Considering the rapidly changing business environment and technological developments in recent years, the innovative capacity of BPM gains increasing importance.

Within the stable insurance industry structure and business environment in Scandinavia, the insurance company has no imperative and immediate motivation to transform the business strategy
Business environment is conceptualized as the macro economic and market environment that a company operated within.
The management of an innovation goes through two phases: exploration phase and exploitation phase (Tidd & Bessant, 2009.
or accountable for capabilities required for the innovation lacked the necessary motivation, competence or empowerment/mandate, due to a stable business environment and low risk tolerance,
Thus, the innovated process cannot be sustained in the current environment. Christensen (1997) pinpoints that a market leader with a low risk tolerance, who is acting in a stable business environment with a functional business model
usually avoids the adoption of innovation for fear of provoking the business environment. A possible solution to this dilemma could be to unbundle the business by separating an insurance telematics initiative to another division and brand (Osterwalder & Pigneur, 2010.

With companies being subject to increasing degrees of competition and a more dynamic market environment, it is crucial to implement organizational changes rapidly
Hence, BPM projects are conducted in large, possibly interorganizational environments (Houy, Fettke, J. Becker(*)Department of Information systems, University of Muenster, Leonardo-Campus 3, 48149 Mu nster, Germany e-mail:

According to Sanchez (1997), the traditional strategic management objective of choosing a single best plan of action is likely to be an unrealistic objective in an uncertain environment.
However, organizations often have difficulties in implementing strategic changes at the speed required by the market environment (Shimizu & Hitt, 2004.
