Does the following strike a chord? Let’s consider the following all too common scenario –
"As with many companies, the recent recession has forced cut back on costs. "The low hanging fruit" in terms
of the most obvious cost cutting initiatives have already been taken. Consulting companies have been hired to
help re-structure the enterprise and optimise therefore expediting business recovery. However, despite all
efforts, business change for the better is still slow. What do we do next?"
Why are there still massive opportunities to improve
Although many in Western economies are in a
business performance in companies that have been through
state of denial, we are undergoing the greatest

reorganization in the business world since the

Although now starting to change, most companies have not yet noticed it yet, there is a loud and clear wake-up

across the globe.
Our Company Structures
Most companies have a functional structure with “division of --Peter Fingar
labour” fundamental that has changed little since the industrial Executive Partner, Greystone Group
revolution. Functional silos grow and change over time to address Author of Extreme Competition: Innovation and
the demands placed on them within the company. The original the Great 21st Century Business Reformation
consequence of ‘labour division’ was a 240 times productivity
improvement. The fundamentals of company structure still exist largely unchanged today and have now
become the biggest reason why companies are underperforming or failing.
98% of the workforce of most organisations have either no contact with the customer or have only a limited
understanding of the customer, their drivers and what he/she really needs. Under the existing division of
labour principles, why should they? They have to do a job within the company and either answer to or deliver
something to somebody else within the company – the concept of “the internal customer”. Over time the
demands on the functional silos change – this may be to improve quality, reduce defects or improve a service
to what the internal customer states is required. Because 98% of the workforce are divorced from the
customer base then the only measures of success that can be used is the requirements for improvement as
defined internally.

Overlay the more, cheaper, faster, better quality demands and the focus is firmly fixed on “inside-out”
thinking looking at process change in the traditional domain. Companies traditionally have tried to combat “In Search Of BPM Excellence :
Straight from the thought leaders (2006)”
this by using “voice of the customer” and other techniques which leave only very limited insight – the

2. problem for the 98% of us focussing on the internal customer we simply are just not aware what is missing!!
Is this a problem? Well, simply – YES. Because of the focus on what we are doing and trying to deliver or
please the people we are answerable to – the internal customer then we are doing lots of things that do not
contribute to what the customer – ie the person who pays for the goods and services - really needs. That’s Enterprise BPM
inefficiency that none of the existing Enterprise Performance Improvement methodologies have been able to Workshop
identify or drive out. The vast majority of companies are carrying out a huge amount of work that is simply » Ghana » Poland
not contributing to what the customer needs adding complexity, cost and ultimately service. » France » Russia

» Belgium » South Africa
Change in Customer Behaviour
The customer base whether it be the corporate or the individual consumer now has access to choice at
unprecedented levels. We can obtain information or advice on almost anything at the press of a button and
whereas we used to be restricted to either what or where we buy, the world has become a global
supermarket for pretty well every product or service available. Economic globalisation has compounded the
problem as trade barriers between nations and regions are effectively dismantled. In some industries supply
effectively exceeds demand with the only apparent differentiator being price. The view that customer focus
should be packing in as much of what a customer wants into a product/service without killing the cost base is
fortunately a complete fallacy. The companies who align their structures, processes and capability
most closely to what the customer actually needs (not “wants” – discussed later) are likely to sell
more than their competitors. Customers are becoming more informed about alternative options. They are
more likely to change allegiance. They are more likely to rebel if they don’t get what they perceive they
want/need. This applies to all industries whether we are selling insurance products or building submarines.
Pace of Change in Producing New Capability
The pace of change and accelerated technology advances means new products/services or variants are being
produced increasingly quicker as most companies try to compete in this new but constantly evolving
landscape. We observe this every day and its placing a huge pressure on our organisations. This increased
capability/reduced price and reduced time to market is now a factor in virtually every one of our industries.
We have to compete, because if we don’t then the customer base will quickly find those organisations that
can and they will stop buying. Most companies address this by using traditional techniques to produce
better/cheaper/faster without realising there are huge opportunities sitting “under their nose” if only they
could look at their business through a different “set of glasses”.
And to the Programme?
The enterprises are exploring modular architecture to isolate their
business processes from their applications, which gives them the flexibility
to add, upgrade or replace applications in their information technology
environment without redefining all of their process interfaces.
The business process management (BPM) market at $1.0 billion in 2005 is
expected to more than triple to $3.8 billion by 2012. The services oriented
architecture (SOA) market at $450 million in 2005 is expected to grow
rapidly through 2012, reaching $3.2 billion.
One of the most challenging issues in BPM is not the question of "If" it is the question of "How." This two-day
program will focus on how to do design and implement efficient and effective business processes, to more
effectively support the way our enterprises are adapting.
Learn from the lessons from decades of real experience with real (and successful) BPM initiatives for taking
BPM from promise to practice. This will be great primer for beginners and will provide new insight & fresh
ideas for people with experience in BPM.
Rest assured, you will never think about business in the same way again. Learn new methods
which you can take back and apply immediately into your organisation.
