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.

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

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:

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

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

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

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.

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.

where companies no longer have employees, but partners, and the goal is not profit, but creating value. 4. 4 Execution Phase for External Participants In the execution phase,

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.

Solutions to a lack of innovation need to address various aspects of primarily cultural and strategic nature at an organization†s executive and board level (Leavy, 2005), characterizing innovation as an essential multilevel

For example, many innovation workshops involve experts about the field, the product, the method, and so forth, whose opinions are valued typically highly.

In turn, project teams are reinforced by experts who expand the overall bandwidth of resources and provide the knowledge needed for innovation. •Unbiased observation:

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.

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

Interviews with domain experts or potential model users can give guidance concerning the requirements that the reference model should fulfil. •Literature review:

Non-experts hire experts to create models, yet the non-experts nevertheless need to understand these models.

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

This is crucial considering that one of the BPM goals of this company is to use the process models as a work manual for employees.

when an employee (new or existing) views the process map, he or she should gain a basic understanding of how the company operates as a whole.

If the employee requires some additional in depth information about a particular process then the process model details from the lower levels of the corresponding process architecture have to be inspected.

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.

which a manager could ensure that employees are aligned with the company†s strategy? This chapter describes a design approach

while employees are guided through the execution of the workflow, they are informed also about the company†s strategic goals and how these affect the execution of their activities.

while employees are guided through the execution of the workflow, they are informed also about the company†s strategic goals and how these affect the execution of their activities.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

strategic requirements may affect the way the employee performs his job. We call a strategic recommendation any information that helps the user take decisions

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

while another adapter may warn the employee that the order is delayed and should have processing priority to avoid customer complaints.

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

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.

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,

After the addition of the Finance†s adapter, the employee that is executing the Shipment Planning process will also be informed that his decision affects the FCF of the organization and that, in certain instances,

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,

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 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.

Finally, the proposal is presented to the senior management and confirmed within the Strategy Review meeting. Based on this proposal

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.
