Do you know if your organizational initiatives surrounding digital adoption are aligned with your business processes? Digitalization is the use of digital technologies to change business models and provide new revenue and value-producing opportunities. According to a recent study by The Gartner Group, only 1% of businesses have processes in place that can be adjusted quickly enough to fully benefit from digitalization. This means that most organizations are not prepared to realize the full potential of their digitalization efforts. This is consistent with the initial findings of a recent research study, conducted by BPM-D, Widener University and the Universidad de Chile with over 200 organizations around the world. Over 55% of the respondents answered that it is a key challenge to identify the right opportunities for performance improvements through digitalization.
This presentation reveals interesting preliminary results of our recent research study that investigates the synergies between digitalization and BPM. For example, we analyzed if a company’s existing business process maturity has an impact on realizing value from their digitalization initiatives. What are the business process capabilities that lead to better alignment and business outcomes of their digitalization initiatives? Is there a connection between a company’s business process management endeavors and their advanced digital methods?
We will reveal insights into our research findings that provide Business Process Management leaders and practitioners helpful information to shape and influence their BPM efforts while driving value from their digitalization efforts.
