Down Under: Highly Effective Process Winners

Down Under: Highly Effective Process Winners
John Jeston and Johan Nelis continue to wonder why a large percentage of managers and organizations never document processes, use process metrics, or manage processes. Having addressed this question in previous Columns, they turn this month to principles espoused by Stephen Covey in his book, The 8th Habit, from Effectiveness to Greatness. Applying those principles to BPM, they urge all process professionals to go beyond the comfortable circles of process converts and show the benefits of working on business processes to the more sceptical individuals.
