In the past many organisations have expressed a desire to achieve the well publicised benefits from a co-ordinated approach to process management and improvement. Despite this, advocates of BPM often meet resistance and spend considerable time and energy having to first prove the business-case for BPM. In the meantime they continue to undertake isolated process improvement projects in an attempt to build credibility and gain support for a broader BPM focus.
This research is motivated by the aim to assist organisations progress BPM towards an accepted approach to organisational management. By investigating how BPM has evolved in a range of organisations we hope to identify and explain patterns of BPM progression.
