Episode 66 – BPM Adoption Framework: Caspar Jans

Episode 64 – Data Projects: Wiebke Apitzsch

A lot of projects are just looking at processes and applications. One thing that typically does not get the limelight is the data that is needed to empower these two things. But why is that? Is it because data is “invisible” and cannot be touched or felt? Our guest today is Wiebke Apitzsch, who is […]

BPM Implementation - A User Story Title

Episode 62 – BPM Implementation – A User Story: Martin Holling

This episode is a first for the podcast – we are not talking about something from an external perspective, but speak with someone “in the trenches” who is actively implementing BPM in an 160-year old organization.

BPM and Process Lifecycle - Title

Episode 61 – BPM and Process Lifecycle

We had a couple of episodes where we discussed the Solution / Process Lifecycle, but this time we look at it from the perspective of Business Process organizations. What we see is a distinction between the different disciplines that are needed to deliver a full solution and there are organizations that see a “them” and […]

On a melange with the Process Wizard – Roland Woldt

Christoph Piller was our guest in Episode 53 “Subject-Oriented Process Management”, and he’s returning the favor to us again – this time I had the honor to have a coffee with him (in German, which is a nice opportunity to speak in one’s mother tongue).

J-M, your favorite podcast co-host, was the guest in Christoph Piller’s “On a melange with the Process Wizard” a few weeks ago, talking about BPM.

Podcasting and Architecture Title

Episode 55 – Podcasting and Architecture: Josèphe Blondaut, Jakub Dvořák, Mirko Kloppenburg

The way how we communicate and learn has changed over the last couple of years. One contributing factor is podcasting (or videocasting – we are no purists over here at What’s Your Baseline?). By now there are tons of excellent podcasts about Business Process Management, Process Mining, and Enterprise Architecture out there free of charge for you. We […]

APQC: Moritz Berger

Episode 54 – APQC: Moritz Berger

We spoke about frameworks and reference content as accelerators in a previous episode (listen here), but one of those is pretty popular here in North America, so that we have a deeper look into the APQC Process Classification Framework today. We are talking with Moritz Berger about the ins-and-outs of APQC, and will extend this […]

Episode 53 – Subject-oriented Process Management: Christoph Piller

Process Management has a bad reputation of downsizing, replacing humans with bots, and all those other things that one relates to “bad capitalism”. But there are also other ways to include humans into process management that are outside of these parameters. And, believe it or not, you still need humans to analyze, design, and improve […]

Customer Experience Management Title

Episode 49 – Customer Experience Management

Welcome to the last episode of our podcast in Season 4 (no worries, we’ll be back for a Season 5). Today we are talking about Customer Experience Management, which is complimentary to BPM and EA. The key difference is that Customer Experience Management has an outside-in perspective on things, versus the inside-out perspective of your […]

Gamification - title

Episode 46 – Gamification and Performance Management

Welcome to the next episode of our podcast. Today we are talking about Gamification, a topic that we are a bit critical towards, but which seems to be here to stay (it’s a generational thing, I guess…). But the twist in this episode is how it influences the performance of your architecture or business process […]

Enterprise Architecture - Luca de Risi

Episode 45 – Why do CIOs need Enterprise Architecture: Luca de Risi

Enterprise Architects? Aren’t those the useless people who always say “no”? That is one of the perspectives we have heard about EAs in the past. But what can EAs do and how do the progress from “noisy” to “influential”? In this episode of the What’s Your Baseline? podcast we discuss the role of Enterprise Architects […]
