We talk (a lot) about technology and processes here on the podcast. But what about the human side of Business Process Management? Do we just forget them and aim for the desired outcome no matter what? No, we don’t … In this episode of the What’s Your Baseline podcast we speak with Mirko Kloppenburg, who started […]
Even given the fact that we are living in the 21st century, it is interesting to see that the percentage of women who studied technology or worked in the process industry actually decreased over time. Which is a sad state of affairs. So the question now is, how we -as an industry- can add more […]
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, […]
Welcome to another episode of our podcast. Today we are talking about how to choose a process mining tool, to close the loop to the “How to select an architecture tool” episode (link below). In this episode of the podcast we are talking about: What are process mining tools and how they are different than […]
It is interesting to see how a “fringe idea” like Open Source software became mainstream within just a few years and everyone of us is using the outcome of it in our daily lives (mostly without knowing it – or have you thought what runs your car radio or the datacenter of your preferred search […]
A few months ago we had an initial look at how to manage and implement change in our conversation with Caspar Jans (in Episode 16) and we are continuing that series with an excellent conversation with Wings Liang about Quality Excellence and how organizations need to “shift left” and can gain competitive advantage by changing their perspective. Wings helps […]

In this episode of the podcast we are talking about: What is maturity and which three areas you should focus on (content, governance, adoption) Assessment of capabilities (5 big […]
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 […]
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 […]
We’re back! Welcome to Season 3 of the What’s Your Baseline podcast. A big thank you for more than 7500 downloads… so far! This season we’re continuing our deep dive into three areas relevant to architecture and process management professionals (and casual fans!). The first area is “content” – we will explore various topics, including […]
We made it – 25 long form episodes of the podcast (and 7 “Shorts” as well). By popular demand – and because our statistics shows it – we are having “(Another) Ten Things I’ve Learned” episode. This time we are talking about three major areas: How to measure your architecture and improvement programs Architecture / […]
People. For better or worse, a lot of the topics in EA and BPM center around people.
