This document discusses adaptive case management (ACM) and how it differs from traditional business process management (BPM). ACM supports dynamic, knowledge-based work and innovation better than BPM, which is better suited for repetitive, predictable processes. The key differences are that ACM allows for emergent processes and user-defined templates rather than pre-defined flows. It also has lower overhead for adapting to changing needs compared to the complex modeling and analysis required by BPM.
