Business Process Management (BPM)

Managing business processes effectively requires more than just documentation—it demands governance, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Without a structured approach, outdated processes, lack of visibility, and training gaps can lead to inefficiencies and compliance risks.

With Elements. cloud, you can govern, version, and track your process documentation, ensuring that teams stay aligned and up to date.

The challenges of managing business processes

Siloed process documentation

Multiple process diagrams in different formats, covering a different scope, that are out of date is a low level of process maturity. Then make them siloed by business unite and the issue is worse.

No formal governance

Lack of version control makes it hard to track who made changes, what was modified, and when updates were approved—resulting in confusion and process drift. Audits and compliance are hot or miss.

No formal process approvals

Without a structured sign-off mechanism, teams risk working with outdated or unapproved processes, leading to inconsistent execution and compliance gaps. Process standardization or improvement is impossible.

Training caps reduce effectiveness

When new processes are published, there’s no way to ensure that employees have reviewed and understood them, increasing the risk of errors and inefficiencies.

Increasing process maturity

Elements.cloud provides governance, versioning, and training tools to ensure business processes remain accurate, aligned, and accessible. It is based on 20+ years of supporting process-led change and governance.

Process content versioning and sign-off

A rigorous, yet light-touch, governance framework ensures only approved processes are published and followed. A formal workflows for reviewing and approving process changes is enforced by Elements.

Training records on new content

When content is released, teams are sent content for sign-off based on their role. This tracks training on the latest processes. It enables adoption and training to be tracked, with revised and acknowledged process updates.

Documentation versioning and audit trail

Maintain full visibility into process history and changes. Elements.cloud keeps a complete version history of every process diagram, allowing teams to compare versions, track changes, and revert to previous states when needed.

Frequently asked questions

Elements does not include any task or process mining capability but what is does include is the ability to auto-generate consistent UPN process diagrams based on your ways of working as described in internal documentation or outputs from these tools. As such we can capture and manage your ‘as-is’ or ‘should be’ processes to augment your analysis on improvement, control, automation and compliance.

If you want to learn more about UPN best practices, we have written a comprehensive article covering all areas of UPN.

Elements does not use BPMN notation to describe processes. Elements is a process management and mapping platform designed to engage with a broad set of stakeholders in IT & business. It provides a wide variety of capabilities to allow the analysis of processes for improvement. We also include a variety of other diagramming types for ‘architecture diagrams’ facilitating a broad understanding of change impact using approaches such as capability mapping, infrastructure mapping, Entity Relationship Diagrams etc. We also have a ‘library’ where associated content (such as your BPMN diagrams) can be stored and managed as they apply to the organisations processes.

 

Elements is an Enterprise BPM platform with all the core capability you’d expect such as governed process diagrams, roles, process analysis, risk and control identification, reporting, hierarchical models, collaboration, training, attestation, associated documentation, industry frameworks (such as APQC) etc.

However the 3 things that distinguish Elements are:

Collaboration – Our emphasis is on process management that embraces both practitioners and business centered around our core UPN notation

Change – The clarity and quality of what needs changing and why aligning business requirements with IT systems and specific implementation advice is and advanced and elegant aspect of Elements BPM.

Agility – Elements contains AI capabilities for the automatic generation of common process diagrams based on your existing ways of working be that policy, procedure, work instruction, or existing process content
