Understand agentic BPM — and decide when it fits
In three hours you go from 'AI for processes?' to a concrete picture of what agentic BPM is, when it works and which processes in your organisation qualify first.
What you'll learn
-
Classic BPM vs. agentic BPM
Where BPMN models end and AI agents begin — and why that distinction is crucial for successful implementation.
-
When are agents the right choice?
A practical decision model: which process characteristics make a process suitable for agentic automation.
-
Three architecture patterns
Reactive agents, orchestrator patterns and multi-agent workflows — with a real-world case per pattern.
-
Governance and human control
How to design escalation paths, auditability and human-in-the-loop moments for compliance-sensitive processes.
-
Your personal prioritisation list
You leave the session with a longlist of candidate processes, ranked by feasibility and impact.

About the trainer
Wiemer Kuik
Founder & senior agentic BPM advisor
Wiemer Kuik has worked at the intersection of process management, organisational change and technology for 40+ years. As a former transformation advisor at major Dutch organisations, he knows what it costs when processes don't work — and what it delivers when they do. His focus is on the practical side of agentic BPM: not the hype story, but the architectural choices, governance setup and adoption approach that determine whether an implementation actually succeeds.
LinkedInParticipant experiences
In three hours from sceptic to convinced — not through hype, but through concrete examples immediately recognisable for our situation.
Finally a session that doesn't start with 'AI will change everything' but with the question of which processes are actually suitable. That was refreshing.
The prioritisation list we made at the end was taken directly to the management team. Rarely brought such a concrete result from a half-day session.
As a consultant I now use the governance checklist as standard in every BPM engagement. The framework provided in this session is immediately applicable.
My IT team and I were there together. Rarely do we have such a shared starting point after one session. Recommended for everyone wanting to start an agentic BPM project.
