| 5 Differentiating Skills of a BPM Consultant |
Introduction
Being a BPM consultant is not easy. You need to have the knowledge and experience to solve complex business problems. But you also need more than that. There are several skills that make your work as a BPM consultant stand out from the rest of the crowd and help you get more assignments/projects. I'd like to share with you my top 5 differentiating skills of a BPM Consultant:
Process Analyst
As an analyst, you must have a deep understanding of the business process you are designing, including the following:
Business requirements
Business objectives
Business impact (e.g., revenue generated)
Contexts in which your solution will be used (e.g., regulatory constraints)
As a result of this expertise, you should be able to answer questions such as these: What is the goal of this process? Why do we want to automate it? For whom is it important that we do so? How will we measure success?
Experience of full life cycle BPM projects
You should have experience of full life cycle BPM projects.
You should understand the different phases of a BPM project.
You should be able to identify the stakeholders and their roles in a BPM project.
You should be able to understand the different tools and techniques used in a BPM project.
Educator/Trainer

Problem Solver
Problem solving is a critical skill for a BPM consultant. Achieving positive outcomes in BPM projects requires a high degree of problem solving ability, and this can be the difference between success and failure.
Many people think of problem solving as merely being good at finding solutions to problems; however, there's more to it than that. Problem solving skills are not only important for finding solutions: they also allow you to identify problems before they occur as well as develop preventative measures so that when issues do arise, they will be less severe.
Mentor/Coach
Mentor/Coach
Mentor is a word that can have many meanings. You might think of a mentor as someone who teaches you new skills, shows you the ropes on how to do something or helps guide you through situations where you need support. A coach is a mentor with an added layer of performance improvement and accountability. The difference between a traditional mentor and coach is that the latter will also help you develop your skills so that they are ready for whatever comes next in your life. This may mean taking on difficult tasks alone or working hard to improve the way we communicate with others so we can better present our ideas in meetings or interviews.
