This morning's presentation

Hope everyone enjoyed my presentation on the "BPM Revolution" this morning. The analogy occured to me a couple of months ago while discussing "information democracy". Sometimes it's fun to use analogies and a bit of humor to encourage us to look at some pretty complex problems.

It reminds me of a skit that Frank Buytendijk and I used to do while at Gartner, called the "BI Paradox", where he played the business user and I played the "IT guy". We used this skit to address the fundamental differences between the two cultures, approaches and even languages. This underscores a "truth" surrounding BPM -the greatest challenges are human and not technological.

I hope that today's presentation helped to bring some things into focus and have helped you to bring the BPM Revolution to your organization.

P.S. You might note that I did not include Finance as one of the "camps". Any guesses as to what we would have called them, had they been included???

See you around the show floor!
