Design-driven Transformation: James Toomey

Episode 51 – Design-driven Transformation: James Toomey

We had the topic of today’s episode – transformation – a couple of times on this podcast, even though we did not call the episodes like that. But why?

Sustainability Title

Episode 50 – Sustainability: Anthony Gilbreath

Some topics seem to be a “stretch too far” for this podcast, and the topic for today’s episode seems to be one of those: Sustainability. But is it? Yes, Sustainability -or the lack of it- is a global problem, that manifests itself in climate change, social restructuring, and many other forms. But it also becomes […]

Enterprise Mining Mark McGregor Title

Episode 48 – Enterprise Mining: Mark McGregor

We have spoken about Process Mining and data-driven decision making quite a lot on this podcast. But does it stop with mining processes? I think the next step is growing this field of data analysis to “Enterprise Mining” where the same idea will be applied to apps, data, orgs, risks, etc. And the idea is […]

Process Simulation - Title

Episode 47 – Process simulation: John Hill

We are at the next step of moving our organizations to the digital twin which will allow us to monitor “the plane” (our businesses) in real-time and compare it with the predictions of the future. This missing step is Process Simulation, a “thing” that existed for years already and was widely underused. The change though […]

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…).

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.

When starting with process management one of the first questions is “what process notation shall I use”.

Business Architecture

Episode 42 – Structure Your Business Architecture

I see a lot of separated efforts in organizations – people run projects, implement systems, restructure the organization, and model processes. Aren’t these all connected activities that should be coordinated to create a *gulp* architecture that carries the load? But what is a “Business Architecture” and how is it different from just an assembly of […]
