Oslobođenje: The Information-Communication technologies have irreplaceable role in economic success based on knowledge and they are the strongest, the cheapest and the fastest for increasing the competitiveness, has been said by chairman of the Council of Ministers of BiH, Nikola Špirić by opening the first regional conference on business process management and knowledge management BPM & KM Conference 2009 yesterday in Sarajevo.
Slogan of this conference is "Competitiveness through innovations and business process management". Leading domestic and foreign experts from economy, public sector and university will present the newest knowledge and experiences from this area.
"I hope we have initiated the process, which will last and that the knowledge and new technology management will contribute to more qualitative usage of computers we have. I believe that basic knowledge does not make a difference between business and public administration, and knowledge from the area of information-communication technologies is exactly a basic knowledge", has been said by chairman of the Organization board of conference, Slavko Vidović.
According to the dean of the Economy Faculty in Sarajevo, Veljko Trivun, processes on which it will be talked at conference, represent a light future.
Using of new technologies in the business processes and knowledge management should assist BiH to pass the transition path as soon as possible and increase competitiveness of our, currently weak economy, has been added by chairman of the External Market Chamber of BiH, Milan Lovrić.
During the lecture "Competitiveness through innovations and business process management", professor from the Economy Faculty in Sarajevo, Zlatko Lagumdžija has said that we live in time of quick changes, in which only the companies, which succeed in networking knowledge, innovations, business processes and information-communication technologies, can survive.
"These parameters should not only be coordinated, the changes should be led as well. When these four parameters get networked, they create competitiveness", Lagumdžija has said.
"We live in time with the Stone age emotions, the Middle age beliefs, and divine technology", Lagumdžija has said during the lecture. He has said that the competitiveness is to know what the others know, or to find out before the others. Knowledge management is exactly that, to know before the others know.
During the two day conference there will be presented 55 works, and main topics are business process management in economy and public administration, digitalization of processes as a basis of e-business, models of business processes of leading industries, tools and measurability of business processes, while the area of knowledge management will encompass the leadership as well.
