Business process models for managing “green” energy efficiency projects

The article analyzed research, standards, and project management methodologies that can be used to create and develop a “green” project management approach. On the other hand, it analyzed research in the field of engineering and process reengineering. It emphasized the features of process management as a system-building approach that integrates scenario, organizational, and project management. It formulated a vision of a generalized model for classifying the processes of a project-oriented organization, consisting of the following types of processes: main processes, auxiliary processes, organizational management processes, project and program and project portfolio management processes, IT processes, and stakeholder interaction processes. Two models were proposed to supplement such a classification – the “additional green processes” model and the “end-to-end greening of processes” model. Within the framework of using the first model, a list of basic “green” processes was proposed: development of top-level concepts of “green” development of a project-oriented organization – vision, mission, corporate culture; development of a strategy for the “green” development of a project-oriented organization; development of “green” projects of a project-oriented organization; development of a justification for the feasibility of implementing “green” projects; processing of “green” initiatives; implementation of “green” projects and monitoring of such implementation; management of the “time-cost-quality” triangle of “green” projects; risk management of “green” projects; management of stakeholder involvement in “green” projects; filling the knowledge base on the implementation of “green” projects; use of artificial intelligence functions in the implementation of “green” projects. The main “green” processes are characterized with the indication of the corresponding sub-processes responsible for their implementation and the measurability of the duration of such processes. One of the “green” processes (processing of green initiatives) is modeled using the BPMN 2.0 notation. A method of directed mosaic greening of process attributes of a project-oriented organization is proposed, consisting of 10 steps: 1) identification of foci of spontaneous crystallization of the basics of “green” management; 2) identification of tangential directions, formulation of clusters of development of “green” directions; 3) identification of leaders of opinions; 4) formation of a team; 5) development of a greening strategy; 6) development of a detailed plan; 7) implementation of a detailed plan; 8) parallel monitoring; 9) finalization of the project; 10) filling in the knowledge base. A SWOT analysis of the formulated approach to the models and method of engineering processes of “green” project management was conducted, its strengths and weaknesses were highlighted, as well as the opportunities and threats that may arise when using it. A conclusion was made regarding the potential effectiveness of such an approach. Areas for further research in the chosen direction were formulated. Conclusions from the conducted research were formulated.
