Balanced Approach to Process Metrics
As business process management understanding matures within organizations, new challenges will arise. Sometimes it helps to know how other disciplines have addressed similar issues as it avoids the “reinventing the wheel” syndrome. For the last decade forward thinking organizations have conducted reviews of their business processes and taken steps to streamline them, i.e., minimize the “handoffs” between business units. For publicly traded companies, Sarbanes-Oxley has increased the complexity of business processes and prevented the streamlining of certain processes.

Creating Value With BPMN: A Business Users Perspective
There has been a lot of debate lately about the usefulness of BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) to business managers. Some say that it’s too complicated and unintuitive and that it’s better suited to IT people. Others say business managers must spend time learning to read BPMN notation to find it more useful. Then there are those who say they use a sub-set of BPMN symbols to simplify models so that business managers can understand them. What’s more, little is said in the debate about the process modeller’s skills.
