We had episodes about BPM education on the show before, but this time we speak with someone who is from a different generation than your regular hosts.And our guest Daniel Matka is building a “Process Academy” to bring process management knowledge to the next generation. And while doing this, he’s building modern ways of structuring […]
There has been a lot of consolidation in the process/architecture space in the last few years, mostly driven by PE firms. But why is that so, and why does it seem that there is no alternative to this business model? Back in the day there were foundations behind the companies, or they were privately held, […]
To implement AI (and processes) correctly, you need good data. But what does that mean? Well, firstly it means that you can define your data product and to achieve that you need good data governance. But are we now in a super-nerdy topic? No, this is what we all do in some form or another […]
In this episode, we welcome Finnish enterprise architect and author Eetu Niemi to explore what it means to make enterprise architecture (EA) “lightweight”—practical”, collaborative, and relevant in the real world. From frameworks to fiction writing, from ivory towers to coffee-fueled collaboration, this conversation dives into how to make EA actually work for organizations. With over […]
Welcome to a very special episode of What’s Your Baseline? — where we demystify enterprise architecture and business process management. In this milestone 100th episode, we are joined by fellow BPM podcasters from Prozess Philosophen and BPM360 to celebrate, reflect, and talk about the wild ride of creating content in this niche space. Russell Gomersall […]
There is a thing that I have not seen managed well in today’s organizations: business rules. Typically, they are an “afterthought” in implementations (because you have to feed the business rules engine and control the process flow). But how many organizations rationalize the underlying business rules on a larger scale? When was the last time […]
Process Mining—a technology and technique that Gartner just called “early mainstream” in one of their last reports. But many people still don’t know exactly how to approach this thing. They listen to the vendors talking about technical integrations and all the fancy features, which—to be honest—can be pretty overwhelming for someone who is just looking […]
We are hundreds of years into thinking about how we do work (insert your philosopher of choice here: Smith, Marx, Plato, etc.), but I get the impression that the most common style is “muddling through.” But why is that? Why has the concept of an Integrated Management System (IMS) not taken hold in many organizations? […]
Having lived in two cultures, it is so interesting to see how people cope with big problems. Climate change and sustainability are some of the biggest issues that we have to deal with in our lifetimes, and I see reactions from denial to aimless “do-gooder” activity. But how do you improve this situation and solve […]
We are back with our first episode of the brand-new season 9 of the podcast—and we are starting right into the topic of these days: AI … well, the AI hype that is out there. And we are discussing what you can do to avoid falling into the trap of falling for that hype. Our […]
AI is *the* hot thing these days and you cannot pass any tool that does not have these two characters attached to it. That is also true for the BPM space, and this week we have the pleasure to speak with a person who is working in this space for over 20 years and his […]
Last week’s episode of the podcast was a very good conversation about learning and enablement with Ron Cohen, Peter Dern, and Adam Egger, and we could have talked for hours about this topic. However, the conversation took quite a turn after I asked how the future of learning will look like. But we also were […]
