Business Process Management<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

The long-term strategy of analyzing and improving processes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Process Management (BPM) is the long-term strategy of analyzing and improving processes within a company to improve the organization\u2019s efficiency, effectiveness, and overall performance. It studies, identifies, changes, and monitors business processes to ensure that they are running optimally within the organization\u2019s workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an ongoing activity that often involves automating tasks, but does not always require automation or the use of technology. Ultimately, business process management is about institutionalizing better ways to get work done, using whichever method is most appropriate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Processes vs. Projects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So, what\u2019s a process? A business process can be defined as a repeatable set of activities that help accomplish a specific organizational goal. \u201cRepeatable\u201d is the key term, and a business process is something that an organization regularly does, like onboarding new employees or shipping a product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A process is not a project or a task. A project is usually a one-off activity, such as creating a webpage for a client or planning an event. Even though you may follow the same steps as you would for any other project, the end result is unique and the project will close once the product has been delivered. A task is a specific step involved in a project or process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business process management therefore focuses on improving the performance of your company by managing business processes: a \u201cprocess optimization process\u201d, if you prefer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of BPM<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The goal of business process management is to allow the organization to gain a better understanding of the processes that occur within the organization, as well as analyze them from end-to-end in order to make continual improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
