Pétanque is taking part in the ITWeb BPM Summit 2009 at Montecasino in Johannesburg, taking place 25-27 August 2009. Our Managing Director Dr. Michélle Booysen and Ms. Marietjie Lancaster (Group Executive: Strategy, SA Post Office) will explore the potential role of unstructured processes and content in BPM, on the first conference day.

Andrew Spanyi, an expert in business process management (BPM), change management and performance measurement, will give keynotes at the inaugural BPM Summit. Spanyi, founder and MD of consulting and training services firm Spanyi International, will discuss how to leverage BPM to deliver real business value.

Also giving a keynote address at the event is Kurt Oellermann, business agility leader at PricewaterhouseCoopers.

ITWeb's events manager Ros Creamer says this will be a key event for BPM professionals in SA, with the two-day conference featuring 24 speakers and 13 case studies. ”On the third day there will be a choice of two interactive workshops. Aattendance at one of these workshops will consolidate and deepen the knowledge gained at the conference.”

With greater emphasis on practical information and 'hands on' exercises, attendees will have the opportunity to ask more questions, share experiences with fellow workshop attendees and take away key information to use in their own organisation, adds Creamer.

According to ITWeb, the BPM summit will help professionals create a strategy to enable a single partnership of people, processes and technology to drive the successful implementation of BPM in their businesses.
