BPM Certification – Outside the US?

by David McCoy  |  October 6, 2009  |  2 Comments

Dinner with Gabrielle Field, one one of the powers-that-be working with Brett Champlin in the ABPMP certification effort.  Talking about BPM Certification, we (collectively) came up with a few idea. As ideas, they are just that… ideas:

  • Certification will be attractive to BPO players outside the US. Just one more bit of street cred they can offer to prospective buyers.
  • In general, certification may actually be more attractive outside the US, than in.  Maybe. Maybe for a long time. Maybe not.
  • Brazil may be a good vector for pushing certification to the masses.

As a reality check… BPM certification is still immature. But, maybe that will change… maybe starting outside the US.  As I said, these are just “ideas.” Ideas <> Gartner Research.

Thoughts?

    Hm, would be interested in your opinion about the OMG’s OCEB certification. This has been picked up in Europe, and a fair starting number of people have been certified (at least, in Capgemini).
