Social BPM is a discipline which combines traditional Business Process Management techniques with Web 2.0 "social" tools and technologies, to facilitate business improvement efforts.

* A methodology
* Social Networking principles
* A combination of Web 2.0 and social tools with BPM to enable bi-directional collaboration
