New Year's Resolutions find their roots around 150 B.C. when Janus, a mythical king of early Rome, was said to have two faces -- one looking back and one looking forward.
It's in this spirit that at the tipping point between two years, we review the prior in hopes of improving the next.
At IDS Scheer, we think some of the most common resolutions like lose weight, reduce stress, and save money should also be common resolutions for any IT department and that BPM can help you meet those resolutions.
Here's four BPM resolutions worth keeping. We hope you make some of them your own.
1. Learn Something New and Share: A recent eBizQ article asked readers for the biggest trends in BPM next year and many of you said collaboration will be big. But collaboration isn't just the latest hype in software and the internet, it's how we work together to share ideas, projects, tips, code, process models, and support.
This year resolve to learn something new, share your knowledge and connect with others. Once you become part of a community, members will help each other, have more fun, and finish their projects faster.
2. Have Fun: Joining a community of like-minded professionals is one way to have more fun, but you also need to be spirited about what you do. If you need some immediate humor relief after long hours and a dreary cubicle, check out what a few BPM lovers made for your amusement:
If you clicked on some of the links, you're already halfway there, you did something fun! Now find something fun every day, a video, a funny blog post, a crazy process diagram, and you're on your way to LOVING BPM, instead of dragging your feet to work -- all without skipping a beat in your daily workflow.

A lot of people are talking about Enterprise 2.0 as being the business application of Web 2.0 technology. However, there's still some debate on exactly what this technology entails, how it applies to today's business models, and which components bring true value. Some use the term Enterprise 2.0 exclusively to describe the use of social networking technologies in the enterprise, while others use it to describe a web economy platform, or the technological framework behind such a platform. Still others say that Enterprise 2.0 is all of these things. Learn More
