I agree that ad-hoc, evolving, collaborative process are important issue, not just because of Web 2.0, but also because of email overload and the rise of knowledge work. Most ad-hoc, evolving,collaborative processes are handled via email, and I don’t think they will migrate to a BPMS anytime soon.
Don’t get me wrong, I think rules are great and will be a valuable addition to BPMS toolkits, but I don’t think we can assume that this will solve the problem of ad-hoc, evolving, human intensive business processes now being managed through meetings, documents and emails. I think managing those types of processes will require something very different than what is available in a BPMS.
I have been blogging about this intermittently under the banner of "Human Process Management" or HPM (http://exeedtechnology.com/email-and-human-process-management)
