Why is this article in the Business model category ?

Because it is related. If the category is intended only for 'models' and not 'modeling', then state that in the category description and we can create a separate category for 'business modeling' and move this article, and others like it - e.g. business process design. If there is a more appropriate modeling category, please suggest it, or update it.

There is a difference between a Business Model and the concept of Business Modeling. The term Business Process Modeling (BPM) as currently used, centers around a set of simple techniques derived from traditional Process Modeling. Basic flowcharting symbols and tools such as PowerPoint, Visio and IBM Websphere Modeler are used to create Work Flow Diagrams and Process Models for analysis and reference. Organizations hope to use BPM to reveal areas of inefficiency within their current business processes and to document business knowledge that will be lost when the Baby Boomers begin to retire within the next 5 years. I agree that the current text on the BPM page needs to be reworked. Thadmanning 04:17, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BPM

BPM seems to have 3 very similar meanings. Mathiastck 19:40, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
