Lessons learned from Business Process
Management projects
• A lot of effort is invested in process optimization but the resulting changes are not always successfully implemented…
• Some Reasons:– “People”: process changes and process thinking is difficult to implement due to
resistance• Willingness to change: we are use to work like this, why change …• Willingness to change: we are use to work like this, why change …• Capability: people need training and coaching …
– “Technology” : • It takes too long to implement improvements to core applications, being a blocking issue to
improve processes within acceptable timeframes and budget …• Core applications lack workflow & dashboard functionality:
– Workflow is often supported by follow up xls sheets, mails …– Data are not available for measuring performance metrics (eg process leadtime, …)
Business Process Automation tools (BPA) can help companies to makeBPM initiatives more successful
