And yes, it only took 10 minutes to find one I missed during my scan. Have you used / reviewed the Tool-kits? It is a bit hard to tell from the website exactly what Process methods are; however the over-all principals and approach are quite strong.

]]> Comment on Upcoming Australian Process Training by Craig Westbury http://processexecutive.com/blog/2010/01/upcoming-australian-process-training/comment-page-1/#comment-48 Craig Westbury Tue, 19 Jan 2010 04:45:55 +0000 http://processexecutive.com/blog/?p=135#comment-48 Thanks for the comment Craig, good to be back :) I have not attended any of the BPTrends training, however I have evaluated and recommended it for my organisation (before I then left and did not get a chance to do it myself). I have attended Roger Burlton's training that is based on similar methodologies, which was "life changing" excellent. I am a fan of Paul Harmon's book "Business Process Change" and the BPTrends methodology, I have recently reviewed the training with Roger Tregear and I expect it would be very good. I hope to get an opportunity to spend some time with Alec at Process Days, I will be attending and will be more into it than last year, and drinks are always good when we're in town :) Thanks for the comment Craig, good to be back :)

I was thinking about doing some of the Leonardo training - even though the outside-in people will probably want to kill me! have you done any of their courses yourself? Alec Sharp was a real highlight of processdays last year I will need to try to catch up with him myself. It would be nice to catch up for a beer if you are at processdays this year. I won't be going this year... Hey Craig – welcome back to the blog fold!

Thanks for the feedback. Ahh feedstitch, I did not find that one when I was looking for a solution to this little problem! I have just setup the BPMBlogs Full feed to go to Google Reader and then using an RSS reader on the iPhone to read it. Works great! No more boring train trips. The BPM-Collaboration site is looking really good (well done). I'll be getting there regularly, and even saving some content to put up. Let's challenge ourselves to get the Australian BPM community fired by November! Cheers Craig Hey Jamie.
