Business Process Management

Many organizations have learned that Business Process Management (BPM) can compress cycle times, reduce cost and improve responsiveness, yet only about one-third of "process-oriented" companies go beyond the basics of the initial project. A growing number of companies are starting to implement the basics of documenting, analyzing and designing business processes, as well as process improvements. Yet companies must go beyond the basics to practice continuous process improvement. If you keep moving by monitoring and continuously improving core processes, you are sure to double your performance improvements.

Management and improvement of end-to-end business processes is difficult and requires more than a simple, one-time effort. Continuous process improvement means a fundamental shift in leadership values and disciplined measurement and management of the value that processes create for customers and shareholders.

Those companies implementing business process management have learned that it can compress cycle times, reduce cost and improve responsiveness. However, if you treat BPM as a once-and-done project, you run the risk of suboptimal gains or the gradual erosion of initial gains. If you cut costs by automating the customer-inquiry process, for example, but don't go on to analyze, redesign and manage the larger order-to-cash process, you'll miss further gains simply because the root causes of many customer complaints stem from the larger, end-to-end process.

Business Process Management is a disciplined approach to identify, design, execute, document, monitor, control, and measure both automated and non-automated business processes to achieve consistent, targeted results consistent with an organization's strategic goals. BPM involves the deliberate, collaborative and increasingly technology-aided definition, improvement, innovation, and management of end-to-end business processes that drive business results, create value, and enable an organization to meet its business objectives with more agility.

Primarily, BPM is a process and a management discipline. Enabling technology is meaningless without the processes and management disciplines for exploiting the technology - in this case the tools for managing an organization’s business processes. BPM involves managing the end-to-end work that organizations perform to create value for their customers. The performance of this work is how organizations fulfill their mission. An entire industry has emerged around BPM, as organizations have recognized the importance of actively managing their business processes. Many organizations have also recognized a gap in the skills necessary to be effective at BPM.

Many companies have taken the first step towards Business Process Management by documenting existing processes, designing and implementing automated and streamlined approaches. Yet only about one third of self-proclaimed "process-oriented" companies go beyond these basics. BPM is not a once-and-done project; it is an ongoing discipline of continuous process improvement.
