PROCESS MANAGEMENT CONSULTING
Guided by the globally recognized BPM CBOK methodology, our consultants provide tailored advice and strategies to align your processes with strategic goals, ensuring optimal efficiency and sustainable success.
For any organization, a process is an invaluable asset requiring thorough maintenance—comparable to equipment or buildings. Successful entities like Amazon, Apple, Google, Tesla, Toyota and etc. not only craft unique processes but also actively manage them. For the effective management of any organization, we identify three key management objects, the resource distribution between which is the cornerstone in success for changes in operational activities: People, Processes, and Technologies.
Whether you’re a specialist, manager, executive, business owner, or part of an aspiring startup, every organization harbors processes. The strategic management of these processes significantly influences long-term business results, regardless of organizational size.
Despite the proven effectiveness of process management, organizations often grapple with fundamental questions:
- How can we create a value chain and identify processes aligning with strategic goals? How do we prioritize them effectively?
- How can we develop initiatives to change business processes, ensuring alignment with strategic goals and robust implementation monitoring?
- How can we ensure the efficient implementation of process change initiatives, considering organizational culture, regulatory constraints, and existing technology infrastructure?
- How do we develop a continuous improvement system to manage process changes across the organization efficiently, especially when resources are limited?
3 major components of BPM strategy
People. Involves individuals contributing to or affected by the process, including employees, managers, and customers. Adopting a strategic approach to integrate diverse roles seamlessly is important for successfull changes in processes.
Process. Encompasses the tasks and workflows constituting the process, leading to a desired outcome. Strategic understanding of distinct business processes and their alignment with overarching objectives is crucial.
Technology. Encompasses software, systems, equipment and tools facilitating the process. This includes a spectrum of applications, automation platforms, or dedicated BPM software for efficient process enablement and changes in processes.
