Workshop Purpose:
How can we achieve value and improve performance across the Federal
enterprise? This workshop intends to identify obstacles that potentially
hinder the Government from improving, and conduct a collaborative search
for ways to overcome obstructions and deal with these tough issues. We
have identified four major areas for discussion at this first Enterprise
Process Improvement Community of Practice (EPIC) workshop:
1) Process Enterprise : How can we encourage Government to recognize the
value of describing, managing, and improving the processes we perform to
achieve our mission? How can we ensure that our business processes are
aligned to achieve organizational goals?
2 ) Best Practice and Standards : How can we efficiently and effectively
incorporate standards-based best practices in the work that we do every
day? What value do international and national standards provide to the
Government?
3) Management, Change, and Culture : How can we promote process
improvement with executives, business partners, and organizational
managers? Who is responsible for process improvement and enterprise
architecture? Is it beyond the CIO? How can we motivate the Government to
change?
4) Process Improvement and Enterprise Architecture : How are these
related? How can they be coordinated? How can we ensure "best practices"
are used in "to-be" processes? Can we tie process improvement to the FEA
Framework? (05)
