Creating an open source body of knowledge on process management
Thursday, December 9, 2010 by Neil Ward-Dutton
Have you heard of the Process Knowledge Initiative? If not, and you’re actively involved in BPM work, perhaps it’s time to find out!
The goal of the Process Knowledge Initiative is to “create an open source body of knowledge on process management” (currently referred to as the PKBoK). The initiative was started in September following initial research and discussions between representatives from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), BPTrends and others, and has now been formally incorporated as a non-profit company co-stewarded by the OMG, International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), BPTrends, QUT and Kemsley Design – and managed by Elemental Links.
Not surprisingly of course, this initiative doesn’t exist in a vacuum: there are other groups working on co-ordinating understanding of process management. However, I believe the Process Knowledge Initiative is distinguished by the fact that it’s working to bring together different sectors and interest groups, and by its intent to work openly and collaboratively with anyone who wants to contribute.
Although the process that will underpin the creation and management of this body of knowledge is designed to be open, it’s also a stewarded process. I’m proud to say that I’ve been accepted as part of the Technology Advisory Board.
I’m really excited to be be part of this initiative and working alongside some very smart, experienced and well-regarded people. As the initiative unfolds, I’ll be sure to post updates as relevant.
At the time of writing there are still some open Technology Advisory Board positions. If you think you might like to get involved, you can get in touch with the organisers here.
