Ep. 81 - 2024 in Review 1:12:23

8d ago1:12:23

1:12:23

The end is near … no, not what you are thinking. 2024 comes to a close in about two weeks, and we also end Season 7 of the podcast. And a lot has happened — in the industry, with tools, changes in companies and the life of people in our small community. Tune in to learn about our thoughts about what we’ve seen in the last year and an outlook for 20…

Ep. 80 - Execution-Aligned Strategy: Dan Marquez and Craig Overmars 55:19

24d ago55:19

55:19

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 has been a guest on our show before.

Ep. 79 - GRC From a Process Perspective: Michael Schank 49:55

1M ago49:55

49:55

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 ear” of influential people in your organization … who, by coinc…

Ep. 78 - EA Use Cases 55:47

2M ago55:47

55:47

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 are wired up and what to change, so that you accomplish your …

Ep. 77 - Mergers & Acquisitions: Luca de Risi and Nick Reed 54:56

2M ago54:56

54:56

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 know some people in the industry, I reached out to Luca …

Ep. 76 - BPM/EA Misconceptions: Caspar Jans & Russell Gomersall 1:02:09

3M ago1:02:09

1:02:09

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, our first guest doesn't need an introduction si…

Ep. 75 - Business Architecture For A New Product: Mike DeCamp 51:13

3M ago51:13

51:13

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 with the underlying process. Our gu…

Ep. 74 - Process Mining Readiness: Olaf Geyer 42:29

4M ago42:29

42:29

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 Proof-of-Concept in a sales situation, but even then you sh…

Ep. 73 - Leading High-Performance Architecture Teams: Amy Levine 51:01

4M ago51:01

51:01

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 an expert in neuroscience and how it impacts high…

Hey J-M, what do think when you hear the word “seven”? Well, maybe the seven wonders of the world? Seven rings? Seven deadly sins? My favourite song by Ariana Grande? Hmm, these are all good ideas, but how about a Season 7 of the What’s Your Baseline podcast? No way, what do we have in store for this season? A mix of interviews and topic shows, jus…

Ep. 72 - The Retirement Challenge: Peggy McCann 55:33

6M ago55:33

55:33

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 as well. And not too many organizatio…

Ep. 71 - Business Architecture Implementation - A User Story: Breanne Casteel 1:00:49

6M ago1:00:49

1:00:49

How do I get started? What is the first thing that I look at? Who will be my allies? What do I need to put in place? When you are tasked to build a brand new Business Architecture practice in an organization that has not had one before is a challenging task. When you have to do this in a 60-year old organization in a field that is relatively unique…

Ep. 70 - BPM Use Cases 1:10:47

1:10:47

"I just bought your tool, now you have to tell me what I can do with it". No kidding, that is what one client to said to me once. Well, here is a starter for you - in our latest episodes we are talking about the use cases for Business Process Management (not all of them, because we have that self-imposed limit of an hour-ish length for each episode…

Ep. 69 - Building Community: Heather Wendt 1:04:31

7M ago1:04:31

1:04:31

Why do some applications have a large following and their revenues soar, while others are struggling with making a sale and are virtually unknown? Or why do you struggle with building internal acceptance for your program? One reason might be that the former companies were able to build a community that includes not only users (and ends up being a g…

Ep. 68 - AI and BPM: Scott Armstrong 1:01:32

8M ago1:01:32

1:01:32

AI is *the* hot thing these days and you cannot pass any tool that does not have these two characters attached to it. That is also true for the BPM space, and this week we have the pleasure to speak with a person who is working in this space for over 20 years and his tool has built in AI already, while other vendors are still thinking about how to …

Ep. 67: Low-Code/No-Code Automation: Maximilian Neumaier 1:03:18

8M ago1:03:18

1:03:18

The age old question: how do you make your processes "evergreen". Well, one way is to update your models on a regular basis (for example to comply with regulations), but is that really "the process" or is it just a picture of it? Your processes come to life when someone performs them and for this you need to be able measure them. To support the pro…

Ep. 66 - BPM Adoption Framework: Caspar Jans 1:06:30

9M ago1:06:30

1:06:30

You 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…

Ep. 65 - Data Modeling 1:00:48

9M ago1:00:48

1:00:48

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 process model in BPMN? But being clear about data is impor…

Ep. 64 - Data Projects: Wiebke Apitzsch 58:21

10M ago58:21

58:21

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 working in "data" for over 15 years with companies …

Ep. 63 - Process Mining Data: Lotte Vugs 57:18

10M ago57:18

57:18

As 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 fli…

Ep. 62 - BPM Implementation - A User Story: Martin Holling 1:04:09

This episode is a first for the podcast - we are not talking about something from an external perspective, but speak with someone "in the trenches" who is actively implementing BPM in an 160-year old organization. Our guest today is Martin Holling, who is working at Kemna (a road construction company in northern Germany) and who has worked at Sieme…

Ep. 61 - BPM and Process Lifecycle 1:04:41

11M ago1:04:41

1:04:41

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 "us" between those. Unfortuna…

You might have heard it in the last episode of the podcast (Ep. 59: Process Inventory), that our guest Michael Schank has written a book ;-) That triggered two things with us - first, making a WYB Shorts about the process of writing a book and become a published author, and second, nudging Michael for a giveaway of three books to some randomly draw…

15:50

Last week's episode of the podcast was a very good conversation about learning and enablement with Ron Cohen, Peter Dern, and Adam Egger, and we could have talked for hours about this topic. However, the conversation took quite a turn after I asked how the future of learning will look like. But we also were at the top of the hour and we didn't want…

How do you set up learning and enablement for your architecture/process people? What has changed since the days of instructor-led training, and where will the field of enablement go into the future (hint: it might be creepy for some of us). In this episode of the What's Your Baseline? podcast we are looking into the field of learning and enablement…

Ep. 57 - Process Mining Analysis 1:18:29

1y ago1:18:29

1:18:29

You bought the tool and now the most critical question for your success comes up: “Now what?”. 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. The…

Ep. 56 - Center of Excellence (CoE): Gia Thi Nguyen 1:02:24

1:02:24

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 is located in the org structure). In this episode we are tal…

1:04:48

Process Management has a bad reputation of downsizing, replacing humans with bots, and all those other things that one relates to "bad capitalism". But there are also other ways to include humans into process management that are outside of these parameters. And, believe it or not, you still need humans to analyze, design, and improve processes.

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? 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 t…

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?
