"The integrated process-oriented management system IQ MOVE of Lufthansa is an example of good process management," says Prof Dr Jan vom Brocke, and, thus, refers to the 10 principles of good business process management, which have been developed in Liechtenstein together with Mirko Kloppenburg and Michael Bögle among others. "It is effective and lean at the same time and uses modern technology. These are the reasons why we have awarded this project among the many excellent submissions," resumes the professor and initiator of the award. During the awards ceremony as part of the Industry Track of the BPM Conference in Innsbruck, Prof Dr Jan Mendling also appreciated the high practical value of the approach, which has already proven itself in use with more than 20,000 employees.
