Tutorial 1: Making Social BPM Mean Business
There has been a significant consumer uptake in social tools for both collaboration and for interactions with companies, but many organizations still struggle to identify where social capabilities can best fit within their operational business processes. Business process management, which often has collaboration at its very core, is one of the areas that can benefit greatly from social capabilities, and for which there is now sufficient product offerings to judge the actual impact of social BPM.
The combination of social tools and BPM can dramatically improve the way businesses handle work. During design time, social capabilities allow organizations to collaborate on process design, incorporating the views and requirements of a broad array of internal and external stakeholders instead of a narrow process design group to create a better BPM solution. During process execution, social capabilities allow for collaboration both within and outside an organization to make processes more efficient and more customer-centric, while empowering knowledge workers to use their professional judgement to guide processes rather than just follow predefined paths. This tutorial will provide a broad introduction to social BPM, including:
- A brief history of social BPM
- Social capabilities during process design and process execution
- The social crossover between BPM and ACM
- Getting started with social BPM
- Barriers to adoption, and how to overcome them
- Expected benefits from social BPM
- Why social tools will change the way you run your business
Using a blend of theory, research, social BPM product examples and customer case studies, this tutorial will solidify your understanding of social BPM and how it can make your business process initiatives more successful.

Tutorial 4: Efficient BPMN: From Anti-Patterns to Best Practices
BPMN is already acknowledged as a de facto standard for business process modeling. However, it still takes a long journey to raise the maturity of business process modeling practice. Business modelers make a lot of mistakes and their BPMN models are often too complex and difficult to understand, analyze and maintain. In this session, we will review and analyze common BPMN anti-patterns that were collected during 5 years of business process modeling consultancy in banking, insurance, telecommunication, software, education, and government domains. For each presented anti-pattern, we will identify the best practice that has been violated and demonstrate how to refactor process diagram. The session will provide essential advice for business analysts on how to easily adopt BPMN and make their business process diagrams structured, readable, and maintainable.
