  2. About This Work • This work is based on academic research published as: vom Brocke, J., Schmiedel, T., Recker, J., Trkman, P., Mertens, W., & Viaene, S. (2014). Ten Principles of Good Business Process Management.Business Process Management Journal (BPMJ), 2014. • You can access the full study via:http://my.uni.li/i3v/publikationen/00065700/03944267.PDF • Please feel free to use any of the material in these slides with reference to the original source.

  3. This work identifies ten principles which represent a set of capabilities essential for mastering contemporary and future challenges in BPM. The findings allow practitioners to comprehensively scopetheirBPMinitiativesand provide a generalguidancefor BPM implementation. The principles may also serve to tackle contemporary issues in other management areas. Management Summary Keywords: principles, business process management, BPM, research agenda

  4. Main Results – Overview (1/2)

  5. Main Results – Overview (1/2)

  6. 1. Principle of Context Awareness BPM requires consideration of the given organizational setting. Context Awareness assumes that there is no unique way of managing business processes. Questions to guide BPM research Which typical context factors determine BPM approaches? Which BPM approaches are effective in specific context? How can context- suitable BPM approaches be determined? Questions to guide BPM practice In what context is our BPM initiative set up? What factors characterize the context of application? What requirements can we derive from this context for the BPM initiative? Main Results (1/10)

  7. Main Results (2/10) 2. Principle of Continuity • Permanent practice that facilitates continuous gains in efficiency and effectiveness. • Avoiding BPM being a one-off change project, establish a process mindset. • Questions to guide BPM research • How do we sustain a BPM initiative? • How do we establish continuous improvement and innovation of business in the long run? • What is the overall agenda connecting different BPM project? • Questions to guide BPM practice • How do we sustain a BPM initiative? • How do we establish continuous improvement and innovation of business in the long run? • What is the overall agenda connecting different BPM project?

  8. Main Results (3/10) 3. Principle of Enablement • develop individual and organizational BPM capabilities • Ad- hoc solutions bear the risk o firefighting instead of long term solutions. • Questions to guide BPM research • What specific organizational capabilities are required to realize BPM? • How can these best be implemented? • Questions to guide BPM practice • What measures have we taken to develop capabilities in BPM? • Do we know what capabilities are needed in different areas of the organization? • How do we establish the required dynamic capabilities for BPM?

  9. Main Results (4/10) 4. Principle of Holism • BPM should be run throughout the value chain. • Holistic approach to comprise all important aspects across the entire company • Questions to guide BPM research • Which factors are necessary and which are sufficient for BPM success? • What are measurement criteria for these factors? • Questions to guide BPM practice • To what other business or management areas does our initiative relate? • Which of these areas need to be taken into account? • What synergies can we leverage?

  10. Main Results (5/10) 5. Principle of Institutionalization • The principle calls for embedding BPM in the organizational structure. • BPM roles and responsibilities ensure a more customer- centric, horizontal integration of work. • Questions to guide BPM research • Which governance structures are most effective in BPM programs? • What type of key performance indicators support BPM best? • Questions to guide BPM practice • Who takes ownership of BPM? • Which organizational structure supports BPM? • What are the incentives for our employees to engage in BPM?

  11. Main Results (6/10) 6. Principle of Involvement • All stakeholder groups who are affected by BPM should be involved. • Responsiveness of people and their true commitment is critical to the success of BPM. • The (re-) design process is likely to be more important than the final design. • Questions to guide BPM research • Does active involvement in process model creation change the use of process models? • What is the return on investment of involving vs. informing key stakeholders? • Questions to guide BPM practice • Which stakeholders are affected by our BPM initiative? • What are the specific preferences of these stakeholders? • How can their perspectives be considered to increase support?

  12. Main Results (7/10) 7. Principle of Joint Understanding • Introduce and sustain a common language allowing different stakeholders to view, frame and analyze organizational systems. • Process models should be simple and intuitive to create shared meaning and common understanding. • Questions to guide BPM research • Are process models a good mechanism to create joint understanding between business and IT? • Which elements of processes need to be understood? • Questions to guide BPM practice • What is a language all employees would understand? • What are essential concepts relevant in different business areas? • How can language gaps between different groups be bridged?

  13. Main Results (8/10) 8. Principle of Purpose • BPM as a management method to achieve organizational change and create value. • Create transparency about the business and the organizational system. • Questions to guide BPM research • What are configuration mechanisms to tailor BPM depending on purpose? • For which purpose should BPM not be applied? • Questions to guide BPM practice • What do we want to achieve with BPM? • What alternatives do we have? • How can we measure the gains of BPM?

  14. Main Results (9/10) 9. Principle of Simplicity • The amount of resources invested into BPM should be economical. • The simplest way of business processes help to achieve the BPM-related goals. • Questions to guide BPM research • What are BPM failure factors? • What is the tipping point for effort invested in BPM? • Which BPM activities contribute most to value-creation? • Questions to guide BPM practice • What BPM activities should we focus on? • How can we reduce effort in BPM? • What could happen if we stop supporting certain BPM activities?

  15. Main Results (10/10) 10. Principle of Technology Appropriation • BPM should make opportune use of technology, particularly IT. • Introducing IT as an after-thought it can jeopardize the continuity, the growth and the transformational capability of an whole enterprise. • Questions to guide BPM research • What are criteria to identify the appropriate BPM technology for a particular purpose? • What is the value of using a certain BPM technology vs. another? • Questions to guide BPM practice • Which technology is available to support a particular BPM purpose? • How can we make sure the technology gets used in this specific context? • How can we manage the organizational transformation that comes with the use of a new technology?

  16. Research Method (1/2) • The study builds on expert opinions and focus groups • 20 BPM experts, 10 from academia and 10 from practice • Integration of a complete range of viewpoints: • Researchers in the BPM domain from four universities worldwide and from diverse positions:three full professors, one assistant professor, two PhD post-graduates, and four PhD students • Managers in the area of BPM who represented 8 global companies from diverse industries: one from the automotive industry, two from banking, two from construction, two from engineering, one from healthcare, and two from logistics

  17. 8 steps to shape the viewpoint First focus group (academics and practitioners) 1. Shaping of joint BPM understanding 2. Identification of principles for good BPM 3. Clustering of the identified principles Second focus group (academics) 4. Identification of a linguistic reference model for the principles 5. Formulation of a principle for each cluster based on linguistic reference model 6. Refinement of the identified principles Follow-up group reflections (practitioners) 7. Reflection of the ten principles 8. Further refinement of the wording Research Method (2/2)
