based on analogy with "comité de pilotage" (steering committee)

which when successful will be followed by the full-scale execution

Business process management (BPM) is a field of knowledge at the intersection between management and information technology, encompassing methods, techniques and tools to design, enact, control, and analyze operational business processes involving humans, organizations, applications, documents and other sources of information.[1] The term 'operational business processes' refers to repetitive business processes performed by organizations in the context of their day-to-day operations, as opposed to strategic decision-making processes which are performed by the top-level management of an organization. BPM differs from business process reengineering, a management approach popular in the 1990s, in that it does not aim at one-off revolutionary changes to business processes, but at their continuous evolution. In addition, BPM usually combines management methods with information technology.

BPM covers activities performed by organizations to manage and, if necessary, to improve their business processes. While such a goal is hardly new, software tools called business process management systems (BPM systems) have made such activities faster and cheaper. BPM systems monitor the execution of the business processes so that managers can analyze and change processes in response to data, rather than just a hunch.


Avec la démarche processus, l’entreprise découvre la nécessité de mettre en place de nouvelles fonctions permettant de piloter les processus de l’entreprise et surtout d’en garantir leur bon fonctionnement.

Pour ce faire une nouvelle fonction voit le jour que l’on nomme : Le pilote de processus

Le pilote de processus a une fonction essentielle au sein de l’entreprise et doit être le garant des processus et de leur bonne application. Maintenant, il ne faut pas limiter le pilote à un rôle de superviseur car dans la réalité il enest tout autre.
