If you believe, as many do, that the BPM industry is counter-cyclical, Rashid Khan`s Column this month is a must read. He argues that BPM is not a quick fix solution for cost cutting and cites three significant reasons why corporations are less likely to commit to the investment of time and money necessary for deployment of BPM in the current economic crisis. We hope he`s wrong. See what you think.
