For some reason, I have seen the same article misquoted by multiple people. The other BPM (Business Performance Management) was mentioned as failing at 3/4 of firms in IT Week. Don't be fooled.

Oh, my friend, I was... many weeks ago. I read through the article and THAT BPM's problems sounded oddly familiar to THIS BPM's problems.
I bet the problems with most things can all boil down to the same issue... people are involved, with the best of intentions, yet, the worst of reasons.

Good point. I shouldn't imply that BPM doesn't have it's challenges, but I am not sure I want to see people quoting 75% failure rates yet either.

I am convinced that to successfully lead a BPMS project you have to have a leader who has a good background in continual improvement (lean, Deming, Juran, Six Sigma) and someone who has good technology development process (CMMI) experience. This brings together business acumen and it development.
Just found the blog - looking forward to participating.
