1 Enterprise Transformation & the Evolution of BPM Paul Harmon Executive Editor Business Process Trends

2 Business Process Management (BPM) A comprehensive, strategic approach to organizing company change At the high-level, a management philosophy that emphasizes focusing on processes and process performance At the lower-level, a set of new tools and technologies that can facilitate better processes and more agile change

3 We Have Lots of Technologies to Use 1980s 1990's 2000s Management Porter's Value Chains Balanced Scorecard BPO Business Process Redesign Business Process Reengineering SCOR VCOR Performance Improvement Activity Based Costing Rummler-Brache Performance Improvement Quality Control Total Quality Management Six Sigma Lean SEI's CMM for IT Information Technology Business Rule Management Systems Workflow EAI Packaged Software (ERP, CRM) BPM Software Modeling Tools and Methodologies (CASE, UML, MDA)

11 The Business Process Architecture A key tool for process management A high-level overview of the value chains and key processes that make up the organization An alignment of strategic goals, value chains and key processes A clear-cut way to monitor the performance of the value chains and processes (KPIs) A BP Architecture is NOT an IT EA Architecture

12 BP Frameworks A BP Framework is a template for a BP Architecture It includes an process vocabulary, domain process models for at least 2-3 layers of processes, measures for processes, and best practices. BP Frameworks are set to revolutionize BP Architecture Development

13 The Supply Chain Council s SCOR The best example of the good horizontal BP architecture is provided by the Supply Chain Council s SCOR framework Created in past 5 years by consortium of some 700 companies Defines a top-down approach to organizing the BP architecture of a corporate supply chain process

14 SCOR MODEL: Level 1 Plan Supply Chain Source Make Deliver Return

15 One Value Chain Framework Level 0. Organization Divided into 4 Major Domains Resources Organization Design Chain Enabling Processes Business Development Customer Chain Customers Supply Chain Process Level 1 Processes Plan Plan Plan Plan Integrate Deliver Market Contact Research Design Amend Source Make Return Analyze Develop Revise Relate Sell Assist Level 2 Variations Level 2 Processes: New Technology, New Product, Product Revision Level 2 Processes: Made to Stock, Made to Order, Engineered to Order Level 2 Processes: Expansion, Extension, and Creation Level 3 Subprocesses in Relate to Named Account Level 2 Processes: Relate to Intermediary, Relate to Grouped Account, Relate to Named Account Level 3 Subprocesses R3.1 Receive, Validate & Approve R3.2 Assign Account Team R3.3 Define Engagement Model R3.4 Obtain Customer Needs R3.5 Establish Customer Profile R3.6 Publish Business Rules R3.7 Release to Sell Level 4 Activities Specific to Particular process and company Metrics and Best Practices for Subprocesses Tables for Each Process and Subprocess Information on specific metrics and best practices to implement this subprocess

16 OR Frameworks and 6 Sigma There are already efforts aimed at aligning SCOR and Lean Six Sigma They fit very naturally, since both are very oriented towards measurement and SCOR provides an ideal way to help Lean Six Sigma teams identify areas to focus on Several consulting companies are focusing on this effort

17 Another Aside: Frameworks and BP Maturity Organizations with an mature mastery of their processes. 1. Initial Combining a Framework with Six Sigma is a good way to deal with 5. A Framework Provides all of the basic structure and documentation to move an organization from 2.5 to Repeatable Basic project management processes are established to track cost, schedule, and functionality. The necessary discipline is in place to repeat earlier successes 3. Defined The process for both management and engineering is documented, standardized and integrated by an organization methodology 4. Managed Detailed measures of the process and product quality are collected. Both the process and products are quantitatively understood and controlled. 5. Optimizing Continuous process improvement is enabled by quantitative feedback for the process and from piloting innovative new ideals and technologies. Extending a Framework to support Packaged Applications, BPMS, or BAM will provide even stronger packages. The process is ad hoc. Few activities are explicitly defined and success depends on individual effort and heroics. Organizations with an immature mastery of their processes.

18 The Process-Centric Company Today Most companies want to move toward a more process-centric organization, but They are overwhelmed with changes With technologies that don t integrate With management and measurement systems that aren t designed for process They simply don t have the time and people to achieve a process-centric company if they approach it with first generation methods

19 What Is Needed? We need to move faster - Otherwise we get lost in the day-to-day details We need a comprehensive approach Otherwise we don t achieve enough alignment between the different technologies We need an approach that can appeal to both business and IT managers

20 Enterprise Transformation The challenge is the manage the enterprise using processes To do that we need to have an architecture that provides a complete picture of the enterprise and enterprise performance measures And we need a new methodology for Enterprise Transformation that combines all the tools we have into a new, more powerful approach.

23 The Need for Change

24 Must We Change? Change is not useful It is just an intellectual exercise to try to be different Customers don t care about change as long as we provide good service and quality, on time and for a reasonable, controlled price Employees will resist change Change is challenging, but necessary!

25 What Does the Economy & Environment Tell Us About Change? 75% of the product sold in a supermarket did not exist 7 years ago The time to launch a car ( from conception to sale ) has been reduced from 6 years to 36 months Internet sales were representing less than 2% in Europe 5 years ago, now it is covering 15% of the transactions The importations of textile from China have increased by 300% in Q Changes impact day to day life as well as our business, We must adapt to these changes to stay competitive!

26 Is Your Business Changing? On the template : 1 list the names of the 5 main customers you had 5 years ago 2 list the top 5 products & services contributing to your sales or revenue numbers 5 years ago 3 list the 5 main regions / countries you supplied 5 years ago 4 Do the same for the current situation ( 2004/5 ) 5 Calculate the % of change

27 Your Company s Evolution Main Customers Main Products Main Regions 5 years ago Today 5 years ago Today 5 years ago Today % change = ( nb items in order ) / 15 =

45 Enterprise Transformation Business Performance Execute Business Processes Define/ Adjust Strategy Enterprise Strategy Execution Cycle New/Enhanced Capabilities Business Objectives Implement Strategic Projects Enterprise Transformation is not easy Many challenges are faced translating strategy into results: How Do You? Systematically cascade corporate goals throughout the organization. Identify, prioritize and resource the thousands of strategic and operational projects needed to implement the strategy. Ensure that all strategic projects are driven to completion. Effectively embed the new/enhanced capabilities into the organization. Drive consistent execution of the new/redesigned business processes. Monitor achievement of the strategy and make changes mid-course as situation changes.
