A few weeks ago J-M and I had the chance to be part of Josèphe Blondaut’s “Passion for Process” podcast/video series.

Episode 32 – Women in Process: Josèphe Blondaut and Gabriela Galic

Episode 31 – Security architecture: Rick Smith
Updating the “plumbing” is not sexy. Looking at measures being put in place to avoid the worst case or deal with it when it happens is not fancy. Educating people and reminding them on being alert is exhausting. However, the topic of Security and Security Architecture is one of the most important things to do, […]

Wings helps […]

Podcast – State of Process Automation guest appearance
This is a first – I was invited to be a guest on Christoph Pacher’s State of Process Automation podcast, and it was the first podcast that I did in German! We spoke about Process Mining and how this can fit into the Process / Solution Lifecycle, to ensure that processes are designed to be […]

Episode 26 – Communicating the value of architecture: Laurie Kelly
One of the biggest problems of architecture groups was (is?) that they are doing good work, but that will not be recognized by others. One of the causes for that is that their repository and artifacts have almost no visibility outside of their group. To mitigate this situation, we are speaking with Laurie Kelly about […]

In this What’s Your […]
