Use our business process maturity model to measure progress

Use our business process maturity model to measure progress

Business Process management focuses on how the enterprise operates and delivers the results, i.e. products and services to external and internal customers.

A business process maturity model is a structured framework to assess your organization’s level of maturity in managing and optimizing business processes. It helps you to understand the current state of BPM maturity and defines a roadmap for progression. To improve your BPM practice in a controlled way, Bizzdesign has developed an out-of-the-box business process maturity model that provides a roadmap to evaluate your current BPM practices, identify areas for improvement, and guide your journey towards higher maturity levels.

There are many different maturity models available for use today. The Business Process Maturity Model (BPMM) from the Object Management Group (www.omg.org) is a maturity model often used within the BPM community. Although this is a useful and rich framework, many organizations choose not to use it due to its richness, complexity and appraisal methodology.

Based on customer input and our heritage spanning over 23 years in enterprise architecture and business process management, Bizzdesign has created an easy-to-use business process maturity model to help mature your business processes.

Why do you need to leverage our process maturity model?

1. Evaluation of current state: Use our maturity model to identify current BPM practices and identify strengths and weaknesses. Our model provides a structured approach to evaluate process maturity across various dimensions, such as process documentation, process measurement, process improvement, and process governance.
2. Process improvement focus: The maturity model emphasizes process improvement by providing guidelines and best practices for process optimization, standardization, and automation.
3. Resource allocation and prioritization: The model provides a structured way to identify critical areas that need immediate attention and investment. You can prioritize initiatives and allocate resources effectively by aligning your BPM efforts with the maturity model.

Preview: What can you expect from our maturity process model?

Important to note about our maturity model is that you can’t progress to a higher level if you’re still not compliant with the criteria from the underlying levels (e.g. if a process is on level 3 but the RACI of the process is missing, then it is considered to be at level 1). See the image below.

After assessing the processes, the results can be used to create heatmaps on process architecture overviews. Heatmaps provide business leaders with insights into the maturity of the different processes. They help you answer the following: Are we spending our improvement efforts on our key capabilities or optimizing the capabilities that don’t give us a competitive edge?

Alternatively, leverage the data from the assessed criteria in one of the predefined dashboards Bizzdesign ships with our out-of-the-box Business Process Management solution. The dashboard helps in gaining a detailed insight into the overall status of the process maturity effort of an enterprise, as well as on what actions to take to mature individual processes are given with this dashboard.

So if you are looking for an easy way to start maturing your business process management efforts, using a maturity model can be a good tool to support this. The maturity model presented here is simple and easy to implement but still detailed enough to provide concrete actions. So start maturing those processes today!
