What's Your Baseline? Enterprise Architecture & Business Process Management DemystifiedEp. 66 - BPM Adoption Framework: Caspar JansYou have chosen to start your BPM journey and are now asking yourself the question "how *DO* I get started?".
Well, one way is to look at a BPM Adoption Framework, the other is to ask someone who has done that before.
We are lucky to speak with someone who fulfills both criteria - our guest today is Caspar Jans, who also already has been a guest in an earlier episode on the show before :-)

What's Your Baseline? Enterprise Architecture & Business Process Management DemystifiedEp. 65 - Data ModelingThis 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 process model in BPMN?
But being clear about data is important when it comes to designing solution architectures (and in other use cases, such as regulatory compliance), and the three questions that you have to answer are:

What's Your Baseline? Enterprise Architecture & Business Process Management DemystifiedEp. 64 - Data Projects: Wiebke ApitzschA 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 working in "data" for over 15 years with companies like the Boston Consulting Group. Currently she is working in a small organization named "Datahearts" that focusses on the combination of business, data, and change expertise.Her role is the head of data...2024-03-1158 min
What's Your Baseline? Enterprise Architecture & Business Process Management DemystifiedEp. 63 - Process Mining Data: Lotte VugsAs we all know, the majority of time in a process mining project is in some form or fashion related to data preparation and a significant lower share of time is spent on the actual analysis. There are multiple ways of getting you data into shape (SQL, visual data modeling tools, etc.), but our guest today has developed an approach and a tool to flip this time relation and shorten process mining projects significantly.

Enterprise Architecture & Business Process Management DemystifiedEp. 61 - BPM and Process LifecycleWe 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 "us" between those.Unfortunately, I see a lot of these organizations also display a "mercenary approach" ("I am just here to create this artifact") and don't show the ownership of their part of an solution architecture and the following implementation, roll-out, and monitoring steps...2024-02-031h 04

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, while making them visible for you as a decider when you need to take not only the “big decisions”, but all those small decisions that you take dozens or more everyday.

This leads to these questions: what you can do in the tools, what can you expect, and -maybe most importantly- what do you do after you’ve done a part of the analysis. You also need to have a “meta process” on how to approach a Process Mining project.

By now there are tons of excellent podcasts about Business Process Management, Process Mining, and Enterprise Architecture out there free of charge for you.

Because transformation in today's times is not an exception but the reality for all organizations. It is not just "an update by IT", or something that is a "one and done". We all need to change and transform our organizations all the time. However, a lot of organizations are caught in their day-to-day issues and don't plan the change - they don't know how their "tomorrow" should...2023-08-141h 03

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 a topic that organizations have to adjust to in their business practices. And some areas of the world are doing this for decades by now - not only being pushed by the desire to do something good, but also because regulations require...2023-07-311h 05What's Your Baseline?

What's Your Baseline? Enterprise Architecture & Business Process Management DemystifiedEp. 49 - Customer Experience ManagementWelcome to the last episode of our podcast in Season 4 (no worries, we'll be back for a Season 5). Today we are talking about Customer Experience Management, which is complimentary to BPM and EA.
The key difference is that Customer Experience Management has an outside-in perspective on things, versus the inside-out perspective of your organization, which many BPM groups try to capture and manage. The point is that you shouldn't stop with this, but rather create an additional view in your architecture, that then can be designed - just as you design your process or app landscapes.

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 the same - get a factual basis from system records and then augment it with human information and interpretation.

But the twist in this episode is how it influences the performance of your architecture or business process team.

And the conversation was so good, that we totally overran our planned time of an hour.
But instead of leaving our thoughts about use cases for process mining, that are currently not implemented in standard process mining tools, we decided to use them as a What's Your Baseline Shorts episode. We are talking about:
Customer mining
Processes in the ecosystem
Process mining for sustainability (add this to analysis, not only of one firm, but a chain of more organizations)
