Gartner Definition of Business Process Management 4 "BPM is a management discipline that treats business processes as assets to be valued, designed and exploited in their own right. It is a structured approach employing methods, policies, metrics, management practices and software tools to manage and continuously optimize an organization's activities and processes. It aims to improve agility and operational performance. - Gartner

Accelerating Maturity, Increasing Value It is not unusual for an organization to start its process management journey by undertaking process documentation, process improvement, and/or process automation projects. These efforts can yield significant tactical benefits by improving a specific activity or set of activities in an organization. As the value of improving processes becomes more apparent, some organizations develop a systematic way to address the entire set of processes so the value from process efforts can be maximized. This is the beginning of serious Business Process Management. 7 Global Process Innovation can help you progress from wherever you are on the maturity curve.

At Global Process Innovation, to discuss BPM capability we rely on this adaptation* of a BPM Capability Model that is part of the Innovation Value Institute s Information Technology Capability Maturity Framework. It may seem a lot to take on, but our approach keeps it simple and tailored to client needs. BPM Capability Model 9 Category Capability building block Description Foundation Application BPM Organization and Personnel BPM Standards and Methods BPM Technologies Stakeholder Management and Communication Scope of Implementation Process Architecture Process Governance Process Improvement Process Automation The structure, competencies, resource levels, and roles and responsibilities of personnel involved with the governance, development, dissemination, and implementation of processrelated standards, methods and technologies. The set of standards and methods that foster effective process management, including a glossary, modelling and notation standards, modelling and improvement methods, governance structures and practices, assessment of implementation effectiveness, and measurement of value. Technologies for documenting, organizing, evaluating, and supporting the execution of the organisation s activities. The management of communications with business and IT stakeholders about process management approaches, success stories, lessons learned, potential value opportunities, and value realized. The organizational context in which BPM is being used including the range of processes being addressed. Structure and documentation of processes, including names, definitions, objectives, roles, flows and relationships. Development and implementation of principles, policies, roles, responsibilities, and measures for process governance and ownership. This also includes alignment of process management with planning and implementation activities of the organization. The use of evaluation, redesign and improvement methods to drive change in processes. The use of technologies to simulate, eliminate, automate, monitor, and optimise steps in a process. * The adaptation is a generalization of the second category from one having an IT orientation to one that applies to any organizational entity or function; also, spelling has been Americanized.
One of the Keys to Success: Integrating BPM into Business Planning 10 From a 2010 McKinsey paper*: the real game changers will be breakthrough innovations created by companies: history shows that a majority of productivity growth more than two-thirds comes from product and process innovation. Through annual planning activities, management addresses investment in assets facilities, products, people, IT. Processes also need to be recognized as valuable assets to be managed. Ideally, performance targets and projects related to processes will be included in the business plan and discussed regularly in management reviews.
