Business Process Management

Business process management is the systematic approach to make an organization"s work flow more effective, efficient and capable of adapting to an ever changing environment. Business process is the activity or set of activities to accomplish a specific organizational goal.

Business process management addresses all the essential steps to undertake and create cost effective business in the short term and a truly, competitively distinct business in the longer term. It is a journey with specific set of objectives and goals along the way and is a mechanism to:

* Create long term future positioning of the business and its future capabilities.
* Create cost efficiency and improvement in customer service standards.
* Initiate continuous improvements from the roots of the current processes.
* Remodel the business radically and provide a sharp competitive differentiation to the organization.
* Address the cultural barriers that inhibit effective cross functional and hierarchical working.
* Introduce leadership and a role for management and empowered staff.

Business process management is not an antidote or short cut measure. It demands an open mind and a holistic view of business in relation to the environment in which the business operates.
