Business Process Management at Wells Fargo Advisors
Businesses must improve their processes continuously in order to remain competitive and achieve success. Failure to make process improvement a priority will result in higher costs and lower revenue. Also, your customers will be less satisfied and your employees less motivated if you continue to process “the same way as we always do” and never embark on an effort for improvement. Whether it resides with some sort of exception handling, invoice payment, or human resource procedure, every company has at least one broken manual process. To make matters worse, many companies may utilize several software applications to facilitate the completion of a process.
Business Process Management (BPM) is a discipline that can optimize, execute, control, and automate your process. BPM can also measure and analyze your process to provide real-time metrics to make business decisions and influence future improvement efforts.
In short, BPM simplifies and streamlines your process to keep it running smoothly. According to Gartner, BPM brings attention to the highest-value processes — the ones that are most aligned with the business goals and strategy — for the best return on investment. [McCoy, David W. (2011, July 22) Business Process Management (BPM) Key Initiative Overview.]

What’s New in IATF 16949:2016 for Automotive Suppliers?
ISO/TS 16949:2009 has a new name and a few new changes. The Automotive OEM’s are raising expectations to address systemic weaknesses in supply chain performance. They are adding new requirements for auditors, safety, and corporate responsibility. And they are adopting the same High Level Structure used in the ISO 9001:2015 standard.
NOTE: ISO/TS 16949:2009 certificates will be invalid after 9/14/18 and no CB Audits will take place for ISO/TS 16949:2009 after 10/1/17. If you have a registration or surveillance audit occurring within the next twelve months, you need to have a plan in place NOW!
Learn about the changing requirements in IATF 16949, how they might affect you, and what you need to know for the transition.

Engaging Employees in the Digital Age.
Digital transformation is a buzzword phrase these days, and arguably the transformation has been occurring for decades. Today, we can pick up our phones and do things that would previously take large computers to do, if they even could. At times digital becomes annoying, but tools are emerging that can allow us to engage employees on teams and in departments like never before, whether they’re in the same room or scattered across the globe. To Tom, the smart use of these tools is CI at work – they can keep teams more connected, helping them to get things done faster and better. He looks forward to sharing his insights and real-world examples with you.
