Abstract

Today, many enterprises still use concepts of business process management (BPM) for one-time transformation and improvement projects or short-term initiatives. An increasing number of organizations, however, recognize its power as a fundamental management discipline which is instrumental in achieving strategic goals for competitive advantage and long-term success. BPM becomes the discipline of strategy execution. This demands ongoing attention to deliver high performance in our digital world. The “process of process management” has to be managed as part of the day-to-day business. Organizations must orchestrate and adapt their overall management approach to realize the full potential of the BPM-Discipline. These organizational aspects about granting power, making decisions, acting on them, and controlling the results are referred to as business process governance (BPG). BPG enables the effective management of the process life cycle and with that the achievement of high performance.
