Role Modellers Autumn 2010 Workshop Series - Human Interaction Management

"The first fundamental advance in personal productivity since the arrival of the spreadsheet" (Information Age, 2007) is here, and we can help you get started. According to Gartner, the "Fourth Wave" of Human Interaction Management techniques and tools won't be mainstream until 2012 - so now is your chance to get ahead of competitors.

Located at Role Modellers' offices in a picturesque English market town, this 2-day workshop is a hands-on introduction to next-generation process modelling and execution techniques that deal with human work at all organizational levels.

Working with examples from their own business, attendees will learn how to:

  • Reduce knowledge worker costs by up to 75%;
  • Deal efficiently and effectively with the 20% of "exceptional cases" that generate 80% of operating expenses (and potentially 80% of revenue);
  • Build collaborative business applications in minutes;
  • Implement true cross-boundary business processes;
  • Define and execute organizational strategy.

In order to use a computer, you install an operating system to provide and control access by people (user accounts) to things (local and network resources) and services (programs, typically).

It is the same with the next generation of the Internet. We need a more general means to provide and control access by people (trusted identities) to things (objects with an IP address or RFID tag) and services (Web services, typically). Just as with a computer, an operating system is required.

HIM/HumanEdj do exactly this - join up the Internet into something both usable and useful:

HIM - a process modelling approach based on objects of specific types (unlike other process modelling approaches, which are based on sequences of tasks).

HIM helps you understand the Roles, People, Interactions, Activities, Entities and Rules required to get achieve objectives, so that you can choose the appropriate resources for a venture, project, programme, issue, bid, or any other piece of work. You can then adjust the resources as necessary while doing the work - a critical enabler for collaborative human activity.

HumanEdj - a process execution system that implements HIM processes as "Plans" that can cross boundaries of any kind (unlike other process execution systems, which are restricted to a specific domain).

People working together in a Plan can belong to different organizations and can use their own instances of HumanEdj with different servers and different user interfaces. You can even communicate with colleagues in a HumanEdj plan using a messaging service such as email. There is no need for a single organization to "own the process", and no restriction to a specific device or platform. This is why email has become so widely used - you can communicate with people without having to use the same email server, or even know what email server they use.

HIM/HumanEdj make it possible to use the Internet efficiently and effectively.

They also make it possible to audit your usage. With the rise of regulatory controls in government/business, and the growing dangers of cyber-crime, it is becoming more and more important to keep a human-readable audit trail of your Internet activity (both for individuals and for organizations).

With HIM/HumanEdj, you get this for free. Every HumanEdj Plan is recorded automatically, both as a template for future work and as an audit trail. You always have a record of what you did, with whom, and the resources you used.

HIM/HumanEdj are the operating system for the next generation of the World Wide Web - they make it work, and they keep it safe.
