processmodelleringsexpert

A processmodelleringsexpert is a professional who specializes in the modeling, analysis, and design of business processes to improve efficiency, quality, and alignment with strategic goals. They work across functions and industries, often within consulting firms, IT departments, or internal transformation teams.

Responsibilities include mapping current (as-is) processes, designing future (to-be) models, and documenting process flows using formal modeling languages. They identify bottlenecks, waste, and compliance gaps, define performance metrics, and propose improvements. They facilitate workshops and interviews, translate business requirements into process specifications, and maintain centralized process repositories and governance. They also support implementation through requirements for systems, data, and organizational change, and monitor post-implementation performance.

Key methods and standards: BPMN 2.0 is a common notation for process diagrams; UML activity diagrams may be used in software-oriented contexts; value stream mapping and SIPOC are used in Lean approaches. Process mining analyzes event logs to discover and validate processes. Modeling is often complemented by simulation, optimization, and qualitative analysis. The role commonly integrates with Lean, Six Sigma, and IT architecture to ensure changes are technically feasible and sustainable.

Tools: common modeling and analytics tools include BPMN-compatible editors such as Signavio, Bizagi, ARIS, Visio, and process mining platforms like Celonis or Minit.

Qualifications: typically a degree in business administration, information systems, or industrial engineering; professional certifications in BPMN, business process management, Six Sigma, or CBPP; strong analytical, facilitation, and stakeholder-management skills.
