New book: Questioning BPM? 109 answers by 33 authors to 15 key questions about Business Process Management

Roger Tregear, the head of BPM at Leonardo Consulting, came up with a great idea:  Why not define a number of key questions about BPM and then ask a number of well-known BPM consultants, practitioners and academics to provide brief answer those questions.  The book would fill a need for up-to-date information as to the current state of business process management. 

The editors Roger Tregear and Paul Harmon invited process practitioners, vendors, authors, academics and consultants from around the world to answer our 15 key questions. They responded magnificently with 109 answers. They have answers from 33 thought leaders from across the spectrum of process views and approaches. 

They have discovered three conclusions about BPM. First, there are always new people asking the same questions others before them have asked. Second, no answers fit all situations, because people from different organizations with different needs have different perspectives. And, finally, the answers keep changing as technology, circumstances, and the things that people seek to do, change as well. 

This book will make you think. Answers to the same question will be different, often very different, and occasionally they are quite contradictory. In this book, you will not find a definitive, one best answer. You will find different answers argued convincingly by people who believe passionately in their particular BPM worldview. Each of us needs to make our own choices and determine our own answers.
