Why BPM is the key to GDPR compliance?

BPM plays especially important role in all situations related to regulations and compliance. This is not accidental. Any regulation is a set of requirements and complementary procedures necessary to fulfill these requirements. Therefore, conformance to requirements can and should be expressed in a form of a business model. GDPR is just another standard to prove this common rule together with ISO, HIPPA and many others.

Especially, in case of GDPR one may even say that its implementation literally boils down to BPM and process adjustments. How else one can plan, implement and prove GDPR compliance, if not through process driven system design? It is fairly unlikely that GDPR will cause total replacement of existing digital business platforms. Instead, platforms will be adapted to follow GDPR procedures, in other words, processes.

We may think of GDPR as one of the world's biggest BPM initiates bringing process driven practices into daily routine of every business.

Machine learning in business applications is blind without guiding role of BPM, similarly as a company is blind without its management. Despite impressive success, AI is still in its infancy in respect to its literal involvement into high level business processes. Concurrently with the increase of the role of AI in principal business contexts, there will grow demand for BPM in coordination and structuring of AI for business purposes . As in any other business domain, BPM is suitable and responsible for proper AI positioning in business. Without precise BPM governance, AI bears excessive risks for a business as any important but poorly managed and not transparent part of ongoing operations in an organization.

Skills needed for digital transformation

The crucial skill needed for a digital transformation of business is the skill to transform business architecture . Surprisingly, most experts in digital transformation are fluent in digital aspects of their favorite platforms but cannot clearly explain and foresee its impact on business as a whole. Too often digital transformation boils down to just implementation of certain digital platform or software titles. But software alone does not give any transformation as such.
