Thanks Paolina, I've seen the APQC framework and it's great as far as a taxonomy of 'process' goes. I'm looking for a little more than that. I need to fill in...
Andrew, I think it depends what you want to do with your BPM work. On the one hand you have a strategic view of an organisation and then you can go right down...
