Ovum’s Decision Activator: An interactive BPM solution exercise
BPM makes business sense, but putting together the business case and getting started is often the
first stumbling block. If you are thinking about implementing BPM, re-thinking your approach or
simply exploring your options, this hands-on exercise will provide the space and freedom to work
with your fellow participants and explore BPM opportunities in the enterprise. Round table
discussions will highlight differing thought processes, allow you trial different BPM solutions from
leading suppliers and plan how to get your BPM project off the ground, a fantastic platform to draw on
the collective knowledge of our diverse audience and work together to determine the criteria essential
to your BPM solution.
In roundtables, you will work with your fellow delegates from different industries to outline key
criteria for your BPM solution. Armed with this outline, groups will swap tables to share their
insights, discuss challenges and gain immediate insights in a practical environment.
