Creating Value With BPMN: A Business Users Perspective

Creating Value With BPMN: A Business Users Perspective

Author(s):

President, Perfect Pages

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.

Organizations have grown so complex in recent years that it is difficult to visualize or understand how all of the parts fit together. At the same time, executives want to reshape and transform their organizations to be more competitive and more customer centric. This requires that executives across business units view issues and solutions from a shared, enterprise-wide perspective. Business Architecture maps and documents the essence of the enterprise. Visualizing a business through architectural disciplines is not entirely new.

Manage Enterprise Change with Business Architecture

Manage Enterprise Change with Business Architecture

Author(s):

Sr. Enterprise Architect, United Airlines

Business Architecture is never as critical as during times of great change. Great change shifts the very enterprise structures on which we usually rely to manage most other change. It can alter organizational structures, such as during mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and restructurings. It can alter process structures, such as during major system implementations, corporate initiatives, and regulatory imperatives. While times of sweeping change are unavoidable, the quality and speed with which we manage change determines our success.
