Business Process Management
 Business process management (BPM) is a holistic management approach
focused on aligning all aspects of an organization with the wants and needs of
clients.
 Business process management (BPM) is a systematic approach to making
an organization's workflow more effective, more efficient and more capable
of adapting to an ever-changing environment.
 A business process is an activity or set of activities that will accomplish a
specific organizational goal.
 The goal of BPM is to reduce human error and miscommunication and
focus stakeholders on the requirements of their roles.
7
Business Performance Management
 Business performance management is a set of management and analytic
processes that enable the management of an organization's performance to
achieve one or more pre-selected goals.
 Business performance management is contained within approaches to
business process management.
 Business performance management has three main activities:
1. Selection of goals,
2. Consolidation of measurement information relevant to an
organization’s progress against these goals, and
3. Interventions made by managers in light of this information with a
view to improving future performance against these goals.

BPM – SaaS solutions
 Business Process Management (BPM) Software-as-a-service (SaaS), or
“software on-demand”, is business management software that is typically
deployed offsite by the vendor, and is accessed via the internet.
 The software may also be installed on a company’s own internal servers
and accessed via an intranet or internet. SaaS uses cloud technology whereby
multiple end-users, management, and IT access shared resources, software
and information.
 Vendors offering SaaS often provide both shared and dedicated resources
(hardware and software), and support a multi-tenant architecture. Licenses are
administered on a pay-as-you-go, or per user, basis.

Overall Trends in BPerfM




More enterprises move to cloud
Vendors wake up to virtualization
Performance benchmarks shift to competition
Introduction of new choices
Round Table Discussion Points

Best Practices in BPerfM and BProcM

Create inventory:






External organizations on KPI:




Identify 6-10 high level “core” processes (order to cash, idea to launch, etc)
Identify executives involved in managing these today
Ask what are they measuring today and how are they using it?
What decisions do they want to make but don’t have metrics today for it?
Try to show whether the metrics are aligned to a single process goal or compete
against each other?
KPI Library
APQC
HIMMS (Healthcare Info Mgmt)
Group consensus building – what is goal of process, then find KPI that
support it – use template to rank everyone’s first, second, third priority
to show team consensus
Round Table Discussion Points

Creating a Process Framework:


Facilitated discussion
Use of industry frameworks:




APQC Process Framework
Value-Chain.org
BPM incubator
Need to continual draft, present, communicate concept of
framework – everyone has different perspective of process start/end,
level of detail, etc.



Only map a process if you want to improve it..
Which ones are a priority?
Process has to be end-to-end and not functional or task level
