Industry forum presentations at @BPMConf – process improvement benefits realization, IoT process mining, quality management, and deep learning of shipping container movement

To finish up my time at the academic research BPM 2019 conference, I attended one of the industry forum sessions, which highlights initiatives that bring together academic research and practical applications in industry. These are shorter presentations than the research sessions, although still have formal published papers documenting their research and findings; check those proceedings … Continue reading “Industry forum presentations at @BPMConf – process improvement benefits realization, IoT process mining, quality management, and deep learning of shipping container movement”

Integration World Day 2: Continuous Process Improvement, Continuous Business Transformation

Bruce Williams, SVP and GM of BPM Solutions for Software AG/webMethods talked about BPM and how it enables business transformation. Bruce, who I had a chance for an in-depth chat with yesterday, comes from a solid Six Sigma background — including writing books on Six Sigma and Lean — which makes his focus on process … Continue reading “Integration World Day 2: Continuous Process Improvement, Continuous Business Transformation”

Gartner Day 1: Jesper Joergensen, BEA

Another of the vendor sessions, and I’m sitting in on the BEA session, at least for Jesper’s half of the talk (I’m still torn on whether to stick around for the second half or scoot over to the Savvion user panel). BEA is really realigning their message to put equal weight on their Enterprise 2.0 … Continue reading “Gartner Day 1: Jesper Joergensen, BEA”

BPM Think Tank Day 2: Roundtable wrapup

Here’s some assorted notes on all the other roundtables that I didn’t attend: each of the facilitators gave a 3-5 minute wrap up of their discussion. The notes from all of these sessions are supposed to end up on a wiki for the conference, so there should be more information around eventually as that fills … Continue reading “BPM Think Tank Day 2: Roundtable wrapup”

BPM Think Tank Day 2: John Alden

Replacing the scheduled Bill Curtis (who had to cancel due to a family emergency), Chief Process Officer at McAfee, John Alden of Capability Measurement (which he co-founded with Curtis) gave the second day keynote on the role of the Chief Process Officer in business process improvement. Responsibilities of the CPO: Champion enterprise process discipline: quantify … Continue reading “BPM Think Tank Day 2: John Alden”

BPM Think Tank Day 1: Mike Amend

Mike Amend, deputy CTO of BEA, gave the first sponsor presentation of the day (if you don’t count the Accenture talk, which probably came about due to their sponsorship). They’re still using the “secret sauce” catchphrase that Fuego used to use, and use the same chef/cooking analogy that I saw at another conference (maybe theirs) … Continue reading “BPM Think Tank Day 1: Mike Amend”

BEAParticipate: Best Practices for Succeeding with BPM

I’m jumping around between tracks (and hence rooms): I started the afternoon in the ALUI Experience track, then on to the ALBPM Technical/Developer track, and now I’m in the ALBPM Experience track for a discussion of best practices for managing BPM projects with Dan Atwood of BEA (another former Fuego employee) and Karl Djernal of … Continue reading “BEAParticipate: Best Practices for Succeeding with BPM”

Gartner Day 2: BEA sessions

I really wanted to attend Daryl Plummer’s analyst/user roundtable on BPM and Web 2.0, but they don’t let press into those sessions, so I ducked in to hear Jesper Joergenson of BEA talk about Best Practices in Business Transformation. Jesper, I know that you’re reading this — no offence intended on being my second choice … Continue reading “Gartner Day 2: BEA sessions”

Gartner Day 1: Lombardi customer session

Metastorm and Lombardi both did something that I really dislike: instead of running two 30-minute sessions after lunch, as the schedule would indicate, they ran a 1-hour session that spanned the two 30-minute spots. Since I had planned to see one session of each, I ended up feeling a bit unfulfilled by both. Anyway, I … Continue reading “Gartner Day 1: Lombardi customer session”
