What is BPM?
Identifying and Differentiating Between Case Management and Traditional BPM
Defined Start Point
Defined End Points
In Between the Process Follows a Predefined Path or Otherwise Fails
Case Management Adapts to the Context of the Case, Guiding the Outcome Based on the Combination of Defined Goals, Rules/Policies, Data, and Application of Knowledge Worker Know-How.
Driving Compliance and ScalabilityThrough Measurable and Repeatable Processes
BPM Processes Are Deterministic, Where All Possible Paths Are Pre-Determined or Known in Advance, No Matter How Complex the Pathways May Be.
The Direction of the Process is Determined by the Pre-Defined Path and Current State; State is Determined by the Preceding Activity.
This is often critical for ensuring compliance and consistency – knowing work is done right each time.
End-to-End Processes Must Accommodate Both Orientations Within a Single Process
A Library of Process Fragments Can Be Called on to Automate Mundane
Tasks or Regulated Processes
An Event Occurs Which Launches a
New Process / Case
The Case is Completed
When Criteria is Met
Analytics Help Define How the
Case is Processed
Information is Captured and Added to the Case
Business Rules, Policies and Processes Are Run
Against Case Data
Ensuring continuity across multiple channels, including mobile devices
with inconsistent connectivity
Shift to “Intelligent BPM” and “Smart Processes” . . . Leveraging Rules / Policies, Goals and Intelligent Agents
More Agile Execution Models Allows for Adapting to Meet Goals, Rather Than Sticking Strictly to Predefined Paths
Allows Separating Automation of Mundane Tasks for Efficiency, While Keeping the Overriding Focus on Effectiveness
Customer-facing Processes Require BPM and Case Management
Accommodating More Comprehensive, Longer-livedDynamic Process Lifecycles
From Transactional (Control) to Data-Driven (Visibility)
“Data-Driven” = Shift to Information-Intensive, Adaptable Processes Driven by Analytics, Context, and External Events
Customer-facing Processes Require BPM and Case Management
Asking the Right Questions
Creating a Metrics-driven Culture
Setting Expectations for Growth NOT Cost Savings
Scaling the Program for Success
Picking the Right Starting Point
Top 5 “Must Do” Steps for Transforming Customer-facing Processes
How Will This Improve The Customer’s Experience?
Who Benefits From The New Process or System?
What Metrics Provide the Best Measurement of Success for This Process?
How Do We Engage Our Customers’ Perspective in the Understanding and Definition of the Business Process? (“voice of the customer”)
Are the Terms (vocabulary) Consistent and Mutually Understood?
How Many (which) Systems Need to be Accessed to Perform this Process?
Will the Users of the Process Measure Success the Same as Other Stakeholders and/or Sponsors? How is This Tested?
Asking the Right Questions of Your Team
Your Strategy. . . Develop a “Metrics Culture” Across Your Organization (not just your own team)• Know When and How Success Will be Measured
• Show Results Frequently and On Time
• Formalize Your Own Customer Experience Maturity Model (pick one, define one, but use it)
Your Strategy. . . Sell Your Program on Growth vs Cost• Know Your Metrics and Make Them Visible
• Target Growth Areas With Momentum
• Engage Customers Throughout – Directly and Through Stakeholders
Your Strategy. . . Scale Your Team With the Program• Start With Cross-Functional Team / Skillset
• Release Often – Results < 90 Days
• Create a Feedback Look for:Target -> Results -> Review -> Redeploy
•Get Started!
…Yet 54% of Projects Fail!*
Why?#3 – Lost Executive Sponsorship
#2 – Resistance by End Users & Stakeholders
#1 – Failure to Define Realistic Boundaries
Business Process Improvement is #1 Priority Today…
*source: BPM.com’s BPM Market Survey
Setting boundaries; avoid processes that:
√ are already well-defined,
√ are overly complex, or
√ are politically charged.
Look for opportunities and processes that are characterized as:
√ paper-intensive, involving tasks done on a frequent basis (daily),
√ lacking a rigid or controversial definition, and
√ having an immediate and measurably positive impact on customers, stakeholders and/or end users.

Real-World Examples
Let’s drill down into three key processes: issue management, specification change, and engineering support…
32

Issue Management: Opportunity
1. Ensure all quality, environmental and safety issues are handled quickly, consistently and compliantly.
2. Provide issue handling history to support a wide variety of audits.
3. Provide “one click” status and process improvement reporting capabilities.

Engineering Support Request
Situation:
Ad-Hoc process where Sales team requests support from the Engineering team (e.g. obtaining detailed data)
Excel Based – hard for Sales to access remotely, inconsistent tracking and status reporting for Engineering.
Opportunity:
Make it easier for Sales to request support from the engineering team
Allow Engineering to respond more quickly and assign the work
Allow business “Process Owner” to quickly adapt reporting and data collection “on-the-fly”
