Process standardization has become significant in today’s business environment. It prepares the way for efficient digitalization and the “Composable Enterprise”.

These are questions discussed in this webinar.
Appropriate process standardization has a significant impact on the performance of companies. It lays the foundation to achieve best value from digital transformation and helps to prepare for the Composable Enterprise. A systematic and pragmatic approach to standardize processes includes topics like identifying required context-driven variants and how to address effectively different aspects of a business process, such as organizational roles or enabling digital technologies. Levels of detail and abstraction of the standardization are defined based on the standardization goals. Effective process standardization leverages reference models as accelerator as wll as appropriately defined process governance to sustain the standardization results.
