Last Friday, we had our second local BPM user group meeting. I think it went well. We had a little over 20 people show up from lots of different companies.
At the meeting, we heard AG Edwards present on building a process centric organization. Ron talked about creating a communication plan, building DTL (desktop learning), bringing in outside speakers, and other things they have done to get people ready for BPM.
We also heard Enterprise Rent-A-Car present on how they are using BPM technology and share some of their lessons learned around BPM. I think one of the most interesting ones was to plan to throw away some of your initial models because you will learn so much through iteration. It reiterated one of the key points that I try to make with clients which is jump in. Stop planning and start modeling and building.
Our next meeting with be June 15th where we will hopefully have two local presenters give the presentations they have given at national conferences. More to come on this.
