Nearly 3 years have passed since my last post about BPM books plus I had a chance to notice few more interesting ones while writing a book about BPM myself đ So, I wanted to share with you updated and extended list of books which I would recommend to anyone interested in business process management.

Back to school 2023 â free online courses for BPM professionals (and not only)
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]
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 â 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.
Whatâs your source of BPM inspiration?
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 âmy bubbleâ), 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.
Podcasts for process management professionals (2023)
List below contains podcasts which cover the topic of process management, which have over 10 episodes overall, with at least one episode from 2023.
