The 16th Annual BP Group survey has just completed. Preliminary results were presented in conjunction with IQPC at the BPE in Financial Services conference in London last week. Full results will be shared with all 1240 participants later this month prior to a webinar hosted by City Process Management (this years platinum sponsors).

If you would like a copy of the preliminary results let me know.

Just a quickie (and one off) to let you know of a permanent change to my previous email address. The new one is steve.towers@bpgroup.org and it's effective immediately!

We'll have a BP Group newsletter featuring the 2008 Annual Survey, conference reviews and presentations, whitepaper (Accelerated Cost Reduction) and several offers THIS WEEK.

Also I would suggest a visit to the new BP Group site - the Open training programme for the next six months is taking shape there ;-)
