OMG Announces Keynote and Case Study Added to
Fourth Annual BPM Think Tank 2008
Business Process Management (BPM) event to be held October 6-7,
2008
Needham, MA, USA - July 23, 2008 - The Object Management Group™ (OMG™),
in partnership with BPTrends, today announced that Jim Sinur, Chief
Strategy Officer, Global 360 will give the keynote presentation "The
Economics of Business Process," and Pat Steinmann, Manager, Request
Services Department, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, will present the case study
"People, Process and Technology: The Evolutionary Nature of
People-centric Processes" at the BPM Think Tank 2008 event. BPM Think
Tank 2008 will be held October 6-7, 2008 at the Crowne Plaza Chicago
O'Hare in Chicago, IL, USA. For more information, visit http://www.omg.org/tt-update.
BPM Think Tank 2008 attendees will participate in at least three
unique, highly interactive BPM Roundtables over the course of two days.
These roundtables are small, interactive group sessions moderated by
subject matter experts who will introduce the topic and move on to the
group discussion that uniquely characterizes BPM Think Tank. Presentations
before and after the roundtable sessions will focus on business case
studies presented by end users with real-world experience.
- Keynote Presentation: Jim Sinur, Chief Strategy Officer,
Global 360 "The Economics of Business Process"
There is a co-dependency between economics and business processes that
is quite unique. The reality of today's economic conditions drives the
need of the kind of productivity and time to market that BPM brings to
the table. Not only is the economic opportunity great, but BPM affords
the kind of agility to keep current with the changes that are facing
businesses today. This session will explore how the benefit pools link
with business needs as organizations mature in their leverage of
business processes activity.
- Case Study Presentation: Pat Steinmann, Manager, Request
Services Department, Enterprise Rent-a-Car "People, Process and
Technology: The Evolutionary Nature of People-centric Processes"
In 2001, the team that managed the receipt of new work requests in
Enterprise Rent-A-Car's IT Department had to modify their processes in
response to a change in the company's AS/400 platform. Their approach
to this change, improving how they received work, drove additional
change and ultimately transformed the request and fulfillment process
within the IT organization. Pat Steinmann, Department Manager for
Enterprise's Request Services Department, will share this journey as
an illustration of the interdependencies between people, process and
technology and how just getting started on process improvement will
drive change in your organization.
