The QKS Vortex 2026 – BPM & Process Automation report explores how Business Process Management (BPM) and process automation are transforming as organizations shift from isolated automation projects to enterprise-wide execution governance.
As automation technologies, artificial intelligence, and agent-driven systems expand across enterprises, a new challenge emerges maintaining consistent, transparent, and accountable execution across people, systems, and intelligent agents. The report analyzes the major trends shaping BPM and process automation in 2026 and beyond, highlighting how enterprises are addressing rising operational complexity, regulatory demands, and performance accountability.
Developed through original QKS Group research and enriched by insights from BPM practitioners and industry experts, this report offers a forward-looking perspective on how enterprises can restore visibility, control, and trust in increasingly automated environments.
What Is the QKS Vortex?
The QKS Vortex is a proprietary strategic framework created by QKS Group to illustrate how enterprise capabilities evolve as technology matures and execution complexity intensifies.
In the BPM & Process Automation edition, the QKS Vortex demonstrates how BPM capabilities progress from integration and intelligence toward autonomy and self-governing execution—while being influenced by evolving human behaviors and organizational culture.
Rather than functioning as a traditional maturity model or linear roadmap, the QKS Vortex serves as an analytical lens. It connects developments across BPM, automation, AI, and execution governance, helping enterprises interpret change and prepare for what lies ahead.
Why This Report Matters
Although organizations have heavily invested in BPM platforms, robotic process automation (RPA), AI, and process intelligence tools, many still face fragmented workflows, unclear accountability, and inconsistent business outcomes.
The QKS Vortex framework identifies the structural, technological, and cultural transformations necessary to move beyond automation initiatives toward scalable, governed execution that delivers measurable and reliable results.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
