10 Things I hate about BPM

Love-hate-baby I bet you never thought you'd hear me say it, but here we go. I hate:

  • The fact that it's reduced to yet another boring ackronym - it's so much more interesting than that
  • The fact that people are still arguing about what BPM / Process improvement and all the other phrases including process actually mean (it doesn't matter!!!)
  • Boring, elongated articles on process that try to turn it into a science - please people, go back to university and leave us alone!
  • People arguing over their tools "my tool is better than your tool!" - stop it - you're all tools!
  • People jumping on and off process bandwagons "Ooooh Six Sigma was so 2007" - it's not fashion so get over it
  • Lumbering software giants that charge a squillion dollars for poor installations that give process a bad name
  • People who write process blogs, but who can't write (does that include me - ha!)
  • Senior Managers who can't see the value of process (go die you dinosaurs!)
  • People who think because you've drawn a process map you've solved world peace
  • Those who cannot see "THE GOAL"
  • Harsh, aren't I?
