“Successful Architecture Implementation” launch
I just noticed that I never posted here officially about the book that I wrote — “Successful Architecture Implementation.” It was published on Monday last week, and I like to thank the first people who have already received their copy! I am looking forward to seeing your reviews and getting your feedback. 🙂 The last […]
Guest Appearance on the BPM360 Podcast
Another guest appearance in one of our friend’s podcasts – I was the guest in Russell’s and Caspar’s “BPM360 Podcast.” And, as expected, it was a very intriguing and entertaining conversation. Of course, the “hook” for the invite was my book “Successful Architecture Implementation” but we quickly switched to the content and concepts of the […]
Guest Appearance with the “Process Philosophers”
Another appearance on another podcast — I had the opportunity to be a guest on the “Die Prozessphilosophen” (the process philosophers) podcast. This is always fun to record in your native language, and we spoke about the new book “Successful Architecture Implementation” (no surprise), but also about the content and how process management is done […]
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 (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, […]
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, […]

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 […]

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 […]
Six Steps for Process Mining Project Success (Pt. 1) — Overview and Strategy
Process Mining is more than a technology or a single process analysis approach. It is an assembly of analysis methods that have been done in the past, but are now based on data (in the form of an event log from runtime systems) and supported by a tool that does the process-oriented calculations for you.
