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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Some organizations are like a ticking time bomb when it comes to their processes and (IT) architecture. “The old guard” is about to leave the organization in masses (and sometimes not voluntarily) and a lot of knowledge about how things are wired up – which is what architecture is all about, right? – will leave […]
This episode closes out the mini series about data, and this time we talk about data modeling. Data models are some of the things that I have seen the least often in projects over the last two decades. Why is that? Is it because it is too geeky, or not interesting enough compared to, say, […]
A lot of projects are just looking at processes and applications. One thing that typically does not get the limelight is the data that is needed to empower these two things. But why is that? Is it because data is “invisible” and cannot be touched or felt? Our guest today is Wiebke Apitzsch, who is […]
We had a couple of episodes where we discussed the Solution / Process Lifecycle, but this time we look at it from the perspective of Business Process organizations. What we see is a distinction between the different disciplines that are needed to deliver a full solution and there are organizations that see a “them” and […]
We are wrapping up Season 5 of this podcast with an episode that I was looking forward to for quite some time now – we are talking about operational intelligence. What is that, you might ask. Well it is the insights into what your complex organization does by using technology and measuring the important things, […]
How do you plan your transformation? By looking out of the window or asking your two best friends? Or would it be better if you had an overview of all the things that your organization does – in the form of a process inventory? Michael is a distinguished thought leader and executive, specializing in addressing […]
Implementing a tool or standing up a new capability can be a complex task. Standing up a Center of Excellence as part of this implementation can help ease the pain for new users. However, it is not always clear what a CoE shall do and how it is integrated into an organization (or where it […]
We spoke about frameworks and reference content as accelerators in a previous episode (listen here), but one of those is pretty popular here in North America, so that we have a deeper look into the APQC Process Classification Framework today. We are talking with Moritz Berger about the ins-and-outs of APQC, and will extend this […]
