Abstract

The International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM) is a conference series with some remarkable successes over the last 20 years. In this paper, we discuss how neighboring fields have made progress. A key observation is the co-evolution of the problem and solution spaces: methodological innovations yield substantive advancements and, in turn, substantive findings help to improve methods. We discuss implications of this observation for business process science.
