The global economy is still in a severe situation.
Not governments but only each of us can get the economy righted.
Each of us must improve our business process, thus improve our earnings for ourselves.
Now is the time to discuss BPM, I think.

世界景気は未だ減退局面にある。
政府ではなく「一人一人」こそが景気を回復させる主体だ。
我々一人一人がビジネスプロセスを改善し、そして「自身の収益」を改善しなければならない。
今こそBPM議論が必要だと思う。
