BPM Stakeholder role | Stakeholder description |
---|---|
Chief Process Officer |
This person will be accountable for business process management within the organization, standardising and streamlining business processes. They will own the bpm method, BPM lifecycle, plans and strategy. They will be responsible for ensuring that bpm is embedded in the management philosophy. |
Business Engineer |
These are the subject matter experts for their departments or area. They are not necessarily technical, but they will know about the strategy for their divisions, the alignment to the overall business strategy and goals. You could also think of these stakeholders as the senior managers who will feed information into business process modelling for their specialisms, for example heads of HR, finance, IT, sales and so on. |
Process Designer |
Process Designers are the skilled individuals who are responsible for producing the business process models. They will work with the Business Engineers to research, observe and document the business processes. Designers will use Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) to model the processes. |
Process Participant |
These are the frontline or end users of the business processes. They will input to the process modelling by explaining their activities, hand-offs and dependencies within their processes. |
Knowledge Worker |
Knowledge workers are also process participants, but they use software to perform activities within a process for example, invoicing or payroll. They will have a detailed knowledge of the steps followed with the software applications used. |
Process Owner |
Each process should have an owner who is responsible for managing the process and identifying inefficiencies and improvements during the modelling and optimisation stages of the BPM lifecycle. They work closely with the process participants and process designers. |
System Architect |
System architects are responsible for developing or configuring the business process management systems (bpms). See an example architecture diagram for a BPMS. |
Developers |
During BPM new software solutions may be needed or existing solutions may be integrated with other solutions or customised to improve a business process. |
