Product Description

Product Description

This is the eBook version of the printed book.

Business processes are the production lines of the new economy. When they fail us, our products and services fail our customers, and our business fails its owners. The more businesses change, the more they must concern themselves with their stakeholder relationships and manage their processes so that technologies and organization designs have a common business purpose. This book shows you how to deliver integral processes and helps you build a fully process-managed enterprise.
The Process Management Framework provides the strategic guidance and tactical steps to make the switch. Encompassing eight phases, the Framework migrates organizational and process transformation through strategy, design, realization, and actual operations. For each phase, this book provides detailed descriptions of the steps, their inputs, outputs, guides, and enablers, as well as the tricks, traps, and best practices learned by experienced practitioners. It also covers the related disciplines of managing programs, risk, quality, projects, and human change, and how process management is the key to ensure a fit among all these areas. For those of you about to embark on a process journey, this book provides a compelling call to action, a guide for management, and an invaluable reference.

Format:Paperback
Many books approach this subject with wonderous case studies and amazing stories of success. Sadly they lack the practical aspects of change and leave the reader none the wiser on how organisations have addressed their problems and delivered massive benefits through business process based transformation.

This book takes you step by step through the all stages of business transformation. Detailed walktroughs of each component of a successful transition are provided, with a good mix of text, figures and facilitation material.

It is readable, upbeat and easy to approach on a chapter by chapter basis.

Any reader of Harvard Business Review would take value from it, change practitioners would find it a one-stop toolkit, managers exposed to large-scale change (are there any who aren't?) should find it equips them with an overview of what the men in suits are doing.

After reading the review by the BPM consultant, I had to add my own as I just didn't recognise this book in his description.

I spent a decade inside a leading fast moving consumer goods company. Their Change Framework is based on Roger Burlton's framework, described in this book. I've seen hundreds of people use this highly practical framework on real business process change projects and I have to say that it works. Not only that, but when we asked people in the organisation to rate the framework against others they had used elsewhere, it came out top.

My copy of this book is rather battered as I use it so much. I take it around the world with me when I work with people to help them make their process projects work. It's an incredibly practical book with great hints, tips and examples and is, in my view, what people need to make process change work. It has certainly worked for me.

consultant/guru pap? 27 July 2006
Format:Paperback
This book contains a bit too much consultant/guru pap, which you will hear for free when the BPM consultancy comes to sell you the solution and during the 1st part of the deployment to appease your alarm at why things are taking so long.

If you are high up in the corporate food chain (just beyond the point where you lost touch with what the people on the ground are really doing) then you can bathe in the re-assuring calm of this book's BPM suite pre-sales and pre-reality pitch.

You can be reminded of subjects such as Change Management, project management, business risk and the 'looks good on paper' fad framework touted. You can get most of this stuff my keeping up your subscription to the HBR.

If you really want to wake up and smell the coffee read:

The Third Wave.

If you already have your helmet on and are taking incoming fire on the business process front on the other hand...

For a practical book on process modelling that is really going to help you and is worth the paper it is printed on I recomend:

Workflow Modelling, tools for process improvement and application development, Alec Sharp and Patrick McDermott.
