Recenzii
In our latest BPTrends survey, readers indicated that one of their major concerns was with how to tie corporate strategy together with BPM. Carl's book provides a detailed look at the ways one can do just that. It also provides managers with a great overview of how to solve the problems involved in creating and fielding new processes in this time of unprecedented change. Pack this book in your backpack as you set out on your process journey.

Gartner defines BPM as a management discipline that treats processes as assets that directly contribute to enterprise performance by driving operational excellence and agility. Yet most practitioners struggle to advance their BPM efforts from narrowly defined projects into an enterprise program. Although incremental process performance improvements are delivered at a functional unit level, in fact, enterprise performance is actually sub-optimized. To achieve enterprise success, BPM leaders should pursue BPM as a discipline of disciplines, as Mr. Lehmann describes in this book. An over arching framework that integrates various management disciplines (i.e. Balanced Scorecard, change management), process improvement methods, BPM-enabling technologies, and governance over the rate of change is key to advancing BPM maturity and delivering enterprise performance gains. Mr. Lehmann’s book, Strategy and Business Process Management provides pragmatic guidance for creating such a framework.

This book helps the reader by simplifying an otherwise complex BPM learning curve. It accomplishes this by dissecting a logical sequence of proven techniques and best practices across different disciplines and industries, and applying them to rapidly evolving business strategies and performance metrics. There are numerous examples and checklists that drive home salient messages. The book further synthesizes its findings into a decision framework and tools that can help practitioners to plan better and consistently execute business strategy. It should thus be valuable not only in proselytizing the BPM concept, but as a reference guide for those embarking on the BPM journey.
—Dale Kutnick, Senior Vice President, Gartner Executive Programs
The best path toward sustainable competitive advantage can be elusive. Organizations must seek a direction that structures their resources to embrace customer centricity, fuel growth amidst change and turbulent markets, and instill discipline in managing the bottom line. Carl’s book offers key insights for assembling an organization’s people, business processes and information technology into an adaptive system. His common sense line-of-reasoning offers sharp contrast to typical ivory tower process methodologies and frameworks. This book reveals the path for all management teams tasked with creating and sustaining the foundation and practices for strategic business transformation.
