You have chosen to start your BPM journey and are now asking yourself the question “how *DO* I get started?”. Well, one way is to look at a BPM Adoption Framework, the other is to ask someone who has done that before.
We are lucky to speak with someone who fulfills both criteria – our guest today is Caspar Jans, who also already has been a guest in an earlier episode on the show before 🙂
Since then he has raised his profile in the BPM space and was recognized as a thought leader and Top 50 voice in operational excellence by the PEX / Process Excellence Network in 2023. In this year he not only continuous to publish his thoughts in his newsletter, but also starts a podcast in which he and his co-host look at BPM from a holistic perspective / from every angle.
In this episode of the podcast we are talking about:
- The evolution of Caspar’s thinking about BPM since the first episode we had him as a guest
- The origins of his BPM Adoption Framework
- Where it can be used (green-field or brown-field BPM implementations)
- The areas of the framework
- Sponsorship
- Governance
- CoE
- Human Affairs
Caspar is easy to reach on LinkedIn and also has a website that contains his writings (and his newsletter “Process Extraordinaire Weekly” on LinkedIn here). He also starts a new podcast BPM360 which you can find here: https://www.bpm360podcast.com/.
