Capabilities As A Pivot Point
Derek Miers, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research UK

Capabilities can represent the ways in which the firm delivers value to its customers. As such, they provide the glue for a wider BPM or performance improvement program. Firstly, through an initial assessment and prioritization exercise, capabilities provide the basis for effective engagement at the executive level, helping frame the overall initiative. Secondly, when viewed as the way of delivering outcomes that customers care about, capabilities can then act as the container for an individual BPM project. With appropriate guiderails, cross functional teams define the vision of that business level service, articulating an image of what's needed, from the outside-in. Based on that description, process architects are able to derive the processes needed to support that vision.

Key takeaways:

  • From strategic engagement to effective operational processes, this session outlines a set of pragmatic methods and tools to help you ensure alignment.
  • Anchors the perspective of the customer as a key tenet of architectural design - design processes outside-in.
  • Includes methods that help break the link between existing organizational structure and process architecture - a problem inherent in most BPM programs.
  • Provides an engagement framework for the rest of the business.
  • Supports "shared services" definition and other organizational structuring challenges.

A Design-led Approach to Business Architecture
Milan Guenther, Partner, enterprise design associates

Too often in a classic decision-centric management setting, "Business Requirements" as the basis for all further endeavours seem to just magically appear out of nothing and remain unquestioned, instead of being part of a larger vision and purposeful design of the business. One possible way to address this issue is using Design Thinking to generate a tangible vision.

This presentation showcases a design-led approach to business architecture. By looking at the business from a customer experience perspective, such a design captures a desired future state that in turn can be used to derive and model business processes, capabilities, decision rules and other architectural elements.

In short, this presentation covers:

  • The value of asking visual "what if" questions and narratives in initial modelling
  • Envisioning and prototyping the future to turn a vision into tangible scenarios and dialogues
  • Transitioning a design to systemic analysis and business architecture modelling

The Future to Translating Tomorrow into Today
Shaan Watkins, Head: Platform Solutions, STANLIB Asset Management Ltd

In the changing world, organisations are faced with the increasing pace and amount of change that is required to stay ahead of the pack. During the strategic thinking process decisions are made which can change the landscape within organisations. These changes can be all encompassing and threatening to internal and external stakeholders. STANLIB was faced with little real-time management information, the service levels were lower than the industry average because we had become too risk averse and the skills levels of our staff were low which led to poor quality and poor service delivery. On the other side our IT and architecture systems had become outdated, change was difficult to implement and our online transactability was not at an acceptable level. To make things more challenging, our competitors were continually coming up with new and innovative ideas.

Drastic change was required...

STANLIB embarked on this journey 18 months ago. Part of this change is a make over of its enterprise architecture and the rethinking of its business processes and rules. The key drivers are business agility, simplicity, flexibility, transactability which will lead to Increased efficiency, cost effectiveness and closer alignment between the business and IT. STANLIB has gone through a comprehensive and thorough process to select the appropriate vendors to champion key aspects of the change programme. Change in its self is a threatening thought. Embarking on such a change requires strong change leadership as it can lead to lower productivity, staff resistance, high staff turn over, poor implementation and the worst of all the failure of the project. STANLIB are managing change on a continual basis to ensure that the most effective ways are found to deliver the programme successfully. The session will cover

  • Translating tomorrow into today
  • Problems organisations are presented with
  • Embarking on the journey to change
  • Change leadership
  • Questions and Answers

The Essentials of Process Analysis and Lean Six Sigma
Peter Matthijssen, Consultant / Trainer, BiZZdesign

Demanding customers and a competitive environment force organizations to work smarter and be more efficient. To achieve this, a growing number of organizations use analytical BPM methods like Lean Management and Six Sigma. Not only industrial organizations benefit from these methods and techniques, but also in financial, utility, governmental and healthcare sectors the improvement techniques have proven to be powerful!

So: Process Analysis and Lean Six Sigma (LSS) have a lot of potential for almost any organization. But: How do you start? In this session we will look at case studies of various organizations:

  • How did they choose a method?
  • How did they get management support?
  • What are their best practices?
  • What are their financial results?
  • What other results did they achieve?
  • What can we learn?

  • Used a PMI to rebuild our Enterprise Architecture for future growth
  • Harmonized global Business Processes and Data Management
  • Implemented a global business performance reporting solution
  • Used the new platform to start a new business model (B2C)

BPM's Achilles Heel: Managing and Improving Knowledge-intensive Business Processes
Oyku Isik, Assistant Professor in ICT and Business Process Management, The Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School

Today, most of what is discussed in the BPM field focuses on transactional Business Processes. Few people, however, answer the tough questions on information requirements of knowledge-intensive business processes (KIBPs) that have significant impact on the overall well-being of the organization. Hence, it is critical to understand the challenges associated with maintaining and improving KIBPs. This session aims to provide a framework that distinguishes KIBP from transactional processes, in terms of information requirements. Specifically, we aim to answer;
  • How KIBP differ from other types of processes,
  • What kind of information is needed to manage and improve KIBPs
  • How to work with this information, without getting lost in the data
  • How to institutionalize collecting and using that information?

Achieving Breakthrough Performance Improvement through BPM in the British Army
Col. Giles Baxter, Assistant Director Manpower Systems, British Army Directorate of Manning

Unlike most organisations, the British Army only recruits from the bottom. Yet personnel can serve for 34 years or more. Its manpower costs exceed £4.7Bn per year. So we need to get our workforce planning absolutely spot on. 5 years ago, the British Army embarked upon a major programme, driven by senior management, to re-engineer its workforce planning system - its processes, organisation, staff skills, data, and supporting information systems. 'It cannot be done' some said. But the results have been spectacular - 'productivity' up by a 1000  %; a 10:1 return on investment running into £millions; response times to meet request for information from senior management reduced from days to minutes, and usually right first time; forecasts of expenditure to an accuracy of 0.5 % or better over a year.

The presentation will cover:

  • The challenge - what needed to be fixed
  • Our business objectives
  • Our methodology
  • The changes we have made - and have yet to make
  • Benefits realized
  • Where we went wrong and what we learned

Actionable Architecture: Strategic Synergies between BPM, EA and SOA
Claus Jensen, Chief Architect, IBM

Today's global environment requires businesses to work smarter and to improve the coordination between planning and execution to continuously improve business processes and optimize costs. While Business Process Management (BPM) and Enterprise Architecture (EA) each have value on their own, they are also naturally synergistic, and together provide better business outcomes and strategic alignment of business and IT. When done together in an SOA context, BPM provides the business understanding, metrics and execution environment, and EA provides the discipline for translating business vision and strategy into architectural change. Both are needed for sustainable continuous optimization.
  • The value of making architecture actionable
  • The key enablers for actionability
  • How to approach actionable architecture organizationally and practically
  • How to leverage the SOA, BPM and EA synergies in practice
  • How to achieve strategic objectives with reduced risk and cost

BP Governance and The BPM CoE: How do you Manage Management?
Roger Burlton, BPTrends Associates
Governance is on the minds of organizations everywhere these days. The same is true for those in the business of business processes. Recognizing that processes have lives that require optimal performance and effective change management means that we need not only a way of managing daily activities but also of managing the process choices, designs and investments themselves. Although this is a new concept in many organizations, there are some established frameworks and standard roles that are emerging. This session will introduce some of these. It will also deal with the concept of a Centre of Expertise for BPM that supports those in the business trying to build BPM abilities and put in place an internal services group to help.
  • Maturity levels for BPM
  • Readiness for Governance
  • Some Governance Models
  • Cases of Governance Implementations

One of the tasks of the Dutch Health care insurance board (CVZ) is to manage the processes in which a number of institutions collaborate to deliver the needed care for clients.All institutions have their own responsibilities in this chain.For the interaction points between these institutions the CVZ developed specific e-messages which contain relevant information for each party.To manage the complexity in the project we have developed and used a model in which process, data and business rules are structured and maintained.The model is published on the Internet and used by various stakeholders.This new way of communicating has resulted in a greater adaptivity to changes and shorter development times for the various supporting software products.
  • Practical use of a BPM process-model
  • BPM to communicate with large numbers of stakeholders
  • PM to reduce complexity

Respect as an Architectural Issue: a Case Study in Business Survival
Tom Graves, Principal, Tetradian

The client: a large bank in Latin America. The business problem: loss of respect of the company in the market and the broader community, plummeting from highest to lowest in the region in a matter of months, with impacts throughout all aspects of the business. This real-life case study explores, step-by-step, the actual practices and underlying architecture principles that were used to tackle a major strategic issue with enterprise-wide scope, and set the groundwork for subsequent process development.

Key takeaways from this presentation include:

  • How architecture concepts and principles may be usefully applied far beyond IT alone
  • How enterprise architecture supports business strategy and business process management
  • How enterprise architecture facilitates communication between disparate stakeholders from every area of the business
