Title: Business Process Management Maturity

Abstract: Organisations recognize the need for an increased process orientation and require appropriate frameworks, which help to scope, evaluate and progress their business process management (BPM) initiatives. This is evidenced by the plethora of emerging models that attempt to measure BPM maturity and/or capability. Despite their increasing number there are many issues with existing models including: a lack of a strong theoretical foundation; limited empirical testing; narrow scope; and a lack of support from a rigorously developed assessment instruments. This research uses a multi-method approach to address these issues. Initial efforts are focused on the development of a holistic, theoretically sound, rigorously developed and tested BPM maturity model. The proposed model leverages existing BPM knowledge and incorporates contemporary BPM thinking using a combination of research methods including literature review, the Delphi technique, case studies and embedded surveys.

Furthermore, whilst there has been significant research in the BPM domain, little has occurred with respect to developing BPM theory. As the BPM maturity model is designed to assess the progression of BPM practices it provides a solid platform from which to further explore how BPM evolves within organisations. As such, this research will aim towards a theory on the evolutionary path/s of BPM within organisations.
