Posted: 29 Jan 2010 01:50 PM PST

We are frequently asked to share what we've learned, so in an occasional series, I'd like to do exactly that... share our experiences and insights so that others can benefit - by emulating our successes and by avoiding our mistakes. We are not the only or leading experts on this topic, but according to people who ask, we do have something of value to share... so in the spirit of community, I'll publish an ongoing series to share what we know (or think we know).

Any true BPM project starts off with clear, measurable business goals, a clear plan of how these will be measured and rapidly delivered, and then evaluated in a program of continuous improvement. I would like to share with you one BPM partner sales story that I found from 2009 where the customer and partner took a value-oriented approach to a BPM project proposal, and the results were significant.
