Business process management (BPM) isn’t new. It’s been around in one form or another from the industrial age, when ideas about the division and specialization of labor were introduced by writers like Adam Smith and Frederick Winslow Taylor. Ever since 1913 when Henry Ford implemented the first moving assembly line and optimized the mass production of his automobiles from 12+ hours to only 2.5 hours, there’s been a process-centric and customer-centric approach to improving business results.

If you’re in an organization and you want to do something new, strategic, exciting, challenging or difficult – it’s a project. A project is a way to transform an organization or a group.

Hi Gina, That was a painstaking effort to get Jack imbibe the rudimentary elements of leadership skills by your coach (you). I think Jack was a willing student but got it wrong ab initio on how to manage his team and his very own responsibility.

Gina, I agree with you that beyond the HR dept; the specific unit where a new staff would work should show the nuances within such a unit.
