Implementation
Most resistance to BPI comes from within an organization. Managers often do not wish to change existing structures. The labor force may resist BPI because of fears of layoffs; however, an organization using BPI on a regular basis, argue many proponents, will already have the proper work force to meet existing business challenges.
Some organizations have implemented BPI on a smaller scale and reported success, by doing the following:
- Start with a small process that can be completed in a short time frame.
- Set clear timelines.
- Do not spread resources thinly and focus on the short term payoff.
- Management and primary stakeholders must be involved, or else even a limited implementation will fail.
