Product Description

Product Description

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.
Learn the concepts and transform your business!

  • Define your stakeholders and determine their needs.
  • Discover what other organizations have done to manage processes successfully.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great toolkit for change practitioners, 13 Dec 2001
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars consultant/guru pap?, 27 Jul 2006
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a definite must have in your BPM toolkit., 4 Nov 2002
By steve towers (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Rogers new book is notable for a number of reasons. It presents the subject of Business Process Management with a practical 'can do' approach that will appeal to organisation leaders and practitioners alike. It's direct style is accessible and provides a framework which leads both the reader and the BPM implementer through a tried and tested approach harnessing people, process and technology.
