This is also something I’ve seen and experienced with customers, and, without a doubt, capturing events at the right time and the right level to improve business processes is vital within a multi-enterprise business processing strategy. In order to effectively govern one’s ecosystem, one must have visibility into business transactions inside and outside the enterprise, and, depending on the user in this ecosystem, information should be visible at the right time for the user to act upon depending on how policies are enforced. Typically there are various types of roles within the ecosystem: the member of the community, the community administrator, enterprise IT and various types of business users.

Naren,

I will use an example that occurs in the biological world. Let’s say you have a fish pond close to your house and you introduce 100’s of large fish to catch more dinner sized fish. You will actually deplete the pond of all fish rather quickly versus introducing smaller life forms to help the small fish prosper and grow the whole life chain. The same goes for identifying events and actions that can affect interlocked or shared processes.. I hope this helps

Interesting… I grasp all but “Discovery via Context”. You mention using complexity theory. Can you elaborate and/or provide a good example of this?

What is the Greatest Hurdle Facing BPM? — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 22:13:02 +0000

[...] While BPM works well with structured data and content management capabilities, BPM needs to embrace events beyond the progress of business activities in the known paths of a pre-defined process. Process will need to support more information around the context in which the process is running in at the moment. What is the effect of markets, geographies or the state of the partner chain that the process is operating within right now? This means close ties to complex event processing and intelligent decision management. This would not only include the current state of the process, but would include past trends to optimize process outcomes.
