Business Interaction Management

Business Interaction Management homepage on Diigo

This is a Diigo group on Business Interaction Management (BIM), a domain that we are currently exploring since this might become a major new paradigm for the coming generation of enterprises.

The technical definition of BIM is "The field of expertise that encompasses the planning, the design and the control of how a company's business processes interact with the (business) processes of other internal and external parties". A more elaborate description of this can be found in The case for Business Interaction Management (BIM) white paper.

This is an open forum for the exchange of information on the various aspects that relate to this concept. However, we want this to be a focused discussion platform. Therefore, the focus should be on the "process" aspect of things. In this group, we are not interested in the specifics of interfaces, being the way these processes are exposed to the various parties. Neither are we interested in the process management itself, since, as can be read in above mentioned white paper, this is part of the BPM expertise.

Comments:

  • "Like most things in life, collaboration is a simple thing. However, we humans have tendency not to think too much about simple things and then, they seem to become complex, since they rarely work out as planned. This paper is an exercise in simple thinking about simple things so that we might understand what makes them really work." - Marc Buyens

The Holy Grail of Knowledge Management: capturing meaning | The Xpragmatic View

Seth's Blog: Economies of small

Comments:

  • Economies of scale are well understood. Bigger factories are more efficient, bigger distribution networks are more efficient, bigger ad campaigns can be more efficient. It's often hard to defeat a major competitor, particularly if the market is looking for security and the status quo.
    But what about the economies of small? Is being bigger an intrinsic benefit in and of itself? - Marc Buyens

Diigo is in essentie een bookmarking website, maar het is meer dan dat. Diigo omvat in feite twee diensten -- enerzijds is het een research en collaboratieve research tool en daarnaast is het ook een knowledge-sharing community en een social content site.

De links van de artikels op deze pagina brengen je naar de publiek toegankelijke inhoud op Diigo. Indien je aan de discussie wenst deel te nemen, zelf commentaar of informatie wenst toe te voegen moet je lid worden van Diigo.
