Abstract

Organisations adopt Business Process Management (BPM) as a strategy to improve their process efficiency in order to stay competitive. However, a failure rate of 60-80% for BPM initiatives has been reported. Previous research has identified leadership as one critical success factor for BPM. This paper presents findings of a systematic literature review on the role of leadership in BPM. The findings explain the leadership styles and skills within different stages of a BPM lifecycle and show interrelationships between skills and actions.

The Leadership Influences in BPM Lifecycle

Organisations adopt Business Process Management (BPM) as a strategy to improve their process efficiency in order to stay competitive. However, a failure rate of 60-80% for BPM initiatives has been reported. Previous research has identified leadership as one critical success factor for BPM. This paper presents findings of a systematic literature review on the role of leadership in BPM. The findings explain the leadership styles and skills within different stages of a BPM lifecycle and show interrelationships between skills and actions.
