SAP Gravity is an excellent example of Google Wave being used for BPM

Unfortunately they have not yet released it publicly and it is uncertain whether it will be a separate paid/free product or part of SAP’s suite

[...] Can Google Wave Become a Disruptive, Good Enough BPMS? (Action Blog)I have been wondering about whether there something akin to good enough BPM when it comes to people oriented process (which are most processes in organizations). It seems to me that for these types of processes a full-fledged BPMS implementation is overkill. Not just the upfront purchase cost, but all the upfront process discovery, modeling and implementation resources needed for a BPM implementation. When all is said and done even a simple BPM implementation can cost $200K-$500K in total cost of implementation. [...]

While I agree with you in premise I don’t think GoogleWave will be replacing any BPM systems in the near future. Not because it’s not good enough — it’s because that’s not what GWAVE is designed to do.

With that said — I can absolutely see Google Wave being a starting point for workflow steps. I can also see Google Wave as an option to manage the “in-flight” content, steps and also to be the designated end point.

Google Wave has a lot of potential as a tool to enhance every horizontal business application (BPM, CRM, ERP, SCM, PLM, etc.). If the API is as open as it seems I expect a lot of developers will star to take advantage of the inherent capabilities and perhaps Google will form a partner ecosystem with a broad collection of solutions. I blogged about this opportunity & risk for Google here – Gone Google – Will it Work? – http://bit.ly/gVcHS

The potential is there.

btw – I like your HPM way of thinking. There is a definite distinction between Human and System based workflow. I’d like to chat with your more about this as this is what I’ve worked on for 15+ years.
