1) Business process management (BPM) is a strategy, philosophy, approach, and technique enabled by technology to continuously improve processes through reducing cycle times, increasing agility and visibility, and improving performance and consistency.
2) BPM can provide a competitive advantage by managing processes brilliantly through average people, rather than trying to achieve average results through brilliant people managing broken processes.
3) When adopting BPM, organizations should determine baseline performance and objectives, identify key processes for improvement, define metrics to measure current performance, and model as-is processes to analyze and prioritize opportunities.
