TRACK DESCRIPTION

Business Process Management (BPM) has evolved into a widely deployed and comprehensively studied discipline. It comprises activities such as the identification, definition and modelling of business processes, their implementation and execution, monitoring, mining and control as well as continuous and disruptive improvement. Enterprise-wide BPM requires capabilities such as governance, methods, information technology, culture, people, and strategic alignment.

This track specifically focuses on the face of BPM in a digital world. With the emergence of the opportunity-rich landscape of ubiquitous digitalization, the established, analysis-intensive BPM methods and tools are no longer sufficient to capitalize on the affordances of contemporary information systems. BPM needs to further develop its intellectual core and methodological basis to strengthen its exploratory, opportunity-driven capabilities in addition to the rich set of exploitative, problem-driven capabilities.

While, in the sense of exploitative BPM, the continuous improvement and management of existing processes will remain important, it focuses on reacting to and resolving existing process shortcomings. One topic of particular interest for this year's BPM track is explorative BPM, which operates under the paradigm of innovation and agility of processes, services, products and business models, applying techniques of creative, abductive thinking, design, and communication. This also includes the design of transformational innovation and design processes in addition to the traditional focus on transactional processes.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

The track seeks to find answers to the following questions:

* How can BPM help identify value-creating scenarios for digital technologies, e.g., smart objects and networks, big data analytics, social media, and cloud solutions?

* How can BPM be extended to stimulate the exploration of process innovation?

* How can processes be designed as needed in organizations growing at high speed?

* What is the role of business processes in social platforms, digital ecosystems, and increased robot-to-human systems?

* How can innovation processes be managed and supported by process-aware innovation systems?

* How can BPM support business model and ecosystem innovation?

* How can BPM enable organizational agility?

* How can we better understand diverse application areas for BPM that go beyond conventional business processes, including e.g., energy efficiency, private households, or smart cities?

* What are new application areas for BPM in economy and society, and what specific requirements do these application areas require?

* What enterprise-wide capabilities are needed to enable ambidextrous BPM, i.e. the coexistence of exploitative and explorative BPM?
