WHAT IS BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT?
7
Business Process Management
8
A top-down methodology
A systematic approach for improving a specific process
A set of software technologies
The same thing as business process reengineering
Some definitions…
Business Process Management
9
“Business Process Management (BPM) is a holistic management approach that encompasses all aspects of a business including Strategy, People, Processes and Technology, in order to delivering value to customers
and other stakeholders.”
10
BPM IS A JOURNEY …
You never arrive.
11
AS SUCH…
It requires coordination to keep the Journey moving forward smoothly.
12
BUT HOW DO WE DO IT?
Challenges Limited resources
Competing priorities
Standardization (methods, technologies)
Increasing demands from both the business and customers
Management demand to show ROI
Gain process maturity and foster an environment of continuous improvement
Struggling with complexity and change13
Complexity
14
“Change is linked to complexity. Complexity increases both when the rate of change increases and when the amount of things that are changing around us increase.” Theodore
Modis
WHAT IS A BPM CENTER OF EXCELLENCE?
15
The BPM Center of Excellence
A centralized organization focused on the enterprise-wide coordination of process activities
The Hub for all things BPM
A Steward of methods and standards
A link between strategy and execution
Agent of change
16
WHY ESTABLISH A BPM COE?
17
The Need for Coordination
The only way organizations can deliver value to their customers is via cross-organizational business processes
Business strategy is therefore delivered and executed by means of business processes
To ensure the business strategy is being delivered as desired, process initiatives must be coordinated, managed and controlled
Few organizations have a centralized structure dedicated to this objective
18
Traditional Management Model Redundant activities/duties
Misaligned incentives/ compensation
Isolated measurement model
Limited reuse Multiple breakpoints Multiple moments of
truth No cross-organization
control

Discontinuous thinking leads to disjointed customer experiences…
How many people or departments did I have to talk to just to get my issue resolved?
Current Trends
23
“Broadly speaking, investing in better coordination and management of process work has been on the rise, while incremental approaches are slowly declining, or at least
being integrated into larger, organization-wide BPM initiatives..”

Key Considerations
Executive Sponsorship is Key Startups take vision and investment BPM is a big investment … Hardware, Software, People,
Project Costs It’s a business ... financial benefit to the Organization
needs to be documented Communication … do it early … do it often
Surprises … Communicating the Reference Architecture to the Business is important
Your peers don’t know what you have not shared with them … until you tell them three times
You don’t know what your team has not told you … Communication will create demand … do you have the
capacity?
38
Key Considerations
Demand comes quickly … get your capacity ready Recruit … Recruit … Recruit … get help You need a diverse set of skills …
Setting up a new business takes a LOT of energy … Plan for change … and stress Work to stay aligned to your plan (“Plan your work and
work your plan”) Work to get others aligned to your plan …
communicate Setting up the Infrastructure and Base Platform installs
is a massive project • Development, Test, Pre-Production, Production
39
Good Things Happen Along the Way
BPM & SOA lead to reuse
Reuse sometime pops up unexpectedly … especially when focused on core processes
Example … Our pilot had to do with managing the process and data for customers with multiple insurance policies.
Currently using two claim systems but working to converge to a single one.
We reused knowledge, services, and processes to accelerate and ensure consistency for the migration.

Summary
Cross-organizational coordination of process initiatives is critical to success
Implement your Center of Excellence sooner vs. later
Properly staff and fund the Center of Excellence with the appropriate roles and skills
Don’t burden individual process improvement teams with defining standards and methods
