WORKSOP DESCRIPTION

Unique Contributions of this Workshop
•	This workshop brings together different perspectives and research 
streams on change, drift, and dynamics of organizational processes and 
routines
•	This workshop reaches out to researchers from the organization 
sciences and information systems scholars to stronger engage with the 
BPM Conference. At the same time, we welcome submissions relating to 
classic BPM research on process drift and process change
•	Co-Organizer Waldemar Kremser is a key researcher from the 
organization sciences who has co-founded the Routines.Research.Community
•	This workshop plays a key role in building a bridge between research 
communities interested in organizational processes and routines and 
brings new groups of researchers to the BPM Conference

Organizational processes are everything but stable; they change over 
time. This change is connected with various factors inside and outside 
the organization. Different descriptions of change phenomena have been 
discussed in the literature, such as incremental or seasonal drift, 
endogenous and exogenous change, along with roadblocks and enablers for 
process change. Recent research investigates, among others, how we can 
detect drift in organizational processes, how we can use process mining 
to make change visible, how we can theorize change of processes, and 
which methods can support the design of new versions of processes.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together different perspectives and 
research fields on change, drift, and dynamics of organizational 
processes and routines. To facilitate this, we invite conceptual, 
technical, and empirical papers addressing various aspects that relate 
to changes, drifts, and dynamics of organizational processes and 
routines. Related terms covered by recent BPM research and neighbouring 
disciplines that we specifically welcome are process evolution, routine 
dynamics, exogenous and endogenous change, process drift detection, etc. 
We encourage submissions from different epistemologies and applying 
different research methods. We invite submissions from Business Process 
Management, but also from other connected research areas, such as 
Routine Dynamics, Information Systems, and Computer Science.

Submissions can address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
•	What are novel techniques to detect drift in organizational processes 
and routines?
•	How do business processes, routines, and related aspects change over 
time?
•	How can change of business processes and routines be studied 
methodologically?
•	How can change of business processes and routines be conceptually 
described and theorized?
•	How do change initiatives unfold and what are their effects?
•	Which kind of unintended change of business processes and routines 
exist and how do they unfold?
•	Which kind of positive and negative deviance emerges from process 
change?
•	How can techniques like process mining help to investigate dynamics of 
processes and routines?
•	How do specific technologies (e.g., robotic process automation) 
trigger change in organizational processes and routines?

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any 
of the workshop topics. Papers must not exceed 12 pages for full papers 
and 6 pages for research-in-progress papers. The formatting must comply 
with the LNBIP format 
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-791344-0). Papers 
have to present original research contributions not concurrently 
submitted elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract, a 
classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of 
topics above, and an indication of the submission category (regular 
paper/position paper/tool report). All papers will undergo regular 
peer-review. The paper selection will be based upon the relevance of 
submitted papers to the main topics, as well as upon their quality and 
potential to generate relevant discussion at the workshop. Based on the 
reviews, we will have two types of papers/ presentations. First, we will 
have regular papers that will be published by Springer as a 
post-proceeding volume (to be sent around 4 months after the workshop) 
in their Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) 
series. Second, we will invite submitted papers that cannot be published 
as idea talks with the aim to foster discussions among the workshop 
participants and provide feedback to the authors.

The workshop is planned as a half-day event and comprises the 
presentation of accepted papers and idea talks. Moreover, we plan a 
discussion session for outlining future research directions and for 
motivating joint research efforts of participants.
The workshop will be held in conjunction with the 21st International 
Conference on Business Process Management hosted by the Utrecht 
University and the University of Applied Sciences Utrecht in Utrecht, 
the Netherlands, from 11 to 15 September, 2022.
