 Building an Aligned Process Architecture and Change Program
Roger Burlton, President, Process Renewal Group

In most organizations process change are numerous but not well aligned. Drivers for these changes can be traced to business performance gaps, governance and compliance risks, IT requirements needs, customer and competitor threats and inability to change quickly enough. Consequently, individual initiatives are not contributing to business value creation and the assets they deliver are not connected well enough internally to satisfy expectations. It is now apparent that piecemeal project approaches are not the solution and that process management has to become more strategic. Enterprise-wide, process-oriented Business Architecture’s time has come to bridge the gap and to ensure that, whatever may happen, the whole business and all of its capabilities can anticipate and respond in time.

This full -day workshop will show you how to develop and let you practice building a Business Process Architecture that reflects the business drivers and strategic intent of the enterprise and defines the organizational capabilities required for the enterprise to realize its purpose. This Process Architecture will provide the basis for aligning the IT Architecture and the Human Capital with the creation of business value and for the ongoing management of crossfunctional processes as assets themselves.

This seminar will address:
  • Principles of Business Architecture
  • Strategic Intent and Stakeholder Analysis
  • Developing the Process Architecture
    – Value Chain Approach
    – Stakeholder and Asset Lifecycle Approach
    – Reference Framework ApproachAlignment of other Architectures
    – Process to Technology Alignment
    – Process to Organization Mapping
  • Program Planning and Prioritizing Process Projects
* Small Group Case Study Exercises will be conducted through the whole session
 Fundamentals of BPM and SoA
Jim Danenberg, PMP, PhD ABD, University of Auckland, New Zealand

The purpose of this seminar is to set the background for the remainder of the conference, preparing the participants with a host of relative terms, topics and concepts of Business Process Management (BPM) and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). We will explore the synergy and relationship of BPM and SOA, answers to successful implementation, and which technologies and practices have shown themselves to be the most effective so far. Throughout the day we’ll cover subjects like the affect of SOA on BPM and how BPM influences SOA. We will review what the research and statistics say about BPM and SOA, investigate the keys to success, identify the governance challenges, and see what is predicted for the near future. The objective is to provide a great deal of information, a crash course of the best-of-breed technologies and concepts for the new enterprise.

This seminar will address:
  • The current state and what the future holds for BPM and SOA
  • The best practices for an effective BPM and/ or SOA project
