- 2. The working world is changing. From making things …
- 3. … to knowing things.
- 4. Knowledge workers … high degree of expertise, … involves the creation, distribution, or application of knowledge. - Thomas Davenport
- 5. Knowledge worker productivity is the biggest of the 21st century management challenges. In the developed countries it is their first survival requirement. - Peter F Drucker
- 6. By a number of estimates, •intellectual property, •brand value, •process know-how, and •other manifestations of brain power generated more than 70% of all US market value created over the past three decades. - “The Productivity Imperative”, McKinsey and Company
- 10. 85% of the new jobs created in the past decade required complex knowledge skills: •analyzing information, •problem solving, •rendering judgment and •thinking creatively. - “The Productivity Imperative”, McKinsey and Company
- 11. First … some definitions http:// www.slideshare.net / kswenson / bpm2014 6:00
- 12.

- 21. What do Management Gurus say? http:// www.slideshare.net / kswenson / bpm2014 21:00
- 22. Roger Martin Dean of the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto Eliminate sources of variation. Find the one true way, and get everyone to master it. If possible, automate those practices to increase repeatability. Mastery requires control of the situation. Mastery without originality becomes rote. The master who never tries to think in novel ways ... will produce the same kind of resolution even if the context demands something different. Mastery without originality becomes a cul-de-sac.
- 23. Michael E. Porter Harvard Business School Get a business analyst to find your best business process and then institute it across the company. Thorough planning helps you avoid needless changes. Companies have to be very schizophrenic. On one hand, they have to maintain continuity of strategy. But they also have to be good at continuously improving. Change brings Opportunities.
- 24. Lynda Gratton London Business School Try to anticipate and plan for success. Based on the history of potential members, teams should be crafted with a well known and predictable ability to work together. If a majority of the people on a team already know each other, the team can become stale and predictable. It's often through the unexpected insights of new colleagues that innovation is sparked.
- 25. Marcus Buckingham Author of “First, Break all the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently” A manager should find the best expert on the subject, and devise the most comprehensive and detailed plan. Design once, execute many times. Train people and measure them against these consistent goals. The true genius of a great manager is his or her ability to individualize. A great manager is one who understands how to trip each person's trigger. Your strongest life is built through a continuous practice of designing moment by moment.
- 26. Jim Collins Author of “Built to Last”, and “Good to Great” Make a clear plan, consider carefully all of the situations that your workers will face, come up with the best responses, and teach your employees to use those best responses every time. I don't know where we should take this company, but I do know that if I start with the right people, ask them the right questions, and engage them in vigorous debate, we will find a way to make this company great.
- 27. Uniformity Assumption For a single process to work across an organization, you have to assume that all the players of a role are identical. What if they are not?
- 28. Goal: eliminate variability and find the one best shoe size.
- 29. Single Maximum Assumption If you are going to monotonically improve a business process, you have to assume that there is a single process that is optimal. What if there no single model is optimal? What if optimal is a variety of models?
- 30. Enlightenment Bias: -Behind every complicated phenomenon is a simple formula driving it
- 31. Support for Innovation http:// www.slideshare.net / kswenson / bpm2014 29:00
- 32. Innovation refers to the introduction of novel ideas or methods.
- 34. Medical Emergency This patient has a combination of symptoms that requires us to do something that has never been tried before!
- 35. I’m sorry Dr. House, I can’t allow you to do that. It would make the process invalid.
- 36. A knowledge worker is “… someone who knows more about his or her job than anyone else in the organization.” - Peter F Drucker
- 37. Design Time (Analyst) Run Time (User) Routine Work Expert x1 Less Expert x100 or x1000 Knowledge Work Expert x1 ? What does it mean to “assure the correctness” of the knowledge work process?
- 38. Enforcement: Guardrails (on a road) prevent deviation, but also prevent anything not predicted. Guidance: Guidelines (on a road) show people where to go, but do not prevent deviations if they are necessary. Enforcement vs. Guidance

- 51. Norwegian Food Safety Authority submitted by Computas AS The Norwegian Food Safety Authority’s (NFSA) overall objective is to ensure safe food and animal welfare. NFSA's area of responsibility comprises plant health, food and fodder production and handling, water supply plants, cosmetics, animal health and welfare for production animals and pets. Since 2009, about 1000 of NFSA's knowledge workers (veterinarians, biologists, engineers, other professionals) use MATS actively as a decision support system for the main bulk of their professional work; to plan, conduct and register audits. The public (farmers, restaurants, food production plants, food shops, fish exporters, plants importers, butcheries, pet owners) use MATS to register, apply, and view their own case information, resulting in 150 000 communications per year. Each establishment or person, NFSA client, is viewed as a case, having a corresponding work folder in MATS. Each case is followed by NFSA over a possible time span of many years, subjected to both planned and event driven control activities (inspection, audit, sampling and document control). MATS provides focus on task support rather than workflow support.

- 83. “The future is uncertain – but this uncertainty is at the very heart of human creativity” - Ilya Prigogine
