  3. Governance: What, Why, When, How • What is governance? • Governance is derived from a Greek word which means “to steer” • System of policies, rules, and controls • Provides models and methods for direction, coordination, and control of the organization • Why is BPM governance important? • When is BPM governance needed? • When in the BPM lifecycle to implement governance • Governance during phases of process change • How is BPM governance implemented? • Governance critical success factors • Governance frameworks BA 553: Business Process Management

  4. Why is BPM governance important? BA 553: Business Process Management

  5. When is BPM governance needed? • Governance is required through all lifecycle phases of BPM in the company • Governance is required through all process change phases: • Business process strategy phase • Strategic plan • Value chain • KPIs and Business scorecards • Business process design phase • Process architecture • Process redesign project • Desired (“to be”) process performance targets • Business process implementation phase • Comprehensive process change implementation plan, including training and communications plans • Improved process implemented in the organization • Business process control phase • Process performance management system • Process performance measures, impacts on KPIs and strategy • Countermeasure plans to modify process performance Scheer, A-W. and Brabander, E. (2010), The Process of Business Process Management. In: vomBrocke, J. and Rosemann, M. (eds.) Handbook on business process management, vol. 2. Springer: Heidelberg. BA 553: Business Process Management

  6. How is BPM governance implemented? BPM governance critical success factors: • Determine governance authorities and boundaries for each group, e.g., which group has authority over cross-functional processes, which group is responsible for standardizing tools and methods • Establish a schedule for how frequently various governance activities are conducted • Balance benefits of optimizing the performance of a process and optimizing the performance of the organization (don’t sub-optimize) • Align BPM governance approach with organizational management approach and organizational culture • Align the related lifecycles: • BPM lifecycle aligned with company lifecycle • Process lifecycles aligned with product/service lifecycles BA 553: Business Process Management

  7. BPM Lifecycle: One Perspective Scheer, A-W. and Brabander, E. (2010), The Process of Business Process Management. In: vomBrocke, J. and Rosemann, M. (eds.) Handbook on business process management, vol. 2. Springer: Heidelberg. BA 553: Business Process Management

  8. How is BPM governance implemented? (cont’d.) Selecting a BPM governance framework: • Assess the organization’s current process capability or maturity (session 10) • Determine the level of management structure that is appropriate for the organization’s culture • Determine the level of centralization that is appropriate for the organization’s culture (example on next slide) • Identify the level of resources (people and budget) the organization can dedicate to BPM at this time • Decide on a governance framework based upon the above items (examples in this presentation) • Establish a BPM growth model, if the current BPM approach is not at the desired level (session 10) BA 553: Business Process Management

  9. Determining the Level of Centralization Localized Model Regional Model Business Unit Model EnterpriseModel • Description • Ultimate decision authority at the local level by process • Localities have lead process owners who make decisions for their locality • Consistency not maintained across the enterprise • Advantages • Enables nimble decision making • Localities have flexibility to design processes to meet their needs • Tradeoffs • Costly solution to build and maintain; loss of efficiencies • Loss of standardization benefits • Most difficult to manage business globally • Description • Ultimate decision authority is at the regional level by process • The regional process owners may meet to gain informal consistency across the enterprise • Local governance bodies make lower level decisions • Advantages • Provides flexibility for regions in process design • Decision making typically faster than Enterprise and BU Models • Tradeoffs • More difficult to manage enterprise globally • Some loss of flexibility to meet business unit needs within a given region • Description • Ultimate decision authority is at the Business Unit level by process • The BU process owners may meet to gain informal consistency across the enterprise • Regional level bodies make lower level decisions • Advantages • Provides flexibility for business units in process design • Decision making typically faster than Enterprise Model • Tradeoffs • Loss of cross Business Unit synergies • Some loss of local control • Description • Ultimate decision authority is at the Enterprise level by process • Enterprise governance body can be led by a single process owner or small board of owners • Regional and/or BU level bodies make lower level decisions • Advantages • Less costly to maintain • Full standardization benefits • Enables global management of the business • Tradeoffs • Some loss of flexibility to meet specific business needs • Greatest change challenge Open Strict • Typical Attributes • Exceptions granted as requested • Loose network of process experts (if any) • Local review boards manage exceptions • Decentralized decision making • Typical Attributes • Regional or BU business justified exceptions granted • Regional or BU process expert network • Decision making bodies • Typical Attributes • Exceptions typically granted only for compliance or significant benefit • Corporate process owners • Global review boards • Centralized decision making BA 553: Business Process Management Example from Chevron, as discussed in session 6.
