I would add, that the problem of a lack of measurable benefit is a huge problem for IT projects in general, not just or even especially for BPM projects. In BPM projects, however, it seems especially obvious that it is a solvable problem: the structure of a process lends itself to being analyzed for cost and, for benefit. I've been really impressed at how much *more* successful the projects I worked on were that had measures in place, and were able to anticipate and then measure and confirm, the benefits. Additionally these projects often lead to a second (follow-on) improvement to the original process that has an even better ROI because we learn something from the measurable improvement the first time around, and make a very surgical improvement to the process going forward that has very good yield.
