processesand

Processesand is a coined term describing an approach that treats organizational processes as an interconnected network, emphasizing the relationships between individual processes, data, resources, and outcomes. The concept positions process work as a unified fabric rather than a collection of isolated activities.

In this view, processesand blends methods from process mining, business process management, and data analytics to map, measure, and optimize workflows across an organization. It seeks to illuminate how processes interact, where information flows bottleneck, and how resources influence performance, with attention to end-to-end value creation.

Core concepts include process maps, event logs, interdependencies, bottlenecks, and performance metrics such as cycle time, throughput, and defect rate. Techniques commonly associated with processesand include BPMN modeling, process discovery, conformance checking, and simulation, all used to diagnose issues and predict the impact of changes across multiple processes.

Applications span manufacturing, software development, healthcare, logistics, and service industries, where a processesand perspective aims to improve efficiency, compliance, resilience, and adaptability while reducing waste. It supports governance by aligning process design with data-driven insights and strategic goals.

Because processesand is a relatively new or informal term, there is no single universally accepted framework. Practitioners typically align it with established methodologies and adapt definitions to organizational context, ensuring methods remain grounded in verifiable data and measurable outcomes.
