DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ross Veitch\n\nPresentation Title: Increasing the lev
 el of complete process model\nreuse in a process modelling repository\n\nA
 bstract:\nBusiness Process Modelling has become a common activity in\norga
 nisations. However\, as the number of process models increases\, the\nnumb
 er of duplicated models also increases because the same process is\noften 
 carried out in different parts of the organisation. As a result\,\nthe lev
 el of process model reuse has been found to be surprisingly\nlow\, and thi
 s leads to wasted effort modelling processes which already\nexist. Given t
 his situation\, the motivation for this study was to\ndevelop a modelling 
 method which increased the level of reuse of\nprocess models in a reposito
 ry. We named this modelling method EPReS\n(Enterprise Process Reuse System
 ). This study specifically focussed on\nimproving factors which impacted i
 ncreased process model reuse.\nIncorporated in this study is also the firs
 t method to objectively\nmeasure the Level of Reuse of process models in a
  repository. Finally\,\nthis study describes the system dynamics that are 
 setup within an\norganisation when process models are not reused.\nA pragm
 atic research paradigm was adopted to answer the research\nquestions. Usin
 g a Design Science Research strategy\, EPReS was\ndesigned and tested in a
  real-world setting in a large South African\nfinancial services organisat
 ion. A mixed-methods approach was used\,\nconsisting of semi-structured in
 terviews conducted with Process\nModellers and a quantitative analysis of 
 the process repository. EPReS\nincorporates reuse concepts from the softwa
 re development domain.\nThis study makes three contributions to knowledge.
  Firstly\, this study\ndevelops a new modelling method which increases the
  level of reuse of\nprocess models in a process repository. Secondly\, the
  study develops a\nmeasure which can be used to determine the level of pro
 cess model\nreuse in a process repository. Finally\, it explains the conse
 quences\nfor the organisation\, using system dynamics\, of not reusing pro
 cess\nmodels\, and illustrates how vicious cycles are established\, which\
 nresult in continually increasing costs. This study has made practical\nco
 ntributions as it also offers the vendors of process modelling tools\noppo
 rtunities to further enhance their products by incorporating\nelements of 
 EPReS to facilitate the increased reuse of complete\nprocess models by use
 rs.\nThis study has limitations. This research project was carried out in 
 a\nsingle organisation and data collection from semi-structured\ninterview
 s was limited to those Process Modellers who were using the\nnew modelling
  method. It is possible that other Process Modellers\ncould identify addit
 ional factors impacting the consequences of not\nreusing complete process 
 models. Also\, the new modelling method\ndesigned is dependent on the unde
 rlying architecture of the modelling\ntool in use and therefore\, this met
 hod will not be suitable for every\navailable process modelling tool. Futu
 re studies may improve the\nmethod further or better quantify the conseque
 nces of not reusing\nprocess models.\n\nBio:\nRoss has been involved in bu
 siness process management and process\nimprovement for over 25 years. He g
 raduated as a chemical engineer in\n1986\, worked for Anglo American in th
 e gold mining industry\, then\nworked for a process control consultancy wh
 ere he was involved in\ndesigning\, testing and implementing control syste
 ms in various\nindustries (mining\, brewing\, iron & steel). In 1995 he to
 ok a leap of\nfaith and took up a position at Nedbank improving and automa
 ting\nprocesses. In 2005 Ross left Nedbank to do freelance consulting work
 \nduring which he has worked at Telkom\, Engen\, Government Pension\nAdmin
 istration Agency\, BCX and again at Nedbank. He has also done\nsoftware de
 velopment in Pascal\, C++\, Visual Basic and Java. He\ncurrently contracts
  to Discovery Bank\nBeing an engineer\, his interest is in “how things w
 ork” and common\npatterns and principles across apparently unrelated iss
 ues /\nprocesses. He believes that the identification of such patterns and
 \nsynthesizing a design which accommodates different scenarios lies at\nth
 e heart of effective software and process automation. A fundamental\nactiv
 ity in process automation is the modeling of business processes\nusing a m
 odeling tool. It became apparent that organisations are\nprepared to spend
  vast amounts of money modeling processes and are\nprepared to model the s
 ame process over and over again. It makes sense\nthat processes which have
  been previously modelled should be reused in\nfuture projects to reduce c
 osts and save time.\nParticularly\, Ross is interested in maximizing the v
 alue process\nengineers through process modeling in large organizations. A
 ll (most)\nlarge organization model their business processes\, and yet\, t
 acitly\,\nmany involved will admit that they do not believe that they are 
 adding\nthe value that has been promised.
