Ep. 91 — Leading Effective Change: Neelesh Halmarker

Episode 91 — Leading Effective Change: Neelesh Harmalker

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 […]

Legacy Modernization

Episode 90 — Legacy Modernization: Kastin Deal

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 […]

BPM Trends title

Episode 89 — Business Process Management Trends: Zbigniew Misiak

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 […]

AI-driven task mining

Episode 88 — AI-Driven Task Mining: Tuhin Chakraborty

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 […]

Process Management Education - Matus Mala

Episode 87 — Process Management Education: Matúš Mala

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 […]

Episode 86 - Successful Architecture Implementation

Episode 86 — Successful Architecture Implementation (Roland wrote a book)

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, […]

OKRs - Ben Lamorte

Episode 85 — OKRs: Ben Lamorte

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, […]

Unleashed EA - Leslie Title

Episode 84 — Unleashed Enterprise Architecture: Leslie Robinet

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 […]

Process Community thumbnail

Episode 83 — Process Community: Hanneke Loefs-Mos

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? Some reasons might lie in the niche characteristics (to avoid saying “nerdy”) of BPM and the lack of shared community and branding. That […]

2024 in Review

Episode 81 – 2024 in Review

The end is near … no, not what you are thinking. 2024 comes to a close in about two weeks, and we also end Season 7 of the podcast. And a lot has happened — in the industry, with tools, changes in companies and the life of people in our small community. Tune in to […]

Strateg-ish collaboration
