Why I'm Bored of Theory and What the Future Holds for this Blog

I'm so bored of theory I can't even begin to explain. After yet another dull, lifeless BP Trends snoozefest newsletter this month I decided it's time for action.

I read a lot of BPM blogs, and more often than not I'm reading about what we should be doing and what BPM can achieve. It's starting to get tedious reading the same old stuff about how we're a misunderstood, under-achieving discipline that can solve all of the business problems of the world. There are enough blogs out there wallowing in theory without this blog adding to it.

In short I've decided to change the focus of this blog. I'll be leaving the theory up to others from now on. What this blog will now focus on are pratical tips and tools to perform process improvement. Real-life applications of techniques to actually do work, not just talk about it.

My intention over the next 12 months or so is to blog regularly on this topic, thereby creating enough content to be able to put it all together into a book. I would love to hear from others out there regarding their own tips and experiences. If I like your tip it will likely also end up in the book (with your consent, of course).

I'm also planning on doing more tutorial style videos as well as some podcast interviews with process people who are able to pass on some tips.

So expect some pratical advice coming your way soon, but in the meantime get your practical hats on and share your tips!

Cheers,

TPN

I'm looking forward to seeing what you have to say on the practical side of process improvement. I agree with you about the theory, though perhaps not for quite the same reasons. I come from a finance background, not IT and so my learning has been rooted in being a "user". I'll be very happy to help you with your book!

How's the book coming?
