To accomplish these the mindset of the whole organization must change.

Business Process Management (BPM) has become a leading technology to better businesses process efficiencies. As part of all processes, important decisions are made. Business rules sharpen these decisions in both their accuracy and in their ability to derive better decisions to further enhance business agility.
As the world’s marketplaces become increasingly more global, business competition reaches new extremes.
In today’s volatile business climate, agility and flexibility are two requirements for survival.

Organizations typically undertake periodic process improvement that are focused on specific business processes and may or may not align with the business strategy.

After all, standards reduce the costs of vendor lock-in, simplify training and support, reduce risk of vendor failure, facilitate component integration and reuse, support interoperability of systems and processes, expand the choice of compatible technology, and promote agility in a changing world.
The core of a business's integrity lies within its policies and rules and their management. The rules must be separated business processes if an organization is to know what the rules are, where the rules guide business decisions, and anticipated business impact when rules change. This presentation offers a practical approach for integrating a business rules approach, especially where BPM and BRE technology come together.
