In a recent article at BP Trends, Frits Bussemaker takes a moment to look at some of the thought processes that maybe holding back the full and successful implementation of BPM. He begins the article by pointing out that BPM is very much a change management discipline.
He continues by making observations that could potentially be road blocks in your implementation to BPM. First, he observes that for the most part, the word process has a negative connotation, and those outside the BPM world see it that way. They associate BPM with a long process and unnecessary actions.
A second issue he observed was that many business managers have no desire to streamline an organization, even if they understand what BPM can do. They often see it as a threat to what they’re doing and how many people they’re managing.
Bussemaker concludes the article by stating that organizations currently transitioning into centralized process organization, they need to “Think Ahead, Stay Small!”. He goes ahead to state that staying small is not about size, the but mentality to which organizing business processes is handled. A company must staying flexible or agile, recognizing the need to connect and collaborate, staying focused on the core business, staying lean and mean, and being personal and intimate.
