    Business Decision Management Home Page

    Welcome to the Dedicated Business Decision Management Section of BPMInstitute.org.

    This section serves Practitioners with an interest in successful BDM approaches and how they complement BPM. This Business Decision Management Home Page offers great variety in Business Process Management-Business Decision Management expertise, technology, and opinions. Like multiple generations peacefully co-existing, there are no biases, no judgments, no wrong answers. Instead, we share every tip, technique, opinion, and approach that really works.

    The goals of this Business Decision Management Home Page and our Business Decision Management Bulletin are to:

        • Promote successful aspects of the BDM approach
        • Tighten its connection to BPM
        • Welcome contributions from all readers

    BPM and Business Decision Management areas of coverage include those that our Members have asked for, such as: 

        • Bringing together BPM and BRE technology
        • Redefining roles of IT and Business People in BPM
          and Business Decision Management
        • Developing Capable BPM and BDM Analysts
        • Building BPM and Business Decision Management Systems
        • Delivering ROI with BPM and BRE technology
        • Directing the future of BPM and Business Rules Software

    On the road ahead, BPM will lead the way to renewed and newly invented processes. A Business Rules Approach will ensure old rules give way to agile ones. The powerful BPM and BRE combination is only in its first generation. We look forward to serving you and providing guidance to ensure the success of your Business Decision Management and BPM initiatives.
