Business Process Transformation Framework (BPTF) article series

There is a strong business case for the need to add value to process improvement technology. This business case is largely predicated on the high percentage of failures in transformation projects such as the implementation of a supply chain management system. Today’s globally competitive business environment demands that companies deliver value, as perceived by both customers and investors. System installations or upgrades continue to be the tool of choice to drive organizational productivity and service improvement. These transitions must be transparent to customers and economically valuable to investors.

This three-part article series makes a case that the solution lies in replacing the traditional document-based process design methodology with an innovative new approach. This approach is enabled through the Business Process Transformation Framework (BPTF) process design methodology. BPTF addresses the pitfalls of many failed business transformations by coupling the advances in modeling-enabled best practice process design with the critical, and often omitted, enablers to success. BPTF is a design methodology that leverages rules-based ontology (vocabulary and relationships) and an enabling, modeling tool for developing design solutions. These solutions can be effectively adapted, maintained, and communicated across the business enterprise and tailored to a system configuration team.

		The "to be" vision written by Rick Burris and Oliver Wight Principal Robert E. Howard, with contribution from Tom Mercer, Value Chain Group model architect In this first of three articles, we will introduce an emerging process improvement technology, the Business Process Transformation Framework (BPTF), which plays a direct role in successful system implementations. We will address a case for a change in process management methodology and describe how this new approach can mitigate the risk of project failure. Read part one of this article series.
		Using the dictionary written by Rick Burris and Oliver Wight Principal Robert E. Howard, ,with contribution from Tom Mercer, Value Chain Group model architect In the previous article of this three-part series, we discussed the long list of enterprise resource planning (ERP) system implementation failures and introduced a new technology framework for accomplishing business process transformation in those implementations. This second in the series will further describe the new business process transformation framework as it applies to a real business process requirement. We will present a value chain scenario developed in ValueScape (an enabling modeling tool) from an extensible resource model (XRM) dictionary that contains integrated best practice process flows, enabling definitions, policies, procedures, and practices with complementary metrics and functional role definitions. Read part two of this article series.
		The Business Process Transformation Framework written by Rick Burris and Oliver Wight Principal Robert E. Howard, with contribution from Tom Mercer, Value Chain Group model architect In this final article, we will describe the process steps for using a business process transformation framework (BPTF) effectively and efficiently.
