Burnout by incorrect process management

A few days ago I had a lecture by Dr. Siebecke ( Center for burnout prevention , University of Dortmund) belongs. In your lecture was specifically addressed the issue of burnout in the IT industry. During the presentation very interesting to me is quite a graphic especially noticed. The theme of the graphics load situation in innovation processes (unfortunately, I find this video anywhere on the Internet) was. This was assessed by the passive persons affected by the load process and procedural changes as a highly stressful. More distressing was only projects for the reorganization of Company.The persons involved in the implementation of a project management process are much less contaminated than the people who are affected by a process change. I should think as a project manager in a process of this project is to be aware of stress. (more ...)

Living Process Management - BPM Club in Dortmund

Yesterday was my first time in a BPM-Club Workshop here. I found the evening very interesting and could bring some interesting aspects in the field of process-oriented management for me.

After an introductory introductory round of the attending persons Fr bream, the company has introduced WILO. This was not part of the BPM for short. In preparation for the workshop was presented as the subject of BPM WILO currently handles. There were specific examples shown and discussed current problems. Following moderated Fri bream very skillfully the workshop. For the evening was the most important question: What makes a living process management?

In the first round was very open-minded assessment made as a personal BPM alive in their own companies (with major consultants when their clients) to date. The experiences of the participants here are very different from the "half dead" BPM to BPM vigorous impressions were all represented. This of course encouraged to discuss the differences and we have gathered together some of the characteristics of a living process management and beneficial or detrimental practices. By the mixed group of participants and the frank and respectful approach quickly led to constructive cooperation. As I come more from the technical area of ​​BPM, I could follow with great interest the various types of process experts, who represented her experience in the organizational implementation of process management.

Very positive to note is that there really was a real workshop. None of those present tried to exploit this platform to market their own services. There were not only local consultants, but also in-house - BPM'ler other companies. A little has unfortunately missed the representation of the user-side. According to Mr. Schnägelberger this is usually not the case, since 40% are users of the BPM-Club members.

I'm looking forward to the next workshop of the BPM-Club in early September in Cologne, and thank you again to Mrs. and Mr. Bream Schnägelberger for the successful event.
