*BPMinDIT 2020 - BPM in the era of Digital Innovation and Transformation*,
Int. Workshop in conjunction with the 18th Int. Conf. on Business Process
Management (BPM 2020), Sevilla, Spain, September 13-18, 2020

------------------------------

The fundamental nature of many organizations is being rapidly transformed
with the ongoing diffusion of digital technologies. In this era,
organizations in many domains are challenged to question their existing
business models and to improve or revolutionize them using new
technologies. Many IT-based initiatives, such as Uber, Car2Go, Udacity, or
Airbnb emerge, and disrupt traditional markets by making use of those
digital technologies. To stay ahead of their competitors, even ICT giants,
such as Google or Amazon, face the need to constantly evaluate and improve
the value they propose for their customers.

These developments are also challenging the role of BPM. Advances in data
analytics and AI, uptake of new technologies (such as blockchain, internet
of things, 3D/4D printing), increased adoption of cloud and mobile
technologies, and new business paradigms, such as service-dominant logic,
open the path for new business processes and new possibilities – or even
necessities - for the application of BPM. We see, for example, how
automated business process management can be used to tightly link business
analytics and business execution in short process-based iterations to
follow quickly changing markets, how real-time data from physical entities
(‘things’ in the IoT sense) is directly injected into decision making in
business processes, or how agile, IT-reliant business models are directly
mapped to executable business processes.

However, the traditional role of BPM in structuring and optimizing
(operational) processes often falls short in making use of these
opportunities. This can risk the position of BPM to act as the driving
force in digital innovation and transformation initiatives. New BPM
capabilities that reflect an explorative-dominant (instead of
exploitation-dominant) view may help in addressing the emerging
opportunities and challenges of digitalization.

In this workshop, we question and investigate the new role of BPM in the
digital era. The goal is to advance our understanding of the BPM
capabilities that organizations require to explore emerging opportunities
of digital innovation and transformation, and cope with related challenges.

**** Topics of Interest:*

We seek contributions on a broad range of topics, including but not limited
to:

- New BPM capabilities to address the opportunities and challenges that
companies are facing due to digital transformation

- The role of BPM practitioners in conceiving, leading and executing
digital innovation and transformation initiatives

- The interplay between business models, processes, and services in the
context of digital transformation

- Innovation-driven / Explorative BPM

- Process (re)design methods to foster digital innovation

- The mapping of business model innovation to business process
implementation (from business models to business process models)

- The alignment of digital capabilities and business services, and their
composition into processes

- Achieving agility in the engineering of business models, services, and
processes

- The role of organizational process orientation in driving digital
innovation and transformation initiatives

- The support and evaluation of new business models using BPM methods,
tools or techniques (e.g., process simulation, process mining)

- The positioning BPM systems in digital technology platforms, e.g., from
an architectural perspective

- The role of BPM in exploiting digital technologies such as AI, IoT or
blockchain

- BPM capabilities in adaptive, distributed, open socio-technical digital
ecosystems

- New process and governance structures for digital innovation in business
network and ecosystem settings

- BPM Governance:

 -- BPM governance and the success of BPM

 -- BPM governance and organizational performance

 -- BPM governance in the context of culture and country

 -- BPM governance in the public administration, and private-versus-public
sector

 -- BPM governance in shaping Business-IT alignment

 -- BPM governance implementation in practice: challenges, limitations, and
success stories

The intended audience covers both researchers in the BPM field -
particularly those interested in the managerial and architectural aspects
of BPM - and practitioners that initiate, participate in, lead, or execute
digital innovation and/or transformation initiatives.

Experience or application papers that incorporate case studies, focus
groups, Delphi studies, surveys, and employing design science research or
action research methodologies are highly encouraged.
