Brussels Area, Belgium

Leading a global team to drive increased knowledge to customers by means of building quick & easy training material to demystify complex topics in consumable formats (e.g. eLearning). Increased knowledge on complex topics / systems allows our customers to have a better experience implementing their projects; fewer questions & decision blockers throughout project life cycles, and ultimately a faster time to market. Also, leading another global team which assist product implementation process deployment into the regional teams so that the teams are ready to execute implementation projects with customers.

Applying Business Process Management (BPM) methodology to the company’s customer implementation processes.A key goal of using BPM is to align processes with business goals, seek ways to improve those processes and then establish measurements that can be used to track and monitor performance for continuous improvement and optimization. Fundamentally working through the 3 main steps:Step 1 - Process Understanding & ModelingUsing a process framework, document / model (graphically) processes with a focus on those processes that are core to the value delivered to our customers. Step 2 - Process ImprovementIn terms of improvement, identifying process inefficiencies, recommending and implementing process improvements. Step 3 - Process Automation/OptimizationEstablishing a method for improvement and applying improvements, with the support of technology (such as Pega Systems solutions). Workflows are used to enforce the way processes are performed. Process monitoring track and audit work and provide insights to process bottlenecks and problems. Automation eliminates activities performed by people as well as eliminating human mistakes. BPM technology is being used to augment/enhance current business processes.Concretely, applying BPM to existing and new processes has increased efficiency by reducing use of legacy means such as paper forms, manual data research, identifying next steps (tasks), etc. Customers are also better served in a self-service fashion via online interfaces, and can track in real time advancement of implementations. Much of the manual non-complex efforts required can be automated and hence free up resources to focus on more important tasks. Reporting & tracking of processes was almost impossible before applying BPM, after which it becomes much clearer how the processes are functioning and how to continue improvements.
