BPM.com has a research paper from Gartner available for free on their site (registration required): Key Issues for Business Process Management, 2007. It’s from March (likely one of the last papers with Jim Sinur’s name on it) but has some timeless points on it such as “How will BPM respond to the disruption of traditional organizational boundaries, the increased complexity of business and other sources of strategic change?” Of course, you have to buy a bunch of Gartner reports to get the answers to all the questions and issues raised in this short paper, but it does pose some interesting questions.
Looking forward to covering Gartner’s BPM summit next week in Orlando. If you’re there, look me up.
