Chapter 2 Key Concepts 1 Business Process Management (BPM) is a disciplined approach to identify, design, execute, document, measure, monitor, and control both automated and non-automated business processes to achieve consistent, targeted results consistent with an organization’s strategic goals. 2 BPM involves the deliberate, collaborative and increasingly technology-aided definition, improvement, innovation, and management of end-to-end business processes that drive business results, create value, and enable an organization to meet its business objectives with more agility. 3 It enables an enterprise to align its business processes to its business strategy leading to effective overall company performance through improvements of specific work activities either within a specific department, across the enterprise, or between organizations. 4 A process is a defined set of activities or behaviors performed by humans or machines to achieve one or more goals. 5 There are three types of business processes: primary, support and management. · Primary processes are cross-functional in nature and make up the value chain. · Support processes such as human resources and IT enable other processes. · Management processes are used to measure, monitor and control business activities. Management processes ensure that primary and supporting processes meet operational, financial, regulatory, and legal goals. 9
Key Concepts 6 BPM Critical Success Factors include the following: · alignment of business strategy, value-chain definitions, and business processes · establishment of enterprise and business unit goals to meet business strategy · development of action plans and business tactics to successfully meet the organization’s goals · assignment of executive sponsorship, responsibility, authority and accountability for processes leading to attainment of goals · assignment of clear process ownership along with authority to engineer change · establish metrics, measure, and monitor process · institutionalize practices such as continuous improvement investigations, change management, change controls, and proper leverage of BPM products and tools that lead to improvements and change · standardize and automate business processes and related methodologies across the enterprise 10
Key Concepts 7 BPM is a professional discipline made up of eight sub-disciplines: Modeling, Analysis, Design, Performance Measurement, Transformation, Organization, Enterprise Process Management and Technology. 8 The four cornerstones of BPM are Values, Beliefs, Leadership, and Culture. 9 The BPM lifecycle includes Planning and Strategy followed by Analysis, Design and Modeling, Implementation, Monitoring, and Controlling thereby leading to Refinement. 10 Key factors impacting the BPM lifecycle are organization, process definition, responsibility, sponsorship, measurement, awareness, alignment, information technology, and BPM methodology. 11 A key element of BPM is the identification and definition of computing financial and operational controls. Achieving successful adherence to these controls requires the design, testing, implementation, and monitoring of control activities. 11

Chapter 3 Summary & Key Concepts 1. Process models are simplified representations of some business activity. 2. A process model serves as a means to communicate several different aspects of a business process. 3. Process models are used to document, analyze or design a business model 4. Process models are useful as documentation, a means for communication and alignment, design and requirements, or a means to analyze aspects of the process, training, and explanation. 5. Different levels or perspectives of business processes are expressed by models showing different scopes and levels of detail for different audiences and purposes 6. There are many different styles of process modeling notation and ways to develop process models. 5/5/2009 13 13
