Lessons learned from Business Process Management projects A lot of effort is invested in process optimization but the resulting changes are not always successfully implemented Some Reasons: People : process changes and process thinking is difficult to implement due to resistance Willingness to change: we are use to work like this, why change Capability: people need training and coaching Technology : It takes too long to implement improvements to core applications, being a blocking issue to improve processes within acceptable timeframes and budget Core applications lack workflow & dashboard functionality: Workflow is often supported by follow up xls sheets, mails Data are not available for measuring performance metrics (eg process leadtime, ) Business Process Automation tools (BPA) can help companies to make BPM initiatives more successful 6
