BPMN MIWG capability demo is back! Again, we will be showcasing the interoperability of BPMN diagrams. This time our capability demonstration will not be a part of the Object Management Group conference, but it will be a standalone (online) event on July 18th, 2024 at 04:00 PM CEST.
UPDATE: below you can see the YouTube recording and additional info about our demonstration.
If you noticed that content previously available on BPTrends dot com disappeared you do not need to worry any more! All of the original content is available on https://bptrends.info/
You can find there a letter from Paul Harmon with more information about how the original domain was lost and plans for the future.
Do you want to learn more about BPM skills in 2024? Part 2 of the post is ready!
Like in the past years I have a great pleasure to present you new post from the “BPM skills” series. You can read the past editions here.
There’s a famous quote from “The Wizard of Oz” movie “Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore”. I think it summarizes well situation we live in currently.
COVID-19, Great Resignation, GenAI revolution, Climate Crisis, and other Megatrends already led to significant changes in business and our lives and it does not seem that the changes are over.
What does it mean for BPM in general and for the skills required from BPM practitioners? Like in the past years I want to share with you list of useful materials that can help you sharpen your BPM skills.
However, this time I am adding also materials that are not about the process management, but also other skills, that are – in my opinion – very important currently. I will be expanding this post with more resources showing not only what do we need to do to manage processes but also – what are the new skills we need to learn (like GenAI) and more importantly how we can take a broader view on the impact of our work on customers, our organizations and society in general.

![Podcasts for process management professionals [2023 edition]](https://bpmtips.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/BPMTips_Podcasts-640x320.png "Podcasts for process management professionals [2023 edition]")
One of the goals of this blog is to share with you actionable tips that may help you in your business process management activities.
This year I plan to spend more time preparing new content for you. Expect more posts on this blog and on my new Substack (https://processmodeling.substack.com/), as well as new online courses. More details coming soon!
In case you are wondering – some of the popular series from past years will be continued, but in a slightly different form as I want to experiment a bit with new ideas.
One of the best ways to stay sharp and grow professionally is to learn from others. I personally enjoy learning both from BPM thought leaders and from fellow process professionals. Ideally those should be people with different experiences and perspectives (not only from “my bubble”), so that I can question my thinking and get some new ideas.
Podcasts can be a great source inspiration for people interested in business processes. Since there were huge changes since my last post about BPM podcasts I thought you may enjoy an update.
List below contains podcasts which cover the topic of process management, which have over 10 episodes overall, with at least one episode from 2023. You will find there a tagline of a podcast, few words from me about podcast and its host, number of episodes and my suggestion from which episode you can begin to get a taste of what to expect.
Tagline: “Learn all the tools, methods and best practices combined with people, emotions and a human-centric mindset to rethink your process and push it to the next level”
Mirko Kloppenburg shares his learnings and insights about the BPM and interviews process management pros. If human-centric processes are your topic, Mirko is your man!

Would you like to see how different modelling and automation tool vendors interchange the BPMN diagrams? Or perhaps you are interested in extensions of the BPMN standard? You can’t miss the Object Management Group Meet & Greet event on March 21st 2022.

Do you want to learn more about BPM skills? Part 2 of the post is waiting for you!
Like in the past years I have a great pleasure to present you new post from the “BPM skills” series. You can read the past editions here.
Since this is my first post in 2022 I want to wish you all the best in this year. May your plans come to fruition!
Pretty likely you have some resolutions for this year, perhaps including some process-related ones 😉 If so, let me know in comments (or drop me an e-mail at zbigniew@bpmtips.com), so that I can share with you helpful content.
This post is a part of the experiment I planned for this year. Apart from the standard posts you know well from my website (e.g. BPM skills), I want to see if you like the new formats of content.
Below, you can see an example of the first format: process mention. What’s the idea? When I read or listen to something outside the BPM universe, sometimes processes are mentioned from an interesting angle. Instead of making notes for myself, I want to share some quotes with you. Let me know if you find it useful!
