Presentation Abstract

The Whole Nine Yards or Inch by Inch? - Which strategy is the right one? As IT organizations become more involved in the brave new world of e-business development, most have discovered that Process Management has become unavoidable. Both the business and application processes are exposed to problems as never before. The traditional reliance on informal knowledge transfer and learning is typically too slow to adapt to the accelerating pressures of business and technology change.

By factoring in an organizations business goals, culture, industry, and demographics into each of the available options, it is a fairly simple process to determine which options should be quickly eliminated, and which process management solutions merit further consideration. From that point, we will be able to consider the pros and cons of the short list of process management options. This session is ideal for managers who are in the process of evaluating (or re-evaluating) enterprise process management and what impact it would have upon their enterprise.
