Last week we hosted a webinar entitled, “Get Leaner Faster with Business Process Management,” which featured Kevin Haugh, Vice President of Product Marketing for Metastorm, and Brian Chaney, Director of IT Strategy and Architecture for Copper River IT. During the webinar Chaney discussed best practices to kick start a Lean initiative using a Business Process Management (BPM) tool, and commented that BPM is a great way to focus on Lean and provides a quick turnaround time.
In order to achieve the most success with a Lean BPM initiative, Chaney recommended that teams be small and agile.
