On Process Efficiency – Gary Comerford
Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings. They did it by killing everyone who opposed them
On BPMS Limitations – Alberto Manuel
Do you believe data stored in the data center allows you to manage your business processes adequately? Really? Don’t you agree that most of your data is useless for reports and dashboards with bells and whistle your BPMS provide?
On Organizational Decisions – Ashish Bhagwat
I wonder if all organizations actually realize that some of these non-reversible changes actually end up as the key determinant of the longer term direction that “organizational culture” takes
On the core of BPM – E. Scott Menter
Fortunately, BPM does indeed have a central tenet: returning control of business processes to the business. While business needs vary, it is a fairly universal truth that process owners and operators generally desire to have more control, and more flexibility, with respect to their processes
On Enterprise Architects – Sander Hoogendoorn
What might seem insignificant and trivial from an architectural perspective, might be complicated and elaborate from a developer’s and tester’s point of view.

On Unpredictable Business Challenges – Frank Michael Kraft
In Germany we have the term “Sportsgeist”. I don’t know exactly how to translate it. May be “Spirit of sports”. So in unpredictable challenges our sportsgeist is awakened. We want to win! We want to demonstrate, that we are champions. That’s what makes it exciting. And even if we don’t – we will try harder – or smarter, so that we will win next time.
On BI – Jonathan Gibbs
Being English has meant I grew up with an appreciation of cricket, and for those unaware of its finer points, cricket is also a statisiticians’ dream. Every aspect of the game is put under the microscope – averages for everything, cumulative totals, where an individual is in the batting line up, left handers v right handers, slow v quick, past performance by ground, opposition team, form of game etc etc. I’m sure Cricket invented BI.
