Collaboration Highlights: Strategy and Architecture with Strateg-ish
It feels as if Christmas is knocking on the door and brings gifts early. Today, our friends from The Strategish Podcast released the second part of our conversation about Strategy and Architecture. And it feels just like yesterday when we had both here in Episode 80! In this new episode, we are looking at what […]
Collaboration Highlights: BPM Conversations with BPM360
A few weeks ago, we had Caspar and Russell as guests in Episode 76. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to make it a collaboration (on their BPM360 Podcast). The result of it is your favorite podcast hosts now sitting in the hot chair on the other side. We had a blast chatting […]
Episode 80 – Execution-Aware Strategy: Dan Marquez and Craig Overmars
How do you bridge the gaps between Strategy and Execution, and how do you evolve execution as strategy pivots? That are the questions that are the topic of our podcast this week – the first of two episodes of a collaboration with the “Strateg-ish” podcast, run by our friends Craig Overmars and Dan Marquez, who […]
What Is Process Intelligence (and why should you care)?
Process Intelligence is a term that you might have encountered a bit more often these days, and one big driver of this is the popularity of Process and Task Mining. However, there are also voices out there who think that there is more to Process Intelligence than mining, and some who are thinking it is […]
Episode 79 — GRC From A Process Perspective: Michael Schank
GRC — three letters that scare a lot of people. So much that they like to avoid thinking of risks and compliance at all. But don’t be afraid (quite the opposite), GRC can not only be an addition to your artifacts to make them better, they can also benefit to your program by “having the […]
Episode 78 – EA Use Cases
I know that this might be a cultural issue, but I don’t see a lot of planning when it comes to projects anymore. Everything is “Agile” and I don’t see that things are seen through that often. Which is bad, because one of the promises of EA (and BPM) is that someone understands how things […]
Episode 77 – Mergers & Acquisitions: Luca de Risi and Nick Reed
There was a big splash in the Enterprise Architecture tool market a few weeks ago – Bizzdesign announced that they will merge with Mega and an unnamed third party (which we will learn about in Q4 soon, but cannot name here at this time). But why these two (three) players and why now? Since we […]
Episode 76 – EA/BPM Misconceptions: Caspar Jans & Russell Gomersall
Oh, why do I need a special EA/BPM tool? I am managing my apps in a spreadsheet just fine.That is one of the misconceptions that I have heard over the last twenty-something years of me helping clients to stand up practices and increase their EA/BPM maturity. And there are tons more of those … Well, […]
Episode 75 – Business Architecture For a New Product: Mike DeCamp
Do you need Business Architects when creating a new product? Isn’t that a bit redundant when you have highly-paid Product Managers already? Or is there an overlap between the two that will create a better product for the end users, but also for the organization because they can better support it and it is aligned […]
Episode 74 – Process Mining Readiness: Olaf Geyer
A lot of folks who are beginning with Process Mining see this as a technical or academic exercise and just want to know “how things works”. But what is that worth? You need to be able to implement changes based on your analysis. Otherwise, the exercise has no value IMHO (besides if it is a […]
Episode 73 – Leading High-Performance Architecture Teams: Amy Levine
Some organizations seem to perform better, create results faster, and the people in those organizations seem to have fun on top if this? But how can that be when you are currently stretched in all directions and don’t know how to get stuff done? In this episode we are talking with Amy Levine, who is […]
