Establishing Business Process Management: Successfully transform your organization with OCEB 2 Advanced

Establishing BPM requires more than adopting a notation, selecting a tool, or launching a process improvement initiative. It requires leadership, a shared understanding of purpose, appropriate governance, long-term commitment, and the ability to connect process management with strategy, organizational design, technology, performance management, and continuous improvement.
This book helps readers understand these interdependencies and provide them with concepts, models, and practical orientations for their own BPM journey. Our ambition is not to offer a universal blueprint. Organizations differ in their maturity, culture, industry, regulatory environment, strategic priorities, and capacity for change. Rather, we seek to present and connect the key ideas of a select group of authors whose work has shaped the field of advanced BPM, enabling readers to make informed decisions in their own context.
The primary audience is therefore managers, executives, transformation leaders, and prospective heads of BPM initiatives who wish to build the organizational capabilities needed for BPM to succeed. This includes those responsible for establishing a BPM Center of Excellence, defining process governance, assigning responsibilities, developing process-related competencies, and creating the conditions under which process improvement becomes an integral part of organizational management rather than an isolated project.
Whether you are preparing for the OCEB 2 Advanced examination, establishing a BPM function, strengthening an existing process management initiative, or leading a broader organizational transformation, we hope that this volume will serve as a valuable companion. We welcome your feedback and wish you every success in applying Business Process Management to create lasting value in your organization.
