Business process management is an excellent way to keep your business organized and running efficiently, but BPM implementation can still create problems along the way. The most common business process management challenges are not just software issues. They happen when people misunderstand the system, do not buy into it, forget steps under pressure, or assume responsibility belongs to the process instead of a person.

It is important to recognize what can occur so you can create an environment that prevents those problems from happening. Here are four general problems with business process management, plus practical ways to counter them before they spread through the business.

5 Methods to Set up Recurring Tasks (and Stop Your Team Missing Deadlines)

Operations manager setting up recurring tasks with a recurring task deadline machine

A recurring task is any piece of work your team has to do again and again: every day, every week, every month, or whenever a specific trigger happens. The work may be simple, but missed recurring tasks create real operational risk because everyone assumes someone else remembered the deadline.

The goal is not just to remember the task. The goal is to create it, assign it, add the due date, notify the owner, and keep proof that the work happened without rebuilding the same admin routine every time. That is how recurring task methods stop teams missing deadlines.

Nikos Andriotis has two decades of professional experience in education, IT, and eLearning. He holds a degree in Informatics, and his writing has been featured in dozens of tech industry publications.

Do you think you’re doing a good job with your employee training?

Strong training still comes down to the same practical question: can employees apply what they learned when real work starts?

17 Checklists for Life to Ring in the New Year

Organize Your Adventures With Process Street

A good checklist is a practical way to ring in the New Year because the new year gives people a clean moment to look at what they want to change: health, money, routines, travel, relationships, career, and the life admin that usually gets pushed aside.

That moment matters, but a promise is not a process. Pew Research Center found that 30% of Americans made at least one New Year’s resolution in 2024, and the most common goals were health, money, relationships, hobbies, and work. Those are exactly the areas where a life checklist helps because it turns intention into a sequence you can actually follow.

3 Enterprise Automation Examples: Achieving End-to-End Efficiency

Inefficient workflows quietly drain a large share of revenue every year. That is a third of your enterprise’s earning potential wasted on everything from a single missed email to a stock of excess inventory. Imagine what you could do with that money instead. You could hire new employees to scale the business further. Department budgets could be expanded so teams use better equipment. Automation is how you take that money back, and it is no longer optional: in McKinsey’s 2025 State of AI survey, 88% of organizations reported using AI in at least one business function, and Redwood’s 2025 Enterprise Automation Index found 73% of companies increased automation spend in the past year, with nearly 40% reporting cost reductions of 25% or more.

All of this and more can be achieved with business process automation. To demonstrate, let us walk through three core enterprise automation examples for processes that are riddled with the kind of waste automation removes, built in Process Street.

Perfect Your Daily Routine in 4 Easy Steps

Black-and-white professional arranging a daily routine planning board for a recurring workflow.

We’ve all been there. You wake up between 7 and 9, have a quick breakfast, or not at all, and start work. Perhaps you’re hoping to get that big project out of the way to get ahead, then blast away some of the more difficult topics while you’re on a roll.

The trouble is, if you set off working as soon as possible after waking up, the chances are that something will stop you. It could be that you’re not awake properly and so don’t work as quickly as you’d like, or that you burn out in the first few morning hours, drudging through your afternoon in a low-energy, unproductive state.
