Speakers:

Robert Ablett

Abstract:

This session covers the experience and lessons learnt implementing IBM BPM, specifically what used to be called the Lombardi capability. Ascendant Europe had a requirement to completely overhaul their recruitment process. The business had expanded via a recent merger which offered an opportunity to standardise on HR processes. A decision was taken to dramatically improve the recruitment process as a first phase of a larger transformation project. The Ascendant team decided to use IBM Lombardi as the technology to underpin the process improvement initiative. We will share our experience on implementing BPM within our own organisation, together with the key lessons learnt.
