The CIO and the Industry Advisory Councils would like to invite you to attend an interactive discussion around innovative uses of process architecture to deliver performance results. ‘Smart’ Business Process Management [BPM] is an effort to use methods and tools to embed proper process controls as well as integration points for collaboration and metrics for data driven performance reporting. The themes which will be addressed include: Agility (Continuous Improvement & Innovation); Organizational Collaboration & Empowerment Sustainability and Supporting a Citizen Centric Focus for Government. A moderated panel will explore the following topics as its agenda: • Engaging the organization, learning and documenting the way things are done today; including pain points, risks, improvements and technology opportunities. • Providing a platform to prioritize business problems and visualize impacts associated with decision alternatives. • Linking to strategy, “making it real” for mission and business support processes. • Applying smart process controls that both empower process design and provide ‘beacons’ for consistent performance measurement. • Creating new business processes that achieve desired performance improvements with the endorsement of organizational stakeholders…because they played an active role throughout the improvement initiative. • Providing solid, traceable, and meaningful outcome measurements that give executives the “line of sight” they need to make sure objectives are being achieved…and options to address any problems that might prevent success.
