BPI - Converging Methodologies
[3/08/2009]

Cost improvements post-credit crunch are the current fashion to show positive revenue results.

But to achieve the kind of process improvement ROI that gets the Board smiling, should you:

  • Spend money on Six Sigma specialists? 
  • Use the SCOR road map to identify key projects? 
  • Use Lean to achieve speed in the value chain?

 

All three methodologies are intended to develop the organizational performance by identifying and reducing variation, and eliminating waste. But should they be competing or separate methodologies?

 

Our upcoming report will discuss the convergence of BPI methodologies. This is an issue for many, as SCOR hosts a special interest group complete with workshops devoted to this convergence discussion. This trend is about change management projects and the logical extension to platform status. Organizations want to embrace change, but doing so requires an integrated approach to using methodologies and a strong organizational platform that goes beyond business intelligence to include intelligent use of data integration and analytics.
