Where is the Customer in your BPM Initiative

The application of Business Process Management (BPM) is known to have multiple benefits that produce a hard return on investment (ROI). Automation, quality, compliance, management, and optimization of activities represented by business processes are the areas most often cited in this regard. Yet the focus of BPM started – and remains – as an “inside-out” perspective, placing hard limits on the benefits BPM can achieve.

Getting it together

Your car is German. Your vodka is Russian. Your pizza is Italian. Your kebab is Turkish and your democracy is Greek. Your coffee is Brazilian and your movies are American. Your tea is Tamil and your shirts are from India. Your oil is Saudi and your electronics are Chinese. Your news is British and your love is French. Your numbers are Arabic and your letters Latin. Your music is ethnic and your home is family. And yet you complain that your neighbor is an immigrant?

We are all in this together. So let’s smile, join hands and get on with it.

PEX conference rocks the USA - video, case studies and winners

The PEX USA event provides the community with an opportunity to share and learn from each other. 2014 really moved the agenda forward with many case studies featuring the migration of process thinking towards successful customer outcomes.
For an overview of the key themes reference the article by Diana Davies.

In addition to great sessions and workshops the Annual Awards program provided an opportunity for global organizations to show their approaches and share the success stories.

 Central to the Awards process is the judging panel who review throughout the previous 12 months tremendous entries. The video is an overview of 2014 proceedings.

You can review the entries, winners and runner-ups here. It is worth noting that across the eight categories the 15 winners were represented by six entries featuring BP Group Certified Process Professional Masters. Just shows how far we have traveled on the journey from industrial age thinking towards 'the Customer Experience is the Process'. More to come I am sure :)

In the next article on www.successfulcustomeroutcomes.net we will feature two of the winners - Singtel and The Nature Conservancy.
