BPM isn't just a big idea. It's THE big idea for 2008 and beyond.

Suddenly "process-centricity" is hot. Red hot. Why? Because enterprises that put processes front and center consistently outperform those that don't. They're quicker to adapt to changing business conditions. They're more responsive to their customers. And they're seizing opportunities that are lifting revenue and profitability to a whole new place.

Here's the challenge: successful BPM is not just about technology. It requires a high-level vision and a collaboration between IT and business management. It demands effective metrics, actionable strategies and a commitment to organizational change.

The how, what and why of BPM in three high-focus tracks.

Track A: Creating a Process-Rich Strategy
The challenge of awakening an organization to the strategic opportunities of a process-rich business strategy must be met early in the business process maturity curve. Championing a BPM message demands business cooperation and understanding, crafting an appealing vision, and translating that vision to a strategy for action. Crafting a compelling case for BPM, identifying customer facing metrics to measure, and assigning process ownership highlight just a few of the important critical success factors. This track will focus on best practices and recommendations from Gartner analysts and leading organizations that have worked through many of the business alignment challenges.

Track B: Building the Process-Aware Organization
Technology alone will not bring about the process-aware organization. Management wisdom, difficult organizational changes, cultural re-alignment, new skills and competencies, and a deep commitment to the softer issues of BPM will be the factors most likely to make or break you along the road to process-awareness. This track will give you a solid understanding of the emerging organizational enhancements you will need to succeed. Governance, roles, responsibilities, skills, change management and cultural fit - these are the deep challenges of BPM.

Track C: Applying BPM-Enabling Technology
Business Process Management is a discipline supported by a broad family of technologies. From modeling and simulation tools, to run-time process engines; from collaboration and workflow tools to integration platforms, BPM-enabling technologies come in many flavors and bring different perspectives and capabilities to the mix. This track will examine the technical side of BPM and guide your selection of the core process-enabling technologies, products and vendors you will seek to build an agile, process-aware organization.
