.
