Mirko Kloppenburg

Hi, I'm Mirko! 😊

In 20 years of BPM experience, I've seen the same problem over and over again: People do not like processes. And yet, people and their attitudes toward process are the most important thing in BPM!

That's why I set out to figure out how to get people excited about process — and created the “New Process” approach using New Work ideas. It adds a human-centric mindset to the already proven BPM tools and methods we know from the past.

→ BPM + New Work = New Process

Thanks to many expert interviews on my New Process Podcast, I explore more and more ideas on rethinking processes. You can find all my learnings here:
