Operational Excellence 2.0: Invented in Silicon Valley?

Contributed by:Ian Gotts, Founder & CEO, Elements.cloud

I have spent the last 30 years evangelizing about the importance of well understood processes. We formalized the UPN (Universal Process Notation) approach which was based on SSADM. And we built a process mapping software vendor in the UK which was acquired by US process automation player and I now live in San Francisco where I have become an avid student of "the Silicon Valley way".

After a year or two off, I got 3 of the founders back together and we have launched a company which aims at helping the Fortune 5Million, not just the Fortune 500, to do a better job of systems implementation. At the heart of that is better process documentation. And the sweet spot is Salesforce.com implementations.

Why? Because it is a massive market that has an unmet and growing need. We can make a big difference helping every company achieve and maintain operational excellence. And because we can.

Growing pains

Coming out of the Pandemic Business Slowdown

...or Maybe Shutdown Would Describe it Better: A Case Study

There is no consistency to the business shutdown between states, counties, industries or anything I can think of. Each governor handled it differently and most of the time the rules really didn’t make sense. But one thing is clear, the governors are not through yet as each listen to their own physicians and advisors- each of whom have their own ideas. It seems that with each spike, large or small, the lockdown is back on. And we may be heading into another lockdown as winter approaches.

This article is not about politics or the Pandemic itself. It is about the yo-yo response that companies have to live with and if possible, not only stay in business but find a way to thrive - and some are thriving while others die.

Business Process Management in a Digital World - Trends and Predictions

Contributed by:Dr. Mathias Kirchmer, Managing Director | Co-CEO, BPM-D

Most organizations have started or at least planned digital transformation initiatives [12]. New digital tools are available with increasing regularity - and many of them have the potential for a major impact on business processes. Hyper-Automation has become a reality which changes the way business processes are organized and executed significantly. However, only a small number of organizations have their business processes sufficiently under control to realize the full potential of new digital technologies and the related transformation [7] [3]. Appropriate business process management (BPM) capabilities, delivered through the process of process management, have a significant impact on the value achieved through digitalization initiatives [2]. Digital transformation continues to shape the BPM Discipline. Here are four key trends and predictions:

Hyperautomation - Ballyhoo or Best Practice?

Contributed by:Andrew Spanyi, Faculty Member, DBizInstitute.org and Managing Director, Spanyi International

Gartner introduced the concept of Hyperautomation in 2019 as the key trend for 2020. What is it? Well, it's simply the combination of different technologies to carry out the end-to-end automation of an organization's processes by integrating technologies such as robotic process automation (RPA), intelligent business process management (IBPM), machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Collaboration- More than Meets the Eye

Contributed by:Daniel Morris, Managing Principle, Wendan Consulting

Has your company adopted collaboration as part of its culture? If it has, you have a good start - great first step.

But experience on transformation projects had shown me that collaboration is more than agreeing to send a representative to group meetings. It is also more than having managers attending these meetings so decisions can be made. Collaboration is much more than simply talking or attending a meeting and ignoring what you don’t like.

Taking Best Advantage of Process Mining

Contributed by:Andrew Spanyi, Faculty Member, DBizInstitute.org and Managing Director, Spanyi International

An increasing numbers of companies are becoming keenly interested in process mining. For example, the main track of the recent “International Conference on Process Mining (ICPM 2020)” had almost 2000 registered participants. While it was a virtual event due to Covid 19 – that level of participation is impressive nevertheless.

Why the rapidly growing interest in process mining? Unlike process modeling workshops, where the model is largely based on people’s perception of how work is done, process mining is data based. It extracts insights from processes by the means of analyzing the event data generated in IT systems. The potential benefits of process mining are principally related to process discovery and conformance checking. In other words, process mining compares data from the event log step-by-step with the process documentation or model to find discrepancies.
