The project will develop a reference curriculum for executive education on Business Process Management (BPM) for Europe. Such a curriculum is strongly needed, because there is a huge demand for competences in BPM, which is about the value creating application of information and communication technology (ICT) in business and society to support excellence and innovation. A number of European initiatives, such as the Digital Agenda 2020 and the eSkills initiatives, show the need for this project, and the project directly addresses a number of ERASMUS+ priorities, for example, enhancing digital integration in learning, teaching, training, and youth work at various levels, supporting the implementation of reforms in line with the 2011 EU Modernisation Agenda's priority areas, and supporting the implementation of the 2013 Communication on Opening Up Education, just to name a few. BPM_Online is the first project to design a reference curriculum for executive education in the field of BPM that makes use of blended learning opportunities and involves leading research BPM institutes across Europe. It is useful for a wide range of stakeholders, especially because the curriculum will be made publically available. Apart from traditional elements of BPM also recent research findings will be integrated into the lectures, such as leveraging BPM in order to drive digital innovation to foster global competitiveness of the European economy and society. The project BPM_Online intends to enable executive education jointly carried out by BPM research centres across Europe, and it is designed in a flexible way so as to be able to integrate new topics and partners in the future. The project brings together leading BPM research institutions and leverages their potential to boost executive education in an area that is highly important for the European economy and society. Partners include the University of Liechtenstein (Professor Jan vom Brocke), the Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien (Professor Jan Mendling), the VU University Amsterdam (Professor Hajo Reijers), the Copenhagen Business School (Professor Mathias Trier), and the University of Münster (Professor Jörg Becker). The project will produce seven intellectual outputs that will be ready to use for educational institutions throughout Europe, including a BPM Curriculum Framework, five BPM Curriculum CAS modules, and a final report. These outputs go far beyond the existing educational offerings because they integrate world-leading up-to-date research results and they are tailor made for the needs of EU professionals using innovative virtual and blended learning scenarios. The consortium members contribute profound BPM expertise they have gathered through decades of research. The project will consolidate this knowledge by workshops and creativity techniques. The involvement of over 100 target users through interviews and co-creation techniques will facilitate shaping the BPM curriculum towards the specific needs of BPM professionals. All participants have profound experience in managing and conducting large-scale research projects on the European level, and professional project management will further contribute to project success.
