Abstract

See full text

A computer program (38) for organization management can interact with a database (36) containing organization information, and includes a personnel administration module (41), a personnel development module (46), and a workflow engine (43). The personnel administration module can interact with the workflow engine to initiate a workflow to obtain approvals for a proposed change in the database. A supplemental program (51) is provided to permit the personnel development module to cause the workflow engine to initiate a workflow in association with a proposed change, and can interact with a scenario table and a scenario attributes table. The scenario table identifies different types of proposed changes, and identifies the particular workflow process to initiate for each such type. The scenario attributes table identifies one or more proposed changes which fall within each type, and indicates whether it is necessary to initiate a workflow for each such change.
