BPMS Watch - BPM and Its Enemies

My very first BPMS Watch column, over three years ago, was titled “Without a BPMS, It’s Not Really BPM.” And to a large degree I still believe that, although today I would probably tone it down to...

    The Rules for Smarter Business Processes

    The value of BPM has been clearly demonstrated in its ability to model, orchestrate and report on both human and system-based workflows. A Business Rules Management System (BRMS) takes BPM to a new level of efficiency and sophistication through its ability to automate decisions within processes. Fair Isaac Corp. and Knowledge Partners Inc. will explain the value of a dedicated BRMS...

    Organizational Performance Home Page

    Welcome to the Dedicated Organizational Performance section of BPMInstitute.org.

    The purpose of this dedicated page is to provide you a lively forum for raising issues and ideas that are emerging within the broad field of organizational alignment and performance, such as:

    • Role of the Performance Architect
    • Performance measurement
    • Value chain design and management
    • Integration of performance systems and BPMS
    • Future of BPM software and organizational performance
    • Process management
    • Alignment between enterprise goals, business process architecture, and enabling systems
    • Alignment between strategy and performance
    • Balanced scorecard/management dashboards
    • Six sigma and other methods for performance optimization
    • Alignment between business and IT

    Additionally, our focus will be on the alignment of strategies, processes, performers, measures, technologies and management to achieve and sustain outstanding levels of performance of the entire enterprise.

    Our belief is that organizational performance is achievable only when an organization has defined the major elements that affect performance and aligned them (which often means redesigning them) to support strategies and goals.

    Just as often the task of alignment also means ridding the organization of things (practices, policies, organization structures) that impede organizational performance.

    The Five Implementation Options to Manage the Risk in a New Process
    By: Daniel J. Madison, Principal, Value Creation Partners

    How do you manage the risk and uncertainty concerning a new process design? Below are five options ranging from low-risk suggestions to ones that imply higher risks.

    Role-Playing, Practice, and SimulationThe least risky option is to role-play, practice, or simulate the new design. To use a military metaphor, you wouldn’t be using live ammunition in this option. A professional football team...

    Co-Chair Keynote: Dimensions of Business Change
    Featuring: Brett Champlin, Co-Chair and President, ABPMP.org

    How do you manage business change? Many methodologies provide a one-size-fits-all approach that treats all business transformation efforts as if they were no more than minor variations on a theme. BPM provides a strategic framework for managing change that recognizes and leverages the many different dimensions of business needs for change.

    This presentation will discuss the main factors that...

    Metrics and Process Management

    Presented by Alan Ramias, Partner, Performance Design Lab & Cherie Wilkins, Partner, Performance Design Lab

    Course Description:

    This workshop is designed to provide participants with a practical and time-tested methodology and toolset for creating and implementing a successful measurement and management system. Starting with a review of the many things that can go wrong in creating metrics, dashboards and the other popular artifacts of the measurement industry, these PDL partners share their hard-earned knowledge of how to design metrics that measure what they’re supposed to, link process performance to organizational goals, and provide useful information for guiding executive decision-making, troubleshooting and continuous improvement. They then show how to create a well-defined process management system in which the metrics operate as a continuous window on organizational performance at all levels and enable managers to make coherent, quick and effective decisions. Participants are given opportunities to apply the templates and tools to case examples and to their own organizations.
