The achievement of an organization’s objectives through the

improvement, management and control of essential

business processes.

(Jeston and Nelis)

BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT IS NOT AN IT “TOY”IT HAS TO CLOSE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN IT AND BUSINESS

Patrick understands

The first rule of any technology is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency.The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.

(Bill Gates, Microsoft Corporation)

� Black Box Syndrome

� Looking at the edges

Syndrome

He knows what’s critical and what he needs to do

Regatta Metaphor

Speed ↔ EffectivenessBeing the fastest ↔ make processes more effective and efficient

EfficiencyUse energy + enthusiasm to realized desired result

↕

Everyone is contributing towards realizing desired result

BalanceMake sure boat doesn’t lean sideways or tip over

↕↕

Make sure all implementation aspects are considered

CohesionTeam rows as one, same rhythm and technique

↕

All implementation elements are in alignment

Process1st Oar, dictates speed to other rowers

↕

Business leads implementation, technology follows

ManagementSteers the boat in a straight line to finish, do not go off course

↕

Sets and maintains trajectory to meet desired results

Patrick wants to get it right!
