Building a strong foundation: BP Trends Associates’ recent Business Process Manifesto
We here at APQC read with interest the recently posted Business Process Manifesto from BP Trends Associates.

The manifesto is aimed at cleanly defining what business processes are and their context within an organization. As the lead for the effort Roger Burlton has again facilitated a thought provoking discussion, and the resulting document sets the stage for big things in the near future.

We have identified a few areas where we have questions ecuador mobile numbers list and feedback based upon the effort to date, and intend to work with Roger and his team closely bring our resources to bear on this challenge.

To all of the contributors to this effort: don’t stop – the work is not yet complete – and we are excited to be a part of this discussion.

In early October process and performance management professionals came together for APQC’s first ever, three-day virtual summit. This year’s event—Challenging the As Is—focused on the myriad of ways that process and performance professionals move beyond the status quo.

The idea of challenging the as-is, is at the heart of process and performance teams everywhere. It’s what we do in our roles of operational excellence and continuous improvement. However, its also an imperative that we practice what we preach. This requires taking a hard look at our programs to ensure they are still fit for purpose. Finally, challenging the as-is requires an array of methodologies, capabilities, and even technologies for our toolkit; ensuring we apply the “right” tool for the project.

Speakers throughout the summit built on these themes of improvement, efficacy, and a robust toolkit to make excellence happen.
