Steps to BPM Governance

Business Process Management (BPM) Governance is a vital component for any organization looking to continually improve, yet many find it challenging to implement effectively. But fear not! This series is here to provide you with insightful and practical guidance on how to structure governance teams that ensure robust oversight, stability, and long-lasting success.

My first article in this series, Steps to Governance, spells out the specific required activities that must be addressed within any expansive BPM program with multiple applications, like many of our clients. I recommend being proactive with building these structures as your program is growing to that state.

The article includes a discussion of roles and responsibilities for activities such as:

• Providing a catalogue of the business justifications used to gather funding for existing BPM projects, to be shared as examples for other project teams seeking funding
• Assessing your program's maturity, such as our Digital Transformation Maturity model
• Litigating between business units or even product owners when a shared technical platform may need foundational changes
• Proactive tracking of Return on Investment (ROI) for completed projects

Governance team responsibilities can vary based on corporate culture and specific needs, so our articles offer a flexible framework to help you navigate your BPM governance journey with confidence and clarity - regardless of the technology used.
