Workshop description:

Business Decision Management provides great opportunities for improving processes.  The first part of this workshop dives into the opportunities and methods for improving Business Processes.  This will part includes:

• Comparing processes before and after the implementation of the Business Decision Management
• Decision Model Primer
• Implementation details

The second part of this workshop is a case study describing my experience with using BPM and BDM to automate complex regulations and enterprise policies across a large global enterprise. 

After gathering requirements from across the globe, we selected a BPM vendor and hired their best consultants to ensure good results.  However, life is not that easy. We lacked the ability to present complex rules in a format that the business and IT understood.  We implemented BDM during a major upgrade.  This resulted in a 10% to 25% reduction in development time, plus many other benefits.
