By: Michael zur Muehlen
Learn about BPM and BPMN from the Experts
The executive seminar features two world-class experts on BPM discussing strategic and operational aspects of Business Process Modeling and Improvement. It addresses the needs of public and private organizations that want to strengthen and improve their Process Management capabilities. It covers topics relevant for IT staff that is participating in BPM initiatives, business personnel involved in process modeling projects, and executives involved in process management and strategic development projects.
The BPM Challenge
Business projects all circle around the notion of change and improvement. Improving their business processes is on top of the agenda for all chief and senior executives. Increasing effectiveness and efficiency of current business structures depends on a solid understanding of current and future business processes and their contribution to current and future business needs. Business Process Management (BPM) is the set of concepts, methods and tools surrounding the definition, implementation, execution and improvement of organizational processes. The demand for BPM is stimulated by opportunities related to ongoing process performance improvement, process outsoucing/offshoring and the interest in process standards such as ITIL and SCOR. Not surprisingly, global analysts such as the Gartner Group have identified Business Process Management as the number one priority of CIOs for a number of years.
BPMN
Business Process Modeling is a way to increase the transparency and understanding of business processes in order to develop and appreciate ënewí options for improving them. The Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) has been developed to meet the demand for an industry business process modeling standard that satisfies the expectations of involved business and IT stakeholders. Is is designed to result in intuitive diagrams and to serve as a foundation for executable processes. The emergence of BPMN has triggered substantial interest in practitioner communities and has raised a need for comprehensive education programs in how to apply BPMN to process management initiatives.
