Today, the unemployment problem is an issue in Europe, but, essentially, all work that can be described as well-defined processes can be robotized or automated,

sooner or later. The â€oehuman work†is something where we are at our best; collaborative work requires creativity.

This includes both physical and nonphysical work. We are facing a major societal challenge here. For example, which are the new jobs we cannot even imagine yet,

such as lower taxes and employment flexibility to help bypass the â€oedeath Valleyâ€. Innovation concerns all fields;

and stimulate job creation. The Phd students and unemployed people are encouraged to create their companies while the conditions for success are provided not.

and useful applications that can really help humans in their work instead of replacing them and switching off their brains.

This way of doing increases also pollution in developing countries and the unemployment in Europe and other developed countries.

The above challenges are expressed in the European Work programs. The innovative solutions are expected from funded researchers and companies.

The priority themes of European 7fp Work program 2013 â€oesocio-Economic sciences and Humanity†were: employment and competitiveness in Knowledge Society, combining social, economic and environmental objectives. â€oeresearch and innovation are key drivers of competitiveness, jobs, sustainable growth and social progress†EUR 12.

and employment The appearance of the first industrial automats and robots in factories and production units has begun the polemical replacement of workers by machines.

as businesses generated more value from their workers, the country as a whole became richer, which fueled more economic activity

but employment suddenly wilts. By 2011, a significant gap appears between the two lines, showing economic growth with no parallel increase in job creation.

Brynjolfsson and Mcafee call it the â€oegreat decouplingâ€. Finally, Brynjolfsson says that he is confident that technology is behind both the healthy growth in productivity and the weak growth in jobs.

The majority of the workforce has to adapt to this to remain relevant. â€oetechnology has disrupted often and even destroyed whole industries and employment sectors.

and they require mental efforts to work. They believe that innovation can be practiced by many. 112 The Innovation Biosphere There is still much left that needs to be done to establish the appropriate innovation ecosystems in Europe.

In 2012, on demand of new government, Anne Lauvergeon, the former president of AREVA, led a group of experts studying the main ambitions for France to stimulate innovation in companies

and ensure prosperity and employment in the long run. One innovation principle and seven ambitions, mentioned previously (section 3. 2. 3),

Moreover, The french ANR works with competitiveness clusters with the aim of making research outcomes more compatible with the activities of business enterprises.

It is urgent to find realistic solutions for unemployment and exclusion. All challenges mentioned in this chapter form a complex system

While local authorities often look for famous experts, they may ignore that they have local people who know the context and capable of dealing with a given challenge.

They need more promotion to let them grow. Contrary to popular beliefs that large companies are sure

or not, should influence growth and job creation from innovation. Among them are the Open Innovation Strategy and Policy Group (OISPG)

whether such growth will also significantly reduce unemployment...Persistent mismatches between employee skills and job requirements can seriously impede innovative activityâ€.

The United states alone spends $100 billion a year on unemployment benefits. The value of underused people is much bigger.

All people can create value to each other, but how do we connect offer and demand?

There is also the need for a common language facilitating communication between innovation and social/labor experts.

Emerging Technologies in BPM 53 3 The Changing Nature of Work The nature of work is changing:

routine work is becoming highly automated, leaving the complex and unpredictable knowledge work for people.

These knowledge workers apply their skills not just to perform individual tasks assigned to them,

today†s workers expect to be able to configure their own environment to suit their working style,

Furthermore, management experts recognized the benefits of distributing co-creation across the value chain, so that ideas from workers at all levels are captured to provide a more accurate picture.

This led to the development of social business applications that allow for emergent structure and processes rather than imposing predetermined taxonomies and procedures

For example, an internal social network that allows employees to create profile pages can be used for locating others with specific skills

For example, a wiki used to document internal operational procedures can be updated directly by any worker with information on specific areas of the procedures.

Increasingly, these functions are integrated directly into the line of business applications that workers use every day and BPM systems are proving to be an ideal platform for this integration:

social in the flow of work, rather than in an ancillary collaboration application. Social functionality manifests in a number of ways in BPM systems:

and workers from different areas will more easily lend their expertise to projects that bear some similarity to their own.

As well as completing the work more effectively, this captures a record of the collaboration, including who was involved in decision-making on each process instance. •Activity stream user interfaces,

Collaboration has always been present in how work is done: the difference now is that systems now support

making it a measurable contributor to work improvement rather than a hidden factor. 3. 2 Dynamic Processes Dynamic processes allow the worker to modify a process,

dynamic processes can also be created by a worker purely for their own use. In routine work, process models are predefined

and the focus is on making processes more efficient. Each step in a process is automated either or assigned to a person as a specific task,

Conversely, knowledge work is required for non-repeatable processes, where only the goals and general guidelines may be set in advance,

and the worker dynamically decides the tasks required to complete the goals in response to current conditions.

Most organizations have both routine work and knowledge work, often within the same processes. In the spectrum between routine and unpredictable work, a business process may be predefined

but allow the participants to modify the process during execution on Emerging Technologies in BPM 55 a case-by-case basis

management no longer dictates every action that employees take, but everyone is given an appropriate level of control required to complete their tasks.

(and unmonitored) methods if overly-strict management control does not allow knowledge worker flexibility within the line of business systems.

Providing flexibility allows knowledge workers to improve the quality of the work completed, based on their skills and experience.

More flexible work styles can also be challenging to less confident workers, who may not collaborate

This can be overcome by a work environment where creative solutions are rewarded encouraging workers to offer their own ideas.

In many cases, organizations can benefit from collaborate, dynamic business processes, but may have corporate cultures

It may be necessary to shift employee metrics from pure efficiency measures to those that capture contributions to problem-solving and social collaboration,

and change extrinsic incentives and reward systems in order to guide worker behavior. 4 Smarter Processes Improved intelligence in business processes is achieved through the combination of many different technologies,

or to alert a worker to take manual actions. Finally, predictive process analytics can be used to dynamically optimize the process model relative to the process goals.

either through human collaboration and knowledge work, or via automated responses to changing conditions. References Hammer, M. 2010.

Yet, it is still not well researched how companies can harness the various benefits for using social media to better involve both employees and customers in various phases of the business process life cycle.

We here understand SM to be a service that facilitates networking among employees and stakeholders,

Additionally the SM enable locating experts on a particular topic within the organization (Stieglitz, Schallenmuâ ller,

With SM, employees and stakeholders are given much more freedom of choice to collaborate and connect.

Typically processes are modeled by a closed group of business analysts, employees and process owners; in our experience often the individuals most in favor of process view

and M. Klun coordination reasons, excluded employees, if not involved at a later stage, can develop negative predispositions towards the process approach (Rosemann, 2006).

but by using SM all employees, not just a handful, are given insight into the model creation.

Employees are involved actively in preparing the process model by contributing the needed data or knowledge,

which enable communication and collaboration among all employees by providing job-specific tools and applications on the intranet IBM-News, 2006).

Obviously, just being given the possibility to use SM for process modeling does not mean employees will indeed do so;

most of the employees have 5%of their work hours explicitly reserved for modeling processes.

Some companies also include SM in some internal processes, such as recruitment. One way of using SM in the recruitment efforts is for companies to inspect popular sites

such as Facebook, for additional information about the candidate. In such processes SM are applied as an evaluation device,

Further examples of using SM in the recruitment process are connections and referrals through existing employees or other stakeholders. 4. 5 Monitoring Phase for Internal Participants In the monitoring phase,

Employees that are more aware of the processes can have a more holistic view of the workflow and a wider understanding of the interdependency of process activities.

SM allow employees to help improve the processes by contributing their opinions and suggestions for adaptation.

where a large number of improvement suggestions from employees was be gathered, but due to an 68 P. Trkman and M. Klun overwhelming amount and unclear procedures for â€oeprocessing†the ideas, it resulted in little improvement and a very high level of employee dissatisfaction.

By connecting all employees on a common platform, companies can find potential experts who might not have been known to them before

or had participated not previously due to a high information-pass on threshold. Such individuals provide insightful recommendations that can prove valuable in the improvement phase.

Incorporating SM into BPM provides flexibility by enabling communication and collaboration among a widespread net of employees and external stakeholders.

and support environments that leave considerable freedom so that process workers can readily deviate from preestablished paths.

At the same time, consistent management of these processes requires workers and process owners to understand the implications of their actions and decisions on the performance of the process.

We present two emerging techniques†deviance mining and predictive moni-toring†that leverage information hidden in business process execution logs

where process workers and analysts continuously receive guidance to achieve more consistent and compliant process outcomes and a higher performance.

as process workers are expected in essence to follow a scripted process that tells them what to do,

so that process workers have the freedom to perform tasks in various ways, at almost any point in time,

However, while these approaches provide flexibility to process workers and allow managers to scope this flexibility,

they do not per se support managers and workers in deciding what to do and when. In this paper, we outline two emerging techniques that complement flexible process management approaches by identifying patterns of activities associated with positive

However, these works do not provide general inductive methods for the development of reference models.

these works focus mainly on the process control view and do not consider the modelling of business information systems in general.

In addition to the works specific to the development of reference models, various approaches are known that have a certain similarity to the inductive development of reference models, e g. approaches for model comparison (Dijkman, Dumas, Van dongen, Kaâ aâ rik,

For this reason, the need to reduce model complexity is even more pressing. To reduce the complexity of a process model,

Facilitating cross-functional thinking will in return lead to increased employee communication and collaboration. Moreover, a process map is used as a foundation for the subsequent detailed modeling.

and an application scenario that illustrates its usefulness. 2 Related Work The concept of line of sight (LOS)( Boswell,

Buller & Mcevoy, 2012) in management research explains that human resources play a considerable part in the achievement of a firm†s strategy.

However, to fully benefit from their human potential, organizations need to ensure that their employees understand their own role in the strategy of the organization.

and performance targets from top managers to employees (Boswell et al.,2006). ) The alignment between business processes and strategic goals has been approached by information systems literature in different ways.

Due to the popularity of the BSC methodology among executives, many packaged solutions offer standard business process models that are mapped already into BSC metrics (Brignall & Ballantine, 2003.

Despite the fact that these works have approached the link between business processes and strategic goals, it can be noticed that current studies do not approach the fact that the strategy of the organization may affect the way business process models are designed

and the way employees execute the processes. According to Lepmets et al. 2012), the literature is lacking studies on how process improvement methodologies can be used to align the goals of a process with the business goals of an organization.

Therefore, the approaches used by related work to connect business processes and strategic goals have been superficial

and strategic requirements and to improve employee understanding of their role in the success of the strategy. 3. 1 Basic Concepts

When employees know the expected outcomes of their activities, they are able to improve their job to meet the expectations of the organization (Buller & Mcevoy,

offering much more automation opportunities for making employees aware of their role in the company†s strategy.

We define strategy awareness as an information system†s capacity to influence users to work towards the strategic priorities of the organization.

not only define how employees should conduct their work, but are used also to inform these employees about the relationship between what they do and

what is needed for the success of the company†s strategy. To explain how this relationship is expressed

Finally, we use the concept of strategic recommendations to inform the employee about the connection between their tasks

This capacity is explored in this work to clarify the relationship between the activities executed by a process participant

and their relevance to the strategy of the organization. 3. 1. 2 Work Products Employees in an organization execute activities to produce some output that is valuable to the company.

Through the products of the employees†work organizations perform their daily operations and implement the actions necessary to meet their strategic objectives.

A work product is defined as the output of a single operation executed by an employee.

To connect the concept of work products to the results-chain, we propose a results-chain model in

which the lowest level is the level of the work products. These work products are

then, connected to the â€oeactions levelâ€, to express the relationship between these and the actions that require their execution to be completed.

it generates a work product Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Fig. 1 Example of the graphical representation of a results-chain Implementing a Digital Strategy through Business Process

the work product concept is useful to describe the relationship between what an employee does

and Recommended Work Products For any given operation executed by the company, strategic requirements may affect the way the employee performs his job.

We call a strategic recommendation any information that helps the user take decisions and perform activities in align-ment with the strategic priorities of the organization.

If the employee finishes an operation generating an output that is in accordance with its strategic recommendations,

then we say that he generated the recommended work product. Decision-making algorithms can be used to compile

Then, the output of their work can be monitored and compared to the recommended work products

in order to measure the fit between an employee†s work and strategic requirements. 3. 2 Architecture SA-BPM differs from regular BPM both at design

and run-time At design time, business process models are decomposed into separate modules according to their strategic purpose.

and strategic recommendations are compiled to inform the user about the strategic requirements of his work.

The information shown to the user includes also the connections between the work products generated by the activity

the employee must take the decision about whether the process is being executed to schedule a delivery with the company†s fleet

the process will finish with the generation of either one of two work products: Analyze pending orders Arrange carrier Need to contract carrier?

At this point, the employee is actually facing a difficult decision. Is it an advantage to the company to contract a carrier?

The decision taken by the employee at this point has a direct impact on the strategic performance of the company.

to determine which is recommended the work product of each process instance. This adapter is implemented in ROSAS

As soon as the employee has gathered this information and input into the system a decision algorithm is employed automatically to determine the recommended path to be followed by the user.

when the employee reaches the decision point in the process flow, the SA-BPM system will display the recommendations computed by the adapter in a textual form,

and (2) innovate. •The four digital transformation goals that a digital enterprise must pursue are (1) customer centricity,(2) effective knowledge worker,(3) operational excel-lence,

and human resources, like training and appraisals. They are considered in contemporary maturity models which focus on gradually improving specific business processes (Ahern, Clouse and Turner, 2004;

as well as (3) the use of a process architecture or hierarchy of layered process models to help orient (new) employees or estimate the impact of risks and changes.

Another way to stimulate digital innovations might be to include process performance metrics in the appraisals of all employees (instead of only departmental or individual metrics),

the human resources appraisals and rewards can support a certain way of doing business and the concretization of process-oriented values among business processes.

i e. limited to tools for tracking human resources activities or knowledge sharing databases. 4. 1 Learnings The process capability framework and the underlying maturity models illustrate that BPM can be approached from a technical perspective

etc. •The nontechnical perspective gives a broader interpretation of BPM by also focusing on process roles and responsibilities, human resources rewards, organizational values, organization chart,

other BPM researchers can relate their work to the discussed process capability framework (Fig. 1). For instance,

The Disciplinary Responsibility defines what an employee is supposed to do. This comprises signing legal contracts and issuing the power of attorney whereby Disciplinary Responsibility also bears the risk of possible organizational fault.

In contrast, Process Responsibility defines how an employee is supposed to perform an activity within a business process.

This includes budget fulfillment as well as the leading of employees (e g.,, role assignment to employees, target agreement, personnel development) within the organizational unit.

Roles of the Process Responsibility: •The Process Domain Owner is accountable for the strategic direction of a process domain.

, definition of trainings for process employees, specification of IT tools. •The Process Manager is responsible for cross-unit coordination of a process instance.

Each organizational unit is headed by a Resource Responsible who leads the employees from a disciplinary perspective.

The employees perform the process according to the formal process description issued by the Process Owner,

This maximizes the contact of the Process Manager to the employees and Resource Responsibles of the process instance,

but the contact to employees may also decrease. Due to the clustering of process instances this person can work fulltime as a Process Manager and the profession-alism (i e.,

Similar to Process Review, coordination between Process Domain Owner and Resource Responsibles on senior management level facilitates the alignment of process domain strategy and corporate strategy.

Due to the fact that the approach provides both a top-down as well as a bottom-up procedure, typical challenges like management resistance or staff rejection (Laumer & Eckhardt, 2010;

The process experts (i e.,, process architects and process managers) are involved in every phase of the process lifecycle

and they are connected very well with the employees performing the process. Thus, ideas and claims of the employees can be considered early

and help to improve the process to fit the needs of the business. Furthermore, process improvement is connected closely to corporate strategy by the †process strategy†and †strategy review†communication flows, enabling top management support (Muâ nstermann, Moâ derer,

2012), which are both key success factors to raise employee motivation and avoid rejection on their part.
