Unit 6: Assignment
The chapter on the people phase lists 10 recommended steps
to ensure that the activities of the
individuals who will be executing the new processes are in
alignment with the agreed
organization and process goals established in earlier phases
of the project. This is a critical step
in the BPM project. In this Assignment, you will explore the
risks associated with not carrying
out these steps properly and you will examine which types of
leaders are best suited to lead this
process.
For this Assignment, write a 46 page paper (double spaced,
not including title page or
references) that answers the following questions (use the
subheadings/numbered questions
below to organize your paper):
Question 1 Risk analysis
Which of the 10 steps that the book recommends for the
people phase do you think is most
critical for your BPM project?
1. Explain the importance of the step for your selected
process. Be specific to your
situation; do not describe the significance of the step in
general terms.
2. Justify your answer by stating what risks will arise if
the step you identified is not carried
out properly.
3. Explain what measures you will take to implement this
step properly and mitigate these
risks in your project.
Do not talk in generalities. Make sure you are specific
about both the risks and the measures as
they apply to your selected process.
Question 2 Leadership
Leadership is an important facet of utilizing the Business
Process Model, particularly within the
people phase. Identifying the type of leader that will
manage and direct the new process or
process change after BPM completion is necessary to ensure
success. There has been quite a
bit of research on various types of leaders. For this
Assignment you will need to search for
academic articles that discuss Leadership types and answer
the following questions based on
your reading:
1. Currently, which types of leaders are involved in the
execution and management of this
process? Do you think that their specific type of leadership
is working well?
2. Choose three types of leaders from your research and
discuss both their pros and cons
with respect to the process you have selected and the
circumstances within the
organization.
3. Which type of leader would be best suited to lead your
BPM project? Justify your answer
by analyzing the specifics demands of your situation. Do not
automatically assume that the democratic leader is bestdepending on the
situation a democratic leader may
only cause chaos and anxiety.
