Why always think technology when speaking about BPM ?

Since BPM is most desired proven descipline/methodology towards effective planning and optimizations these days...

1. Some people invented...experimented..made best practises available

2. Some people demostrated the benefits..

3. A lot more are only following the trends..

4. Some are still in the process of learninig it...

5. And some still do not know what BPM is..!!!!

Doubting why technology is discussed along with BPM is like asking always studing in class room and never goto work..or only talk about say SWOT analysis and do not implement it..Hmm

My friend Thomas here is seeing the vested interest of software providers..but what is he suggesting..that businesses should keep listening there theories in confrence rooms ever and never do business..keep learning what is farming and never use tools to actually farm things up???

Dick Lee is right, these two are diffrent things but can not be seen as diffrent ..

My friend Steve..Are u suggesting that those case studies would have been possible without application of principles??? Is it that just by buying book "What si BPM" or knowing "what it is" as said sensible will bring results???

My friend MAX is right ..just one line "BPM flowcharting is an agility killer. " can u put more light on this thought???
