		<description><![CDATA[The question is often asked why you would need BPM software if your business already has implemented ERP and business specific applications. What makes a process important and why does it matter? If you are in a competitive market, then it does matter. Porter recognised this in the mid eighties and wrote Competitive Advantage: Creating [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pfpc.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4248600&amp;post=20&amp;subd=pfpc&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am taking the headline from a newspaper article in the Tuesday 10th February 2009 edition of the Australian Financial Review. I couldn&#8217;t have said it better.

		<description><![CDATA[As mentioned in a previous post in this blog, Business Process and Performance Management (BPPM) support the business value drivers that determine the valuation of a business in the long term. I listed 6 drivers from Jack Alexander&#8217;s book and 3 of them are crucial in an economic downturn as we see it now.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Hindsight is an exact science&#8221; the saying goes. Nothing is more true in the turmoil that we&#8217;ve seen in the financial markets in the past few weeks. Taking &#8220;toxic&#8221; financial assets and turning them into derivative investment assets seem to be the root cause of the current financial crisis. Major players in that market, for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pfpc.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4248600&amp;post=15&amp;subd=pfpc&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Their expectation is that the management teams will increase the value of their interest and generate wealth. It is as simple as that. Non-profit organisations have the same requirements in many instances where the management teams are required to maximise the available funds [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pfpc.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4248600&amp;post=10&amp;subd=pfpc&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BPM is one of those acronyms that have different meanings to different interest groups in the same market. Business executives and managers commonly refer to Business Process Management or Business Performance Management as BPM. But they are distinctly different concepts. Or so we have believed up to now. We&#8217;ve had different consultants, methodologies, supporting technologies [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pfpc.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4248600&amp;post=6&amp;subd=pfpc&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
