TweetEarlier this year, I went to Milan for the International BPM conference for a look at the academic side of BPM conferences, and was completely won over: in my coverage, I highly recommended that BPM vendors send someone from their architecture/design team to listen in on the BPM research that is being done in the [...]
TweetIn a post about collaboration, of all things, a Gartner analyst shows how not to interact with his blog’s readers.

TweetThese are my links for December 19th: Computer ownership | The Economist – Computers owned per 100 people — figures by country from 2006.

TweetDon Tapscott is definitely enamored of his kids and their generation: in 1999′s Growing Up Digital: The Rise of the Net Generation, he predicted how their generation would reshape society, and in his latest book, Grown Up Digital: How the Net Generation is Changing Your World, he practically deifies them. I agree with a lot [...]

TweetThese are my links for December 12th: Business Process Improvement – I just found out about Gartner’s Business Process Improvement blog, which doesn’t appear to have an RSS feed, which means that I won’t be reading it regularly.
