Do you remember the first time you went bike without clamping the handlebars? "Hey-look-no hands!" you probably cried enthusiastically. If you're lucky you have finished bike trip, keeping a smile rather than a scraped knee.

Planning for business process management (BPM) and implementation of workflow is a bit like riding hands-free, on a larger scale. Whether or not you stay the course is not just a matter of luck. You must know where your business is headed, to understand what you're trying to reach, streamline your processes to ensure efficient routing, anticipate the unexpected, keep vigilant for change and make changes on the fly to remain stable until the end.

What is the main reason why we are automating this process? To save money? Make a faster or more convenient? Mitigate the risks?

Regarding processes of each type of document used in our organization? How automation in one area affect another?

How are exceptions handled?

Although most processes follow the standard rules, many have expected exceptions. Make sure you plan accordingly and make rules to manage them.

How can improve the automation strategy Process Document Management?

What training do you offer employees to help them embrace automation and succeed?

Training is an investment in success. When employees understand what to do, why they do, the benefits of adopting a new way, and have the tools and knowledge needed to proceed with confidence they will succeed. Without proper training, your project can not be fully accepted and you may suffer without their knowledge of underperformance.

What are the criteria we use to measure success? How will we recognize the achievements so that we can multiply them?

The objectives you clear up a first time will help you set benchmarks for achievement along the way. With a strong plan and a solid technology, success should be inevitable, but we must never take for granted. Change is stressful for employees, so you must clearly define expectations and to recognize and celebrate them as they are satisfied. As employees gain confidence and experience, they can generate ideas additional improvements that you will not want to miss.
