Bringing Business & IT Leaders Together to Tackle Process

Everyone talks about aligning IT with business. Business processes are where this happens - where the right technology can help evaluate, re-design, streamline, automate, integrate, monitor and improve the processes that determine the operational success of every enterprise.

The theory of Business Process Management has been around for a while, but the practice is just starting to ramp up in some of Europe's most competitive companies. And the benefits are there for all to see: faster innovation, improved responsiveness, lower costs, happier customers, higher profits. You can't get more aligned with business than that.

If BPM isn't yet important to your client's organization, there's still time to catch up. If it is, the Gartner BPM Summit is the perfect place to set your strategy, tighten your tactics, prune your priorities and accelerate your activities.

Some of the key topics are:

• The top BPM drivers: Business Agility, Innovation, Process Quality, Productivity, Compliance
• Defining a BPM strategy, evaluating the impact and making the business case
• The new BPM methodologies & metrics to continuously optimize processes
• Alignment: creating a true business and IT partnership around processes
• Key BPM technologies: process monitoring, business modelling, business rules, process sequencing, business process platforms?
• BPM as a process itself: applying approaches ranging from ISO 9000, ITIL and BPR to Six Sigma, TQM and lean management
• Optimizing existing processes and workflow management
• BPM and Service-Oriented Architecture: the dynamic duo
• Change Management: the hidden BPM success factor
• Process-centric competition: the rewards of the process-centric organization
• BPM in Europe: benchmarking against the rest of the world
• The BPM Roadmap: future trends and converging technologies
• BI and Business Activity Monitoring: the implications for BPM
