Insurance is a complex business which operates in strict regulatory requirements and with the help of multiple channels and customer locations, hence it is imperative to have a process centric, customer oriented business model. Given the dynamic changes in the industry, the organization needed to adopt innovative ways to optimize its business processes and manage across various cross functions in the value chain.  \nAfter evaluating multiple solutions available globally, we selected the BPM tool, ARIS (Architecture of Integrated Information System). In order to move the organization from the current level of Process documentation (BPM effort), a comprehensive project, BPM Next was created with huge consideration on effective change management among stakeholders for smooth transition.  \nThis paper is about learning how successful deployment of the tool is done to this scale as a first experience in Insurance Industry in particular and Service industry at large. It highlights, how the team anticipated and managed the challenges, responded to the constraints, considerations for project management wrt SME timeline and quality of value add through design architecture and modeling 150+ processes to create a true leap in the BPMjourney and a foundation for Daily Management.  \nKeywords: BPM, ARIS, Value Chain, BSE, SME, PO, SMAC, Change Management  \n1. Background:  \nAny organization is made up of People, Process & Technology, where ‘Processes’ connect the customers to the organization’s people and technology. They provide experience of product & service delivery and create new value for sustainable results. In simple word, a process can be explained as a set of interconnected activities that help convert ‘Input’ to ‘Output’.  \nInsurance as a business is a process centric, people focused and multi geography, customer oriented business. HDFC Life as an organization believes in being agile, aligned and ahead of the crowd. HDFC Life as an organization is constantly striving to create a sustainable competitive advantage in the strictly regulated market and it must adopt innovative ways to optimize its business processes to address and achieve strategic priorities—such as cost competitiveness, differentiation and growth.  \n2. Complexity of Insurance Business:  \nInsurance is a highly process centric industry where the ‘Trust ’ of people plays a key role both internally & externally. The dynamic nature of this business & the aggressive competitive environment puts processes at the centre stage & ‘right process definition & management ’ becomesan imperative. Insurance business architecture can be seen in the Figure 1  \nThis complex structure can be explained through classification of processes into set of ‘Core’&‘Non Core or Support’ Processes. Core Processes include Product Management, Sales  \nManagement, New Business, Policy Servicing (including Persistency) & Payout processes. For these processes to function efficiently there are a set of support processes like People Management, Audit/Risk  \nManagement, Finance  \nManagement, Technology and Change Management. Generally an insurance business revolves around these 10 critical to business processes (CTB) .  \nFigure 1: Insurance Process House  \n3. Journey of Process Documentation in HDFC Life:  \nAs per Gartner, Business Process Management (BPM) is the discipline of managing processes (rather than tasks) as the means for improving business performance outcomes and operational efficiency.  \nA formal journey of process documentation began in January 2011 under the banner of ‘Project Sambhav’ in order to ensure that all t","cbCaioLFDpK3xwIC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioLFDpK3xwIC","pdf",569171,"English","# 1.
