Why AI is making workflow automation trendy | Computer Weekly
BPMN workflow automation is gaining renewed momentum through AI and the 2006 BPMN standard. BPMN is increasingly paired with agentic AI to enable adaptive process automation. Autonomy depends on linking workflows to real-time conditions and making approval processes ideally autonomous. Earlier workflow tools enabled basic mapping and model runs but lacked deeper capabilities. Fairlink was created to improve transparency in recruitment and employment for immigrant workers, using three integrated platforms to make recruitment safer and more accountable. The platforms include governance and guardrails to connect jobseekers with employers and reduce exploitation risk. A workflow engine supports operating with a small team focused on solving the business problem.
"“Autonomy is only possible if you directly relate [the workflow] to what's going on in real time, and your approval process is ideally autonomous,” he said."
"“I remember, and I was doing some stuff in logistics, which lends itself to process mapping.” But, he recalls, the workflow tools of the time were basic mapping tools. “You could run models, but you couldn't do anything more. As a 20-year-old, I was absolutely blown away that nobody was doing this properly,” he said."
"Fairlink was established to tackle the exploitation of immigrant workers. It aims to provide transparency in recruitment and throughout the employment journey using three integrated platforms that work together to make recruitment safer and more accountable at every stage of the process."
"“For one of the first times in my career, I have very few people as opposed to thousands of people in the business. I have a small organisation, and we are focused on the business problem we have to solve.”"
