This document discusses the need for a Business Process Management (BPM) Center of Excellence. It notes that modern organizations face new challenges like global competition, demanding customers, and the need for flexibility. While organizations have functions like HR, IT, and risk management, they still need a way to transform processes and effectively implement changes. A BPM Center of Excellence can help by providing education, identifying competencies, developing systems, creating metrics, institutionalizing guidelines, and demonstrating results from BPM initiatives. However, traditional BPM approaches may not enable the type of transformation organizations require. An effective BPM Center of Excellence must focus on managing processes as assets and facilitating organizational change through significant improvements and sustainable changes.
