A method, system and article of manufacture for adding randomness to a process used to achieve a specified objective. In one embodiment, the method comprises defining a multitude of solution paths through the process for achieving the specified objective; storing the paths as process workflows; and in response to a specified event, choosing one of the solution paths at random and executing the process, using the chosen solution path, to achieve the specified objective. In an embodiment, the process includes a specified number of steps; and the solution paths are defined by defining a multitude of orders of the steps, each of the orders, when executed, achieving the specified result. In one embodiment, at least a plurality of the steps includes one or more parameters; and a range of values is defined for at least one of the parameters of at least one of the steps.
