First, BPM helps to focus on what really matters. Studies and research show, that a company only competes with 15 to 20 percent of their processes. 80+ percent are commodity processes that you need to have, that you need to perform, but they can be performed on an industry average level. You cannot gain a competitive advantage by being the best, e.g. in ordering your toilet paper. You need to focus your innovation and optimization activities on what really matters, the 15+% of high impact processes. BPM helps to set the right focus by providing the necessary transparency over the operations of an organization and related specific tools and approaches. The second big impact of BPM is to "Improve in the appropriate context". Process management is not about just applying one improvement method. Many organizations still think they can apply Six-Sigma everywhere and that's the solution. No, not at all. In our digital world, there are areas where you lead with technology, where you automate and other areas where you can try first your people-centric more traditional methods. And there are lots of areas where you combine both. There are processes where you need to innovate, where you apply techniques like design thinking. BPM helps you to select the right approaches, for a specific process in a specific company context. That's improvement the right way. That is the second very important ingredient that BPM brings to an organization. The third aspect is that BPM, BPM helps to sustain those improvements. Again many organizations struggle with the fact that they improve for example their customer relationship process and half a year later they have the same or similar problems again. A value-driven BPM-Discipline puts the right governance around those processes in place to keep them on
