There are many skills needed to excel at BPM, and an understanding of how tools can assist in support of process improvement is useful, but you may also want to understand BPMN to be able to apply the knowledge. This can also match up with project management skills so you may want to consider PMP studies.
In practice I'd say this is part of a potential valuable business skill set, but don't expect to see job listings for 'business process innovators'.

Good post. N the past 5 years or so, I have come across businesses that have a role titled "Business Process Architect" (or something like that) - people who's job it is to study existing business processes, make improvement recommendations.
