Have you noticed transformation fatigue in your organization? The feeling that you run faster and faster, and have to do more with less, while you don’t accomplish the results of the changes that you were out for? Well, one aspect of that might be that you haven’t “picked up” the folks in your organization where…
In many minds, legacy is “everything that works”. And even if that is not always true, many organizations look at their legacy systems and get a headache. How do you replace or update a set of systems that have served you so well over years or decades? That is why we are speaking with our…
Having the “Oracle of BPM” talking about BPMM Trends on the show? Yes, please. Even though our guest, Zbigniew Misiak, denies that, the role he is playing is an important one for our little industry. He is one of the few who bring together the different ideas and trends that are hot every year. We…
We have spoken about Task Mining in the podcast before (see below in the “Additional information” section), but I haven’t seen a lot of adoption of this technology in organizations — for multiple reasons that we will discuss. However, when we got into contact with Tuhin Chakraborty from Mimica, we could not say “no” to…
BPM is important because everything that we do in organizations are processes. So, why don’t we agree on a common nomenclature, and educate people with a standardized curriculum? Oh, it is because the players have a vested interested in coming up with “the next best thing” and selling it to your customers? But there is…
We are trying something new here at What’s Your Baseline? — J-M turns his focus on investigative journalism and starts asking the “hard questions” (and not just the softballs that I get from him at other times) 🙂But in all seriousness — this episode of the podcast is a conversation between the two of us,…
I was late to the game when I got exposed to the concept of OKRs a few years ago. Before that, I thought that it was just another term for setting objectives, and you can dump a million of those onto your people. But there is a different approach, a much gentler approach to OKRs,…
This is the last article in our series about how to set up your Process Mining project. In the first three articles we discussed the overall approach, roles, and the first step of developing a Process Mining strategy. Then we discussed the extraction of event logs and the creation of a data model, and in…
One misconception that many people have is that EA is just “that IT stuff”. Nothing is more false than that. If you *really* look at an enterprise, you will see that a full architecture encompasses all layers from strategy through business (processes, risks, orgs, etc.) to data, apps, and technology. But the real benefit is…
This is article 3 of our series how to do a Process Mining project. In the previous articles we took a look at the Process Mining strategy, the extraction of system logs, and the creation of a data model. In this article, we discuss the next two steps: the creation of a reference model for…
In the previous article, we have introduced you to the overall approach to a Process Mining project and the roles involved. We also took a closer look at the first step — defining your Process Mining strategy. In this article, we are looking at steps 2 and 3 of the process: extracting system logs and…
Why are so many organizations out there that have not discovered BPM (and in extension “architecture”) as something that can help their business problems, and also set the foundation for future growth?
