In this part, we establish a way of working with business processes—the critical discipline of translating strategic planning into effective process execution. We explore both the current and future business process trends that we advise you to be fully aware of in order to be best prepared for many of the coming business process changes on the global scale. We also provide a perspective regarding what is hype and what is real to allow you to make critical decisions about what to possibly adopt, transform, and innovate within your organization.

The way of working around business processes is structured to provide you with a practical guide for how to organize, classify, align, arrange, and quantify business process management (BPM) concepts and to select and use process objects and/or process templates/artifacts in the systemized and categorized way that they need to be applied and used within your process initiatives.
