ProcessDays 2008 - The BPM Tipping Point
“That moment where the idea of process-based management achieves critical mass and the momentum for change becomes undeniable.” How can we create and maintain the conditions where process management becomes a highly contagious idea?

Our theme at Leonardo ProcessDays this year is The BPM Tipping Point. The general program shape has been designed to give us plenty of flexibility to respond to your interests and questions. We are extremely interested in your ideas about the ProcessDays program. If you have some topics or talking points you’d like to see covered then please let us know.

We have started the discussions of ProcessDays early this year. Join in to debate the issues and shape the program at the ProcessDays 2008 blog below.
