Process Community
Empowering national BPM communities
www.processcommunity.eu
   Process Community
Business Process Management has evolved into a major discipline linking business and organisational aspects with enabling BPMS technology. The latest developments and best practices are often made available through international publications, seminars and websites. Also, more and more national BPM communities are formed to support knowledge sharing. The main benefits of national communities is that information can be shared face-to-face in the local language and local best practices can taking into account the local culture. However, national communities, especially those recently set up, go through a steep learning curve to develop the community itself. Furthermore, often one community may not be aware of the local best practices in other communities or, have easy access to the international BPM community.

To allow easy access to local knowledge a number of board members from existing national BPM communities have recently formed the “Process Community”. The Process Community is an international and non-profit organisation. It aims to provide support to the boards of national non-profit BPM communities. Support can be provided for the development and management of the community itself. I.e. how to organize the BPM community? Furthermore, local best practices can be shared by e.g. suggesting speakers, providing case studies or facilitating international reference visits. The Process Community can also facilitate the alliance between a national BPM community and international organizations.

The founding members of the Process Community represent Belgium (BPM-Forum Belgium), France (club des pilotes de processus, C2P) Ireland (Process Innovation Forum), the Netherlands (BPM-Forum Netherlands) and Portugal (IPBPM).
