From Strategy to Implementation and Process Management

by Roger Burlton

Dallas, November 3-4, 1997

Toronto, December 8-9, 1997


What's Happening

It has become clear that Process Based Change is now fundamental to any significant business transformation. It has become clear that many organizations could do a much better job in managing this type of initiative than they do today. Organizations which have become good at this have already gained market share, increased profits, lowered costs and improved quality. They are delivering faster, have greater flexibility and, most importantly, are rewarded by happier, loyal customers. What are the secrets of their success? They have done this by going beyond traditional BPR:

  • They have developed aligned business, process, technology and human strategies prior to conducting specific projects.

  • They excel in the project and commitment management.

  • They have learned how to implement synchronized and time-phased business solutions.

  • They focus strongly on communications and human change management at all levels of the organization.

  • The process manage the solutions and their evolution completely even after the project is over.

  • They employ a simple and consistent framework to manage integrated change.

  • They have mastered scope management.

  • Everything they do is traceable to the vision and customers of the organization and can be measured.

  • They balance their understanding of the current with the design for the future.

  • They deliver early and often.

  • They manage politics relentlessly.

  • They do not confuse systems development with BPR.

Now their best practices can be yours.
