My recent blog post ‘BPM – Deciding on the First Process to Implement’ has provoked much comment and response within the BPM community via a number of social media channels – it’s great to see this community coming together to exchange ideas and opinions.

Many of those who have commented to date make some very valid points including those who suggest that starting small often means starting with an irrelevant process that few will notice if it fails.

I don’t want to dwell on the matter but the point I was trying to make was to start simple and work up to more comprehensive processes.  I totally agree that whatever process you do decide to begin with, you must have an eye on the overall strategic Business Process Management vision.

Let me sign off on this matter and leave you with one final thought…. if you were to bake a cake for the first time would you start off with a simple sponge or fruit cake, or jump straight in by attempting to bake 5 tier wedding cake!
