Quo vadis, S-BPM? The first world-café on S-BPM developments

Abstract

World cafés allow for collective reflection and brain writing. S-BPM is still in its beginnings with respect to implementing the concept in organization designs and focusing on communication rather than on functions and the corresponding type of flow control. A World Café has been set up for reflecting current achievements and further developing S-BPM. 4 thematic areas have been selected from the topics addressed by the participants throughout the workshop, and discussed in 4 round table sessions. Some café discussions have led to further scoping S-BPM and agreed conclusions while others have triggered intense debates on dedicated S-BPM aspects, e.g., how to educate S-BPM users for empowerment. This report summarizes the process and findings of the first World Café on S-BPM development. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
