What started as a Udemy course in 2017 became a global community of 50,000+ BPM practitioners, and the foundation for a new kind of process platform.
Most organizations can't answer a simple question: how does this actually work here? Processes live in people's heads, in scattered documents, or in tools nobody opens. The result: misalignment, wasted effort, and transformation projects that start without a map.
In 2017, Fabian Hinsencamp and Sebastian Lesser started teaching BPMN on Udemy. Not as an academic exercise, but as a practical skill for making work visible. The course took off. But what surprised them wasn't the demand for notation. It was the demand for process thinking: how to see an organization from the perspective of its processes, from daily operations up to value chains and strategy.
That became ProcessCamp's mission. We teach practitioners how to make processes visible, identify where things break, align operations with strategy, and build the foundation for continuous improvement, whether that leads to better handoffs, automation, or AI readiness. BPMN is the language. Process thinking is the skill.
Today, 50,000+ professionals from 180 countries have learned through ProcessCamp - at companies like Siemens, Deloitte, DHL, IBM, and Capgemini. Two Udemy courses with 12,000+ reviews. A weekly live session. A growing community of people who believe that clarity about how work gets done is the starting point for everything else.
A decade of conversations with practitioners also taught us that education alone isn't enough. The tools were holding people back - too complex, too expensive, or too disconnected from how teams actually work. That's why we built crismo - an AI-first process platform grounded in everything this community taught us. ProcessCamp is where you learn to think in processes. Crismo is where you put that thinking to work.
