Human interaction management
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Human Interaction Management (HIM) is a set of management principles, patterns and techniques complementary to Business process management. HIM provides process-based support for innovative, adaptive, collaborative human work and allows it to be integrated in a structured way with more routinized work processes that are often largely automated.
HIM has an associated methodology called Goal-Oriented Organization Design (GOOD). GOOD emphasizes effectiveness over efficiency, and combines various approaches:
- Top-down: "Process Architecture" defines business strategy via a network of interacting high-level processes;
- Middle-out: "Levels of Control" separate process governance into Strategic, Executive and Management;
- Bottom-up: "Stories" represent collaborative work processes that the participants evolve on-the-fly as part of the work itself.
The reference implementation of a Human Interaction Management System (HIMS) is the free software HumanEdj.
