Keith Swenson and I will be presenting a webinar this Thursday at 2pm ET, sponsored by Fujitsu, on the topic of agile and social BPM. You can register here. From the description: Think that Agile Business Process Management (BPM) is not for you because you don’t have simple processes that follow the same path every [...]
Dennis Howlett has a post today about paper.li, a service to create a daily roundup of the content collected by the people who you follow on Twitter. Sound confusing? Click through to read Dennis’ article and the one that he points to by Neville Hobson. Basically, if I follow you on Twitter and you tweet [...]
Although we didn’t have a chance for a demo, I had a quick briefing with Greg Carter, Metastorm’s CTO, on the announcements that they made today. M3 Collaborative Modeling We discussed M3, their cloud-based collaborative process modeling tool. This is one of the first BPA/BPM offerings that I’ve seen on the Microsoft Windows Azure platform, [...]
It’s noon, the keynotes have been going on all morning, and I have only just been inspired to blog. I’m not saying that standalone Enterprise 2.0 initiatives have jumped the shark, but there’s only so much rah-rah about enterprise collaboration that I can take before I fall back on three thoughts: Collaboration is already going [...]
It’s been quiet on the travel scene since my four-week marathon of conferences in May, and I have just one last one before we hit the summer doldrums: Enterprise 2.0 in Boston this week. I’m skipping the workshops today and heading down this afternoon – luckily, Toronto-Boston is covered by Porter Airlines, so I can [...]
If you were interested in the presentation that I did last week at Toronto Wiki Tuesday on using wikis with enterprise content management and process management, here’s an audio recording of it made by Robert Lavigne. There’s a fair amount of background noise from the projector fan and the clinking of beer glasses, but it’s [...]
Here are the slides from the presentation that I did last night at Toronto Wiki Tuesday: Using Wikis With Enterprise Content and Process Management View more presentations from Sandy Kemsley. It was recorded on Ustream, but the quality is not very good since we were in a pub, not a studio. There will be a [...]
I’m presenting at Toronto Wiki Tuesday tonight on the interaction between wikis, ECM and BPM. The organizers might be setting up to broadcast this live on Ustream; if so, I’ll update this post later today with the URL of the video stream. Update: the presentation will be streamed live here at 7pm ET tonight.
Social BPM saw a flurry of activity last week in the BPM blogosphere for some reason; I’ve been writing and presenting on social BPM for about four years now, so most of this isn’t new to me, but it’s good to see the ideas starting to permeate. Keith Swenson writes on who is socializing in [...]
Today’s keynote was focused on customers and how they improving their processes in order to become more agile, reduce costs and become more competitive in the marketplace. After a talk and intro by Carrie Lee, business news correspondent and WSJ columnist, Beth Smith and Shanker Ramamurthy of IBM hosted Richard Ward of Blue Cross Blue [...]
Back to the breakouts for the rest of the afternoon, I attended a presentation and demo by Michael Friess of IBM’s BBlingen R&D lab on using Business Space to build user interfaces for human-centric processes. Business Space is what I would call a mashup environment, although I think that IBM is avoiding that term because [...]
Yes, I know that today is not Tuesday, but this is about our previous Toronto Wiki Tuesday, a monthly meetup where we have a presentation on wikis, lift a few pints and hobnob with wiki specialists such as Martin Cleaver (who also organizes Wiki Tuesdays) and Mike Dover (responsible for the research behind Wikinomics, and co-author [...]
BPM standards, I mean. Yesterday saw the public beta launch of the Business Process Incubator; although this was inadvertently announced by Robert Shapiro during a public webinar last month, it only moved out of closed preview yesterday. I had a briefing from Denis Gagné of Trisotech, one of the driving forces behind BPI, and have [...]
Today, IBM announced their cloud strategy and roadmap; I was at the analyst update last week and had a chance to hear about it first-hand from IBM execs, a customer and a partner. Erich Clementi, who heads enterprise initiatives at IBM, started the briefing by showing their cloud evolution over the past year, and plans [...]
There has been much speculation in the BPM world about Software AG’s online BPM community, originally dubbed AlignSpace, or as it has been recently renamed, ARISalign. Originally launched in a private beta months ago, those of us on the outside have been anticipating a look at how they plan to “combine social networking tools with [...]
I recently wrote a paper for the February Cutter IT Journal called Runtime Collaboration and Dynamic Modeling in BPM: Allowing the Business to Shape Its Own Processes on the Fly. It’s available on the web to Cutter subscribers, and in the printed journal. In the article, I deal purely with the topic of runtime collaboration, [...]
I had a briefing a couple of weeks ago on IBM BlueWorks by Angel Diaz and Janine Sneed from the BlueWorks team. BlueWorks is IBM’s cloud-based BPM environment, providing the following capabilities: Browser-based modeling, including strategy maps, capability maps, process maps and BPMN processes. Pre-built content to supplement or replace a BPM center of excellence [...]
In my conversations with several people this week, I’ve mentioned the Enterprise 2.0 Adoption Council as a place to start for finding out information about companies that are actually implementing this stuff. The Enterprise 2.0 Adoption Council gathers together managers from large organizations who are spearheading these efforts inside their company. The site includes research [...]
I’m at the Software 2010 conference held by the Norwegian Computing Society in Oslo this week, and gave the opening keynote on one of the tracks this morning: how Business Process Management is being impacted by social software and social networking: Business Process Management Meets Enterprise 2 0 View more presentations from Sandy Kemsley. I [...]
Although social software and BPM is an underlying theme in a lot of the presentations that I give, today at the Business Rules Forum is the first time that I’ve been able to focus exclusively on that topic in a presentation for more than 3 years. Here’s the slides, and a list of the references [...]
