Welcome to the dedicated Innovation Section of BPMInstitute.org.

What strikes fear in the hearts of today’s business leaders? Commoditization and Globalization. Unless a company can innovate, it cannot make margins and will be marginalized as a commodity player. Unless a company can innovate, it will be left behind in the brave new world of total global competition. But, what exactly is innovation, and how does innovation happen? These are the most important business questions of our times. In this Innovation Section we will explore the many facets of innovation and distinguish between Business Innovation and the notion of invention. Business Innovation isn't some occasional event; it's an ongoing process that companies must master if they are to set the pace of innovation in their industries. And that's precisely what will separate the winners from the losers in the 21st century.

Topics covered will include many of the most cited issues around Business Innovation. They include:

  • Customer-Driven Innovation
  • Business Innovation as the Commercialization of Invention
  • The Globalization of Innovation
  • The Key Types of Business Innovation (Business Model Innovation, Business Process Innovation, and Product or Service Innovation)
  • The Science of Innovation and Innovation as a Business Process
  • BPM and the Pace of Innovation
  • The Collaboration Capabilities Needed for the Innovation Process
  • Overcoming the Innovation Killers in an Organization

Through articles by a variety of guest authors and round tables featuring industry thought leaders and practitioners, our focus will be on the alignment of strategies, processes, performers, measures, technologies and management to innovate innovation itself.

This article will provide a definition of enterprise business process...

Featured Innovation Article

Measuring System Quality
By: Charles L. Owen, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Institute of Design Illinois Institute of Technology

How should the quality of a system be measured? More particularly, how should quality be ascertained when the system is complex and incorporates important components not readily evaluated by quantitative means?

Systems’ thinking has evolved since the surge of interest during World War II. We now expect systems to include artifacts, communications, activities, events, experience, policies,...

BPM - Presentations
Co-Chair Keynote: Dimensions of Business Change
Featuring: Brett Champlin, Co-Chair and President, ABPMP.org

How do you manage business change? Many methodologies provide a one-size-fits-all approach that treats all business transformation efforts as if they were no more than minor variations on a theme.
