Taking The BPM Message To The Corner Office

As long as the BPM dialogue is restricted to technologists and BPM insiders, it's likely to become just another technique for squeezing out costs and making incremental performance improvements. Taking the message to "corner office" executives places BPM in its proper business context and positions it to its full potential as a technique to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. CIOs and their organizations must alert other C level executives about the true business case for BPM: It's all is about time-based competition and setting the pace of innovation in your industry.

In this Webinar, BPM visionary and author, Peter Fingar, will arm you with a framework to help you shape the dialogue within your organization and create a case for action for business executives who must prepare their companies for today’s new world of extreme competition.
