Tap the conversation that moves through the board and executive conference rooms of businesses anywhere in the world and you will hear one word repeated over and over – process.
Thinking has changed and new concepts have taken root. These concepts are centered on the recognition that every business is a series of interrelated processes and management of these processes is essential to the ongoing success of business.
BPMG is the singular source for the most comprehensive thought leadership on BPM. “We (BPMG) understood the impact BPM would have on business even in the early 1990’s,” said Steve Towers, BPMG Chairman of the Board. “Since then we have built an organization that embodies the most comprehensive set of BPM industry experts in the world. The addition of Terry Schurter is one more affirmation of our drive to expand our position as the essential BPM resource.”
Terry Schurter is a noted analyst and writer on BPM, whose content on BPM-Today has consistently ranked as the top material of interest for the site. Unlike most analysts, Mr. Schurter has an extensive background in enterprise software development, engineering, strategic planning and market development.
“BPM, in one form or another, will be a part of every successful business. There is no doubt that BPMG is the quintessential thought leader in this critical area. I cannot imagine keeping better company and am very excited about devoting my energies and vision to the BPMG team.”
Now in its 12th year of operation, BPMG provides a broad array of educational and facilitating services to both the corporate and solution provider community including their BPM training program available in 104 countries around the world. The addition of Mr. Schurter will help BPMG address the rapidly growing demand for the insightful and analytical content corporations need to successfully move forward with their BPM initiatives.
“Bringing Terry into BPMG expands their expertise in thought leadership and analytical capability. Terry’s opinions are followed closely by a very large audience. His joining BPMG reaffirms BPMG’s position as the premier BPM organization in the world,” commented Stewart Ashton, BPM Ventures Chairman of the Board.
This news also struck a resonant chord in the BPMS vendor community. Long challenged with market education and contradictory market reports, the addition of Terry Schurter to the BPMG team is seen as a powerful coup for BPMG.
“The team here was very excited to see (Terry’s) level of BPM understanding,” said Fuego Director of Marketing Wayne Snell after meeting Terry recently. “We see this as a very strong move and we expect to see substantial benefit to the industry from his contributions to BPMG.”
Terry will be involved in a number of activities with BPMG. His primary focus will be to advance the community through an aggressive expansion of BPM content covering all aspects of BPM. This expansion will be geared to both broaden and deepen BPMG content and resources in all areas.
