Google gets workflow wings with KiSSFLOW. Can they democratize BPM?

An April Fool’s joke from last year, my post on Google entering BPM with Noodle, continues to get views every day. I always wonder how many readers may be taking it seriously, it was a joke after all. Some of what I wrote was, and still is, plausible. Meanwhile, though, Google and their partners continue Continue reading

Google leapfrogs into BPM with Noodle!

Google has finally arrived into the Enterprise space with their Enterprise BPM offering called Noodle (named after process spaghetti!). They have silently put together their technology and shaped them beautifully into what we have been missing “in one single platform” for a long time. Here’s a sneak-peek at what they have unleashed out of the blue… Continue reading

Will Social Networking Wave Wash Away Centers of Excellence?

Theo Priestly brought up a stirring point and claimed that social wave while removing silos will also bring the extinction of the COEs. Well, I disagree. In this post I cover the premise of BPM COE, and the the reasons I do not believe that BPM COEs could get washed away with the social wave. Continue reading

Bridge Those Silos with Incentive Alignment and KPIs

Silos within the organizations boil down to plain WIIFM (What’s In It For Me?), the way organizations measure performance and the type of behaviors they encourage. There’s a relationship among KPIs, Objectives, Expectations, Inspection, and Incentives. We can bridge the silos by understanding this, and effectively using the technology and tools available to us once… Continue reading

Social is a Phenomenon, not another Discipline/Practice!

Yesterday in Forrester #crmjam on Twitter, Social (networking, not cause!) aspects got a lot of attention. One of the converging points, as per Theo, is around social BPM and social CRM.

Unified Communication will play an important role in BPM (why ignore it?)

Most of the current focus of Social BPM is around Web 2.0 and social networking. It’s amusing that Unified Communication (UC) has been overlooked. Social media do their bit in terms of bringing people together on some of these media. But, a whole lot of duplication of collaboration effort can be reduced drastically by leveraging… Continue reading
