BPM Principles Apply to Global Challenges:

Caspar and Russell explore how core BPM concepts—like executive sponsorship, stakeholder management, process standardization, and governance—can guide the complex task of integrating 27 national defence systems into a unified European force.

Sponsorship is the Make-or-Break Factor:

Without a clear, strong executive sponsor at the top (think EU leaders or NATO chairs), no integration effort—be it in BPM or defence—can succeed. Alignment across diverse stakeholders is critical.

Start with the Big Picture:

Focus first on high-level domains—procurement, logistics, supply chain, and governance structures—before diving into the country-specific details. This “macro-first” approach mirrors how BPM projects tackle mergers and complex transformations.

Balance Autonomy and Alignment:

A key challenge in both BPM and political integrations: how much decision power are you willing to centralize, and what stays local? Caspar and Russell emphasize the importance of aligning on purpose while respecting diversity—whether it’s between business units or countries.

Communication is the Glue:

For any large-scale change—be it BPM initiatives or building a European defence—clear, consistent communication is essential to maintain buy-in and momentum, especially over long timeframes.

Logistics and Supply Chain are Core:

Defence success, much like process excellence, ultimately relies on a robust supply chain—the ability to get the right materials to the right place at the right time.

A Call for BPM Mindset at the Global Level:

Caspar and Russell wrap up with a playful reflection: maybe they should get a call from Brussels—because a BPM lens can provide valuable perspectives, even for geopolitical challenges.
