                                        Business process innovation is on the 
                                        minds of executives these days, and for 
                                        good reason. In the 1990s, companies also 
                                        had a focus on business processes. They 
                                        used enterprise-wide networks to tear 
                                        down walls between functional departments 
                                        and reengineered their companies to remain 
                                        competitive.
                                       
                                        Today, the universal connectivity of the 
                                        Internet makes it possible to tear down 
                                        walls between companies to reinvent entire 
                                        value chains. The result? We are now witnessing 
                                        a grand globalization of white collar 
                                        work, outsourcing, offshoring and other 
                                        new forms of extreme competition. Industry 
                                        and national boundaries have become a 
                                        blur. All is changed, and no industry 
                                        is exempt. Pioneering companies have already 
                                        disrupted incumbents and come from nowhere 
                                        to dominate their industries. Their secret 
                                        sauce? Business process management (BPM).
                                       
                                        This book brings together some of the
