Making the case for OpEx and BPM
The integration of Operational Excellence, which relies on a proven, systematic set of tools in Lean Six Sigma, and Business Process Management (BPM), which relies on a systemic view and a technology enabled approach is likely to create greater value for both customers and the company. The integration and consolidation of these two approaches to process improvement will not only identify and eliminate waste, it will also align and better utilize information systems, promote cross departmental collaboration and keep the customer front and center throughout.
BPM Salary Survey – A comparative analysis
A must read for business analysts, business process analysts, business process managers, business process designers and business architects.

Business Transformation & Process Management
Organizations are undergoing major transformations – to shift to digital business, become more customer-centric, and keep pace with regulatory changes. Any transformation impacts business processes, often requiring dramatic changes to how people work. Yet over 70% of transformation initiatives fail. Process management practitioners can change that and directly contribute to the success of their organization’s initiative by applying the latest process thinking, techniques and technologies to innovate and drive change.
Listen to Marc Kerremans discuss what you’ll learn at Gartner’s London Business Transformation & Process Management Summit.

Process management practitioners can defy these odds by applying the latest process and change management thinking, techniques and technologies.
