I just sat through the BPM 2010 keynote speech given by Phil Gilbert which I thought was worth a quick note here.
He was asked to talk on the future of BPM, but clarified that he would really just focus on the the next decade with three main topics: Continue reading
Last week brought us a vigorous debate about the role of BPMN, where I took the controversial position that “BPMN 2.0 is no longer for Business Professionals“. Adam Deane collected quotes from the major contributors. Sandy Kemsley calls it “The Great BPMN Debate of 2010” and her post is a very fair summary of the debate, but missing one important aspect of it: what is a typical “business professional” and what do they desire?

Jim Sinur in his post BPMN for Business Professionals: Burn Baby Burn points strongly to the conclusion that BPMN is simply not suitable for business users. I am not surprised as this has been a topic of the case management crowd since March (see Is the Checklist mightier than the Model?). Continue reading
We held a tweetjam on the subject of Adaptive Case Management (ACM) on July 15. It is going to take me three posts to get this all in. See Part 1. This post contains part 2 which contains the bulk of the discussion of how ACM relates to BPM: is it different, and how? Continue reading
We held a tweetjam on the subject of Adaptive Case Management (ACM) on July 15. I have been on vacation since then, and only now getting around to writing about it. What a big task!

Now that we have determined that BPM is not Dead, discussion has turned in a big way to whether BPM should be redefined. Steve Towers hosted a very long discussion of this on his BP Group on Linked In, with over a hundred comments. A lively discussion, all over the map. Peter Shooff at eBizQ todays asks the question, how would you redefined it. Continue reading
Scott Francis writes an column saying “BPM is Doing Just Fine, Thankyou” saying that the rumors of BPM’s death are, as Mark Twain would put it: exaggerated. There has been a lot of interest and concern on this topic in recent weeks.
Before going too far, let me clearly state that BPM is not dead. It is vibrant and continues growing. At the same time something else is happening we should all understand. Continue reading
