Would like to see some consolidation of knowledge?

If you answered "yes" above guess you might be interested in BPM Common Body of Knowledge, or for short CBOK.

What is the CBOK?

The COBK is a comprehensive overview of the issues, best practices and lessons learned collected by the ABPMP.

What does the CBOK contain?

BPM is a constantly evolving discipline. This initial release of the ABPMP BPM CBOK provides a basic understanding of BPM practice along with references to the BPM community and other valuable sources of information.

Why is the CBOK important?

As with any other emerging discipline, BPM finds different groups using language in different ways resulting in conflicting definitions for terms which can confuse discussions on the topic. This Guide to the BPM CBOK encourages the use of a common, agreed upon vocabulary for the BPM discipline.

CBOK is the door to the BPM Family

You should look at the CBOK as the passport to the BPM Family. With the CBOK you will be part of the large community of BPM professionals who use this guide, in conjunction with a variety of other sources of information, to expand and share their knowledge on the practice of BPM.

How can you access the CBOK?

The CBOK is only available to ABPMP members.

Exciting news about our ABPMP Georgia

The ABPMP Georgia Team has been working hard to ensure that everyone in Georgia can enhance and share their BPM knowledge.

Here's a summary of what we have been doing:

1. The Team as grown – you now have 2 new team member: VP of memberships and VP of Programs. Check all our profiles - http://abpmp.ga.googlepages.com/chapterofficers

2. From Atlanta to Georgia – we went from the Atlanta Chapter to the Georgia Chapter. We believe this will help us attract even more talent and make our chapter stronger. As a consequence we plan to use video and the internet to bring all BPMers in the state a lot closer. If you live in Augusta-Richmond County, Columbus, Athens, Macon or you just want to avoid $4 gas, we are working for you!

3. ABPMP Site Link – we now have an official link to our site from the ABPMP main site - http://www.abpmp.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=156

5. The LinkedIn Group – we have created a LinkedIn group to ensure that paying members of the association can network vigorously to expand the BPM gospel. This will allow us to network in a tool we all know a love!

These are all great and exciting news. Nonetheless, better collaboration tools will not make us successful. We need people like you to work with us by sending suggestion how we can better achieve our objectives.

Feel free to contact the entire team using the e-mail Georgia@abpmp.org or myself at communications.abpmp.ga@gmail.com.
