Making
Process
Real Facts and assumptions
The facts:
I’ve spent many years working with “process” –
often with people who don’t know,
don’t want to know, or actively dislike it
– many were C-level executives
– I’ve learned a few things about how to bring
them around.
The assumptions:
– You’ve read the speaker bio
– You’d prefer I just get on with it
So let’s dive in with three baseline ideas…

Making
Process
Real
Workers –
It’s a horror film:
“My Incredible Shrinking
Employment Prospects!
Executives –
It’s a ransom note
from expensive
consultants!
Managers –
I have hundreds,
and I don’t need any
more!
1 – They might not love “process” as much as you do
“Process”
5
Making
Process
Real Lots of evidence of fear of “process”
* not a nice
comparison

Reengineering:
Corporate Lobotomy*
6
Making
Process
Real Six Sigma in particular faces a backlash
JUNE 11, 2007
Inside:
Six Sigma: So Yesterday?
In an innovation economy, it's no
longer a cure-all
The cover:
3M’s Innovation Crisis: How Six Sigma
Almost Smothered Its Idea Culture
A CEO I worked with:
“I want to disband the Six Sigma group.
They think the whole company is just a
data collection mechanism being run for
their experiments.”
Many other articles on six stigma

Making
Process
Real 2 – Making the business case for BPM may not work
Benefits of BPM – the usual suspects
1. Reduce costs and increase efficiency
(The perennial #1)
2. Improve customer service
3. Increased responsiveness
4. Regulatory compliance
BUT…
1. _________________________________________
2. _________________________________________
Fill in the blanks – why not promote BPM with these claims?
Every other discipline makes the same claims…
… so nobody believes you anyway.
8
Making
Process
Real
“First, we need executive commitment…” – False!
Later, you need executive commitment, but it doesn’t start there.
Key elements:
• Examples are good, stories are better – start collecting!
• Simple visuals everyone can use to support their message
• Consistency and repetition
3 – You won’t start at the top
Mid-level –
present compelling idea
or information

initiatives
Executive –
“We need to
do this!”

9
Making
Process
Real Executive interest – three to five key points
1. It’s essential to have clarity on what a
business process really is
2. Existing performance measures are often functionally
aligned and work against business processes
3. Success with business processes depends
on taking a holistic view in which
six enablers are considered
4. Enterprise system implementations must include a
business process perspective
5. Business processes can’t be great at everything – a single
differentiator or strategic discipline should be chosen
must cover
pick and choose
Whatever you do…
Don’t preach,
don’t overreach
10
Making
Process
Real 1 – What is a business process?
An “end-to-end, cross-functional,
business process” is larger than most people
expect when they think of “a process.”
Key point:
Different process professionals will have very
different ideas of what a process is:
• Six Sigma
• ISO 9001
• Lean
• Business Process Management (that’s us!)
11
Making
Process
Real Process – the elephant in the room
It’s a
PROCESS!
The problem – “process blindness”
12

Different perspectives on “business process”
Logistics
process
Sales
process
A/R
process
Six Sigma –
focus on defects and
variation in “our
lithography process”
Manufacturing process
Lean practitioner –
focus on flow within in
“ our fabrication process”
Functional perspective –
focus on internal efficiencies in
“ our manufacturing process”
Business Process Management –
end-to-end alignment of
“ our Fulfill Order process”
Fabrication Assembly
Packaging
&
Labeling
litho
ISO 9001 –
focus on documenting
procedures in “our
custom labeling process”
Procedure:
This contains a lot of tiny tiny text
that’s really much too small to
ever be read by mere mortals. It
describes a procedure for
completing some minor task in a
process. And, it goes on for a
surprisingly long time, while I try
to fill this silly little box just to
make a point. Maybe I should
have found some clip art of a
book, or some such. But, it’s late
and I just want to get this done!

• “Service Provisioning” – “ins”, “outs”, “moves”
(install new service, disconnect service, relocate service)
• Five “processes” misidentified, five teams get started on “process” improvement –
the directive is to “achieve operational efficiencies”
• Each team makes substantial improvements to efficiency in their “process,”
largely through new constraints like batching and scheduling of orders
The outcome…? Service is worse! Financial impact! What went wrong?

Making
Process
Real 2 – Cross-functional issues
The performance goals of the functions
(divisions, departments, …) that participate in
a business process usually conflict with the
goals of the business process
(if process goals are stated at all)
Key points:
• A “process vs. function” diagram clearly
shows the different perspectives
• A business process needs an owner to
rationalize the competing objectives
17
Making
Process
Real Cross-functional and human issues
Wherein we introduce
the perverse incentive,
the unintended consequence,
and their ramifications
18
Making
Process
Real
Unintended consequences – are they the law?
In the introduction to Levitt and Dubner’s latest…
“Was there a theme to Freakonomics?”
“…the book did have a unifying theme, even if it
wasn’t obvious at the time, even to us.”
“People respond to incentives, although not
necessarily in ways that are predictable or manifest.
Therefore, one of the most powerful laws in the
universe is the law of unintended consequences.”
19
Making
Process
Real Anticipating the unanticipated
“What we've got here is failure to communicate...”anticipate…”
“Unintended consequences”
are most often a failure to anticipate.
There are techniques and frameworks that help.

• A centre of expertise –
an efficient way to provide resources
across multiple processes
• Specialized skills, knowledge, tools
• Work is ongoing
• Organizational design is usually
based on functional areas
• We prefer not to use the somewhat
negative term “functional silos”
FunctionProcess
• End-to-end business processes
deliver essential results by
aligning the work of multiple
functions
• Results are discrete – “countable”
• Must be explicitly identified and
managed as a whole
Ultimately, business processes are all about alignment
cylinder of excellence –
22
Making
Process
Real Processes and functions – three key points
Customer Front
Office
Finance Back
Office
Operations
agency
Issue Operating Permit
The first step in managing processes is to
figure out what they are – they don’t identify themselves
Performance goals for the functions must align with the
performance goals of the process
Processes need an owner / steward to set direction,
ensure alignment, and resolve conflict
It takes concerted effort – nothing happens by accident
Has an owner!
Needs an
owner!
23
Making

Real 3 – The enablers of a business process
The performance of a business process is
determined by multiple factors – the enablers.
Key point:
The factors that get the most attention
(process workflow design and information
technology) are seldom the crucial factors.
The crucial factors are:
• Motivation and Measurement
• Human Resources
• Policies and Rules

Making
Process
Real
Eventually, we will determine how individual processes
really work by mapping who, does what, when.
This allows the assessment of the as-is process, and design of
the to-be process, enabler by enabler:
Workflow
Design
Information
Systems
Motivation &
Measurement
Human
Resources

and Rules
Facilities
(or other)
That’s the main reason we model as-is workflow
27
Making
Process
Real 4 – Processes and information systems
When major information systems are
implemented without regard to end-to-end
business processes, overall results range from
“okay” to awful. (How awful?)
Key point:
Major companies often re-implement systems
they already have in order to make them more
process-oriented
28
Making
Process
Real Misunderstanding “process”
• Global manufacturer implementing ERP
• Four primary modules:
– Sales
– Manufacturing
– Logistics
– Finance
• Determined to do it right:
“This will be a process-oriented implementation!”

successful when they are truly process oriented

Real 5 – Choosing what to excel at
A business process, like a company, can’t be
all things to all people – it’s essential that a
differentiator is chosen.
Key point:
A lack of clarity around the differentiator, or
conflicting statements about what it is, are a
major source of stress and frustration
35
Making
Process
Real
Great processes don’t try to be all things to all people –
strive to be great at one differentiator, and good at the other two…
Operational
Excellence
Product
Leadership
Customer
Intimacy
Consistent, predictable, error-free,
and efficient.
More efficient, but less flexible in
changing direction or meeting
needs of individual customers.
Tailors service delivery to
the processes of individual
customers.
More flexible for adapting
to needs of individual
customers, but less
efficient.
Continuous and rapid
introduction of new
products and services.
More flexible for
adapting to needs of
new offerings,
but less efficient.
The original reference:
The Discipline of Market Leaders
Michael Treacy and Fred Wiersma
Addison-Wesley 1995
Too often, companies lack focus or focus on the wrong discipline.
35

Making
Process
Real More differentiator problems
• No clear differentiator –
Stuck in the Bermuda triangle
• A business process being specifically directed to excel at
two differentiators, most commonly:
• Operational excellence – “We must be the low-cost provider!”
• Customer intimacy – “We must do what it takes for each client!”
• Making a strategic change to the differentiators
without explaining the rationale to staff
38

Real Recap – the three to five key points
1. It’s essential to have clarity on what a
business process really is
2. Existing performance measures are often functionally
aligned and work against business processes
3. Success with business processes depends on taking a
holistic view in which six enablers are considered

[Process Day 2011] Alec Sharp – Making Process Real Engaging the CXOs Recurso

  • 1. 8:05-9:00 Making Process Real – Engaging the CXOs Alec Sharp, Consultant and Founder, Clariteq Systems Consulting Ltd Keynote presentation
  • 2. Making Process Real Engaging the Executive July 28, 2010 – Sydney, Australia Alec Sharp Consultant Clariteq Systems Consulting Ltd. West Vancouver, BC, Canada asharp@clariteq.com www.clariteq.com www.twitter.com/alecsharp
  • 3. 3 Making Process Real Facts and assumptions The facts: I’ve spent many years working with “process” – often with people who don’t know, don’t want to know, or actively dislike it – many were C-level executives – I’ve learned a few things about how to bring them around. The assumptions: – You’ve read the speaker bio – You’d prefer I just get on with it So let’s dive in with three baseline ideas…
  • 4. 4 Making Process Real Workers – It’s a horror film: “My Incredible Shrinking Employment Prospects! Executives – It’s a ransom note from expensive consultants! Managers – I have hundreds, and I don’t need any more! 1 – They might not love “process” as much as you do “Process”
  • 5. 5 Making Process Real Lots of evidence of fear of “process” * not a nice comparison Downsizing and Reengineering: Corporate Lobotomy*
  • 6. 6 Making Process Real Six Sigma in particular faces a backlash JUNE 11, 2007 Inside: Six Sigma: So Yesterday? In an innovation economy, it's no longer a cure-all The cover: 3M’s Innovation Crisis: How Six Sigma Almost Smothered Its Idea Culture A CEO I worked with: “I want to disband the Six Sigma group. They think the whole company is just a data collection mechanism being run for their experiments.” Many other articles on six stigma
  • 7. 7 Making Process Real 2 – Making the business case for BPM may not work Benefits of BPM – the usual suspects 1. Reduce costs and increase efficiency (The perennial #1) 2. Improve customer service 3. Increased responsiveness 4. Regulatory compliance BUT… 1. _________________________________________ 2. _________________________________________ Fill in the blanks – why not promote BPM with these claims? Every other discipline makes the same claims… … so nobody believes you anyway.
  • 8. 8 Making Process Real “First, we need executive commitment…” – False! Later, you need executive commitment, but it doesn’t start there. Key elements: • Examples are good, stories are better – start collecting! • Simple visuals everyone can use to support their message • Consistency and repetition 3 – You won’t start at the top Mid-level – present compelling idea or information BP initiatives Executive – “We need to do this!” BP initiatives BP initiatives Support!
  • 9. 9 Making Process Real Executive interest – three to five key points 1. It’s essential to have clarity on what a business process really is 2. Existing performance measures are often functionally aligned and work against business processes 3. Success with business processes depends on taking a holistic view in which six enablers are considered 4. Enterprise system implementations must include a business process perspective 5. Business processes can’t be great at everything – a single differentiator or strategic discipline should be chosen must cover pick and choose Whatever you do… Don’t preach, don’t overreach
  • 10. 10 Making Process Real 1 – What is a business process? An “end-to-end, cross-functional, business process” is larger than most people expect when they think of “a process.” Key point: Different process professionals will have very different ideas of what a process is: • Six Sigma • ISO 9001 • Lean • Business Process Management (that’s us!)
  • 11. 11 Making Process Real Process – the elephant in the room It’s a PROCESS! The problem – “process blindness”
  • 12. 12 Making Process Real end-to-end process: Fulfill Order Different perspectives on “business process” Logistics process Sales process A/R process Six Sigma – focus on defects and variation in “our lithography process” Manufacturing process Lean practitioner – focus on flow within in “ our fabrication process” Functional perspective – focus on internal efficiencies in “ our manufacturing process” Business Process Management – end-to-end alignment of “ our Fulfill Order process” Fabrication Assembly Packaging & Labeling litho ISO 9001 – focus on documenting procedures in “our custom labeling process” Procedure: This contains a lot of tiny tiny text that’s really much too small to ever be read by mere mortals. It describes a procedure for completing some minor task in a process. And, it goes on for a surprisingly long time, while I try to fill this silly little box just to make a point. Maybe I should have found some clip art of a book, or some such. But, it’s late and I just want to get this done!
  • 13. 13 Making Process Real Does it matter? Yes! Identify Prospect Qualify Prospect Solicit Prospect One process: Acquire Customer Identify Prospect Solicit Prospect Qualify Prospect etc. At a Financial Services company, important activities were seen as separate processes Rewarded for number of prospects Expected to contact all prospects Rewarded for long-term viability of client Sequence, metrics, and rewards worked against the sales funnel. Rewarded for high-quality prospects Identify likely prospects, good fit Smaller number of prospects, more time to tailor solicitation, higher conversion rate Process and metrics supports sales funnel.
  • 14. 14 Making Process Real An example for your repertoire – part 1 Telephone company needs to improve its Service Provisioning processes Service Order Management process Facilities Management process Service Assurance process Installation process Customer Update process • “Service Provisioning” – “ins”, “outs”, “moves” (install new service, disconnect service, relocate service) • Five “processes” misidentified, five teams get started on “process” improvement – the directive is to “achieve operational efficiencies” • Each team makes substantial improvements to efficiency in their “process,” largely through new constraints like batching and scheduling of orders The outcome…? Service is worse! Financial impact! What went wrong?
  • 15. 15 Making Process Real An example for your repertoire – part 2 Three errors – vague process naming, confusing process with organization, and not focusing on what the client actually wanted from the triggering event Customer Service Network Monitoring Installation & Repair Customer Records & Billing Facilities Management Process: Move Telephone Service Capture Service Order Confirm Service Quality Install Premise Equipment Activate Customer Account Assign Network Facilities Process: Move Telephone Service Trigger: Customer wants telephone service moved. Customer result: Telephone service is moved Telco result: Active account with receivable posted
  • 16. 16 Making Process Real 2 – Cross-functional issues The performance goals of the functions (divisions, departments, …) that participate in a business process usually conflict with the goals of the business process (if process goals are stated at all) Key points: • A “process vs. function” diagram clearly shows the different perspectives • A business process needs an owner to rationalize the competing objectives
  • 17. 17 Making Process Real Cross-functional and human issues Wherein we introduce the perverse incentive, the unintended consequence, and their ramifications
  • 18. 18 Making Process Real Unintended consequences – are they the law? In the introduction to Levitt and Dubner’s latest… “Was there a theme to Freakonomics?” “…the book did have a unifying theme, even if it wasn’t obvious at the time, even to us.” “People respond to incentives, although not necessarily in ways that are predictable or manifest. Therefore, one of the most powerful laws in the universe is the law of unintended consequences.”
  • 19. 19 Making Process Real Anticipating the unanticipated “What we've got here is failure to communicate...”anticipate…” “Unintended consequences” are most often a failure to anticipate. There are techniques and frameworks that help.
  • 20. 20 Making Process Real A true story of Function vs. Process Logistics goal: lower shipping costs Sales goal: late-quarter sales A/R goal: precision in collections Manufacturing goal: maximize machine utilization Sales Manufacturing Accounts Receivable Logistics Process: Fulfill Order Process goal: Responsiveness by providing the shortest order-to-cash cycle time Receive Order Plan Order Fabricate Order Deliver Order Collect Payment Assemble Order Stage Material Move WIP Poor process performance because everyone was working hard and meeting their targets!
  • 21. 21 Making Process Real Sales Production Accounts Receivable Logistics This doesn’t mean functions are bad! triggering event final resultsProcess: Fulfill order • A centre of expertise – an efficient way to provide resources across multiple processes • Specialized skills, knowledge, tools • Work is ongoing • Organizational design is usually based on functional areas • We prefer not to use the somewhat negative term “functional silos” FunctionProcess • End-to-end business processes deliver essential results by aligning the work of multiple functions • Results are discrete – “countable” • Must be explicitly identified and managed as a whole Ultimately, business processes are all about alignment cylinder of excellence –
  • 22. 22 Making Process Real Processes and functions – three key points Customer Front Office Finance Back Office Operations agency Issue Operating Permit The first step in managing processes is to figure out what they are – they don’t identify themselves Performance goals for the functions must align with the performance goals of the process Processes need an owner / steward to set direction, ensure alignment, and resolve conflict It takes concerted effort – nothing happens by accident Has an owner! Needs an owner!
  • 23. 23 Making Process Real 3 – The enablers of a business process The performance of a business process is determined by multiple factors – the enablers. Key point: The factors that get the most attention (process workflow design and information technology) are seldom the crucial factors. The crucial factors are: • Motivation and Measurement • Human Resources • Policies and Rules
  • 24. 24 Making Process Real The factors that matter Business Process enables enables enables enables enables enables Workflow Design Information Systems Motivation & Measurement Human Resources Policies and Rules Facilities (or other) • Actors • Steps & decisions • Flow - sequence and handoffs • Applications • Data • Information • Integration • Employee assessment and incentives • “Reward and punishment” • Process performance indicators • Constraints • Business rules that the process enforces • External & internal • Workplace layout • Equipment • Furnishings • Skills • Matching actors to tasks • Recruitment, selection and placement Enabler – A factor that can be adjusted to impact process performance. Business mission, strategy, goals, & objectives Culture, core competencies, and management style enables constrains
  • 25. 25 Making Process Real Consider each enabler during assessment and design • Mismatch of work needs and facility • No support for team work • Layout that impedes flow of people or material • Unavailable information • Re-keying of data • Missing functionality • Awkward interfaces • Lack of support for workflow • Too many actors • Non-value - added steps • Duplicate steps • Delays and bottlenecks • Excessively sequential • Inappropriate performer or process measures • Internal rather than customer focus • Measures of tasks vs. outcomes • Mismatches between task value and performer • Inappropriate recruiting and placement • Too little empowerment • Out-of-date policies or numerical limits • Excessive review or approval steps • Restrictive labor contracts • Overly complex coding Business Process enables enables enables enables enables enables Workflow Design Information Systems Motivation & Measurement Human Resources Policies and Rules Facilities (or other) Business mission, strategy, goals, & objectives Culture, core competencies, and management style enables constrains
  • 26. 26 Making Process Real Eventually, we will determine how individual processes really work by mapping who, does what, when. This allows the assessment of the as-is process, and design of the to-be process, enabler by enabler: Workflow Design Information Systems Motivation & Measurement Human Resources Policies and Rules Facilities (or other) That’s the main reason we model as-is workflow
  • 27. 27 Making Process Real 4 – Processes and information systems When major information systems are implemented without regard to end-to-end business processes, overall results range from “okay” to awful. (How awful?) Key point: Major companies often re-implement systems they already have in order to make them more process-oriented
