3. 3 What Is Business Process Management (BPM)? “Business Process Management (BPM) is a management discipline that treats business processes as assets to be valued, designed and exploited in their own right. It aims to improve agility and operational performance…. BPM requires technologies with which managers can control and modify their processes. Specifically it requires technologies that make process explicit; that is, clearly expressed and readily changed.” (Gartner, 2006) “Tools” BPM-Enabling Technologies “Management Discipline” Business Process Management
