Abstract

The utopian picture of Business Process Management (BPM) is ubiquitous. It is “a fundamental change” (CSC, 2002), “the holistic business platform for the agile company of the future” (Smith & Fingar, 2002), “the monniker for the next Killer App” (Delphi, 2002), “the greatest return on investment” (Aberdeen, 2003) and “it will change industry; just like Deming” (Gurley, 2003).
