    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.

    BPM, Six Sigma and Simulation for Today's Tough Business Environment
    By: Marvin Wurtzel, Wurtzel Consulting, Inc.

    During the 1980s and 1990’s the use of flowcharts began to evolve. Next Business Process Management (BPM) came along to more formalize their use and combine their use with computer systems technology. Also in this timeframe, Six Sigma came into play as a means to improve processes by minimizing variability. Next, Lean six sigma evolved as a further means of reducing waste in processes.

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

    How do you manage business change?
