Second Chance: Simulation — What's Your Baseline Shorts 3 16:01

۷ روز پیش16:01

16:01

This week we release another What's Your Baseline? Shorts for you just to lighten up our summer break a bit. The topic is why simulation should not be in your process mining tool. And I'm fully aware that this is a controversial thing because people might think, “Well, it's convenient to have it in your process mining tool to do some what-ifs and move on.” But I honestly think it's a bad decision because you're limited to your process mining data, and, hand on heart, how many processes have you mined in your organization? So without further ado, have fun with this week's What's Your Baseline? Shorts. See you next week! (And here are the show notes from the initial release) The topic of this What’s Your Baseline Shorts podcast is process simulation and why you should not have this in your process mining tool but rather as part of your design platform. We speak about these topics: Why simulation? What do you need for simulation? What are the outcomes of a simulation? What are the different types of simulation?

Second Chance: What Makes A Good Dashboard - What's Your Baseline? Shorts 6 17:38

17:38

Today, we are re-releasing a “What's Your Baseline?” short from about two and a half years ago. And the topic of today is how to create good dashboards. And I do not think about how to do this mechanically with your tool of choice. I'm thinking about what is the thinking behind it. That might be because I'm currently writing on the chapter about dashboarding and storytelling in my upcoming second book, “Successful Processed Mining Projects”. So without further ado, enjoy What's Your Baseline? Shorts 6: How to create a good dashboard. (And here are the show notes from the initial release) Everyone wants to consume and understand large amounts of data. But how do you plan, design, and implement a good dashboard? In this What's Your Baseline Shorts , J-M and Roland walk you through the process and the considerations at each step, so that the next time you create a dashboard (for example as part of your Process Mining analysis) it will be stakeholder-oriented with a clear visual hierarchy that will make your users understand your message easily and quickly. In this episode, we are talking about: Identify your stakeholders and information needs Define KPI and measures Create a solution design Build the dashboards Identify data stories Roll-out dashboards Please reach out to us by either sending an email to hello@whatsyourbaseline.com or sign up for our newsletter and get informed when we publish new episodes here: https://www.whatsyourbaseline.com/subscribe.…

We are off for a few weeks, but instead of leaving you without your regular What's Your Baseline? fix , we decided to do something different this summer. Since we started the podcast almost four years ago, we have grown quite a bit, and back in Season 2 we did a little "side show" and produced the "What's Your Baseline? Shorts" - 15 minutes, one topic, barely an edit. And this week, we are re-releasing Shorts 1, in which we are discussing the age-old question of "EPC versus BPMN". Enjoy! (And here are the show notes from the initial release) This is the first episode of the What's Your Baseline Shorts series. We are talking about the topic of process notations, especially if you should choose the BPMN or the EPC notation. High-level topics include: What are EPC and BPMN? A bit of history Specialties of each notation, and difficulties that might arise Data exchange with BPMN External standards Please reach out to us by either sending an email to ⁠hello@whatsyourbaseline.com⁠ or leaving us a voice message by clicking ⁠here⁠ .

The world is changing faster than one might think, or at least it appears this way … and nobody seems to do solution architecture anymore. And plenty of organizations seem to have given up on planning what they are doing and changing in their system landscape, organizations, processes, etc. But that is wrong. You need to describe the changes so that you can agree on things and everyone is on the same page (and understands the direction, goals, and measurements going forward). In this episode of the podcast , we talk about: A quick review of Season 8, and what happens here at What’s Your Baseline? What is solution architecture? How does it fit into the solution lifecycle Benefits of having a solution architecture Where in the organization should solution architects be located? The network of solution architectures and how to manage those What do you need to do solution architecture in your organization (tools, approach)?

Ep. 92 - Emotional Intelligence: Steve Ponting 50:42

Some folks go to work and are drained before they even turn on their computer, and they cannot figure out why that is when all the aspects of the job seem to be fine — the tasks, the title, the money. What they don't see is that the managers might be the reason, and that the managers miss emotional intelligence — the ability to “read the room” — and cannot adjust their behavior (and therefore are “off”). This challenge is why we speak with Steve Ponting, who is thinking hard about this topic and is a great advocate for org change management and the way how we as humans behave (and he gives us a brief intro into the three major professional steps that brought him there at the beginning of the episode). Steve is a strategically minded go-to-market leader at ARIS, and he guides cross-functional teams to position our capabilities with enterprise clients across multiple regions. He is recognized as a LinkedIn Top Voice and featured across leading publications and major platforms including CNBC, Steve combines strategic vision, operational acumen, and industry insight to deliver lasting impact. He's passionate about helping organizations adapt, scale, and lead through change. Having gathered over 10 years' experience in direct and in-direct leadership (managing managers), Steve fosters high-performance cultures, promotes innovation through a fail-fast mindset, and enables cross-functional collaboration. As a technology generalist, Steve's career spans senior roles across both industry and enterprise software. From serving as an IT Director to leading technical sales teams at portfolio software firms, he has developed a practical understanding of how to connect business needs with technical solutions. In this episode of the podcast , we are talking about: Steve's background What is Emotional Intelligence (EQ), and why is it important? Is EQ still needed in these times of advanced technology (AI)? What happens with the people, and what are the impacts on the organizations and their customers? How to recognize/measure emotional intelligence How to get people to develop EQ and the positive benefits — purpose, belonging, and autonomy Where will the future go?

Have you noticed transformation fatigue in your organization? The feeling that you run faster and faster, and have to do more with less, while you don't accomplish the results of the changes that you were out for? Well, one aspect of that might be that you haven't “picked up” the folks in your organization where they are, and now they are working silently against the positive change that you want to instill. In the past, this was a simple concept, but today it is difficult to manage. That is why we invited Neelesh to our show so that he can share his years of org change management experience with us. Neelesh is an Operational Excellence Leader with 18+ years of experience driving enterprise-wide transformation, automation, and performance optimization for Fortune 500 firms in financial services, banking, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and high-tech. He's a proven expert in end-to-end process improvement, digital transformation, intelligent automation, and large-scale operational strategy, leading global teams to streamline workflows, enhance efficiency, and reduce costs. Neelesh specializes in scaling process excellence initiatives, integrating AI, process mining, and automation to drive sustainable business impact. In this episode of the podcast , we are talking about: Neelesh's background The resistance to change — the “why” … and the lack of a “change muscle” in organizations Did the approach to OCM change over the years? The change curve and the “never-ending change” today — take a break and celebrate milestones How can change be decelerated to a more “human pace”? (Spoiler alert: not likely) Best practices in OCM Setting up communities / safe space The role of managers in change — bottom-up vs. top-down changes Neelesh is active on LinkedIn and can be reached here: linkedin.com/in/ neeleshharmalker .

In many minds, legacy is “everything that works”. And even if that is not always true, many organizations look at their legacy systems and get a headache. How do you replace or update a set of systems that have served you so well over years or decades? That is why we are speaking with our guest Kastin Deal about legacy modernization in this episode. With over 8 years at Hitachi Rail, Kastin's expertise lies in spearheading IT strategy and digital transformation, aligning with the company's mission towards sustainable technological advancement. At Hitachi, the role involves balancing application, infrastructure, and data project investments and ensuring their alignment with our overarching IT strategy. Kastin's commitment to innovation and process excellence contributes to evolving business models and driving success within a global framework. Most recently, as the Global Business Architect Lead, Kastin designed and executed the digital revamp of Hitachi Rail Group's business management system. This initiative encompassed strategy execution, process excellence, and enterprise architecture, harmonizing 50 global processes. The responsibilities also extended to product rationalization and the integration of sustainable IT practices, which have been instrumental in enhancing operational efficiency across multinational IT services and lines of business. In this episode of the podcast , we are talking about: Kastin's background Definition of “legacy” Benefits of legacy modernization Alignment of Enterprise Architecture, Business Architecture, and Solution Architecture as key players How to get to the desired outcomes in legacy project and what architects contribute to this Different views needed when defining the legacy replacement solution Use of ArchiMate as notation for solution design You can reach Kastin via LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kastin-deal-1b22b4203/ and email at kastindeal@gmail.com.

Having the “Oracle of BPM” on the show? Yes, please. Even though our guest, Zbigniew Misiak , denies that, the role he is playing is an important one for our little industry. He is one of the few who bring together the different ideas and trends that are hot every year. We were genuinely interested in speaking with him about what he learned over the years and where he sees the ship sailing. And on top of it, he turned around the roles and interviewed us for parts of the show … Zbigniew is a BPM consultant at the BOC Group, where he also takes care of the community of their free Business Process Analysis tool (the “Community Edition”). As a part of his job, he is also working with other BPM vendors in BPMN Model Interchange Working Group . You can learn more about that effort in the “ Making BPMN a true lingua franca ” article on BPTrends. Zbigniew has the privilege of working with a team of great BPM experts creating a new version of the OMG Certified Expert in BPM exam and participating in BPMN, CMMN and DMN task forces. From time to time, he also runs BPM courses at various universities in Poland. I also offer courses on Udemy such as BPMN for business analysts . And since he doesn't have other things to do in his spare time, he is also currently co-authoring a book about BPM, which will come out later this year. In this episode of the podcast , we are talking about: Zbigniew's background The history of the BPM Skills questionnaire since 2016 Some topics from this year's version The “state of BPM” — trends and patterns Involvement of people and staging of ideas The example of a logistics company / InPost (also in the “additional information” section) You can find Zbigniew's blog at bpmtips.com and reach him from there.

We have spoken about Task Mining in the podcast before (see the “Additional information” section in the full show notes ), but I haven't seen a lot of adoption of this technology in organizations — for multiple reasons that we will discuss. However, when we got into contact with Tuhin Chakraborty from Mimica, we could not say “no” to speaking with him about their AI-driven approach to Task Mining. Tuhin grew up in the Bay Area, which means he was exposed to technology and the changes that we all see today his whole life. This led to positions at Pandora and LinkedIn, before he started Mimica Automation in 2017. Since then, he has perfected the AI technology behind this Task Mining tool to make it a “process improvement tool, not a performance measurement tool” (I love this attitude :-). In this episode of the podcast , we are talking about: Tuhin's background What is Task Mining? How does Task Mining work? How Mimica captures the data and processes it How is Task Mining deployed? Using Task Mining to support changes in systems and monitoring the changes The data management/surveillance problem with Task Mining (that creates trust problems if not handled correctly) An outlook on the use of mining technology in the future Case studies and how can a customer prepare for their first project You can reach Tuhin and take a look at the tool over at mimica.ai .

BPM is important because everything that we do in organizations are processes. So, why don't we agree on a common nomenclature, and educate people with a standardized curriculum? Oh, it is because the players have a vested interested in coming up with “the next best thing” and selling it to your customers? But there is the need for a basic training for everyone (?) in an organization about process management, and the guest in this episode, Matúš Mala, is working on creating the foundation for this. Matúš is a BPM philanthropist & coach, podcast host, independent [Business] Process Management & Automation advocate, organizer of the BPM-Munich, meetup, trainer, mentor, servant leader, career advisor, solution architect, agile developer … or to say it in other words: a busy man. He is currently fascinated by all aspects of modern BPM, including hyperautomation, citizen development, automation fabric and other hot trends. As a lecturer at the TH Augsburg, I have the opportunity to pass on my knowledge and passion for these topics. In this episode of the podcast , we are talking about: Matúš' background Importance of education in BPM topics — do we need it, or is it enough to learn on the job? Is the current education status good or bad? Gartner predictions for Digitalization / BPM / Hyperautomation / AI / Low-Code / … areas Do we need to change something? And how?

So, what is it all about? Well — some of you might have heard — I wrote a book, which will be officially published soon (this month!). And since it is about the first and second most popular topics of all What's Your Baseline? podcasts, I think it is highly relevant for our audience. In this episode of the podcast , we talk about: Why a book, why me, and why this book? How was the book writing/creation process? What does it take to become an author?

I was late to the game when I got exposed to the concept of OKRs a few years ago. Before that, I thought that it was just another term for setting objectives, and you can dump a million of those onto your people. But there is a different approach, a much gentler approach to OKRs, that makes more sense to me now. And because I found that mental change so interesting, I was excited when Ben Lamorte reached out to me and asked if he could be a guest on the show. And of course, I said “yes”. Ben Lamorte is a leading figure in the space of “Objectives and Key Results” (OKRs). He has more OKRs coaching experience than anyone on the planet. Ben is a coach to business leaders focused on defining and making measurable progress on their most important goals. He started OKRs.com in 2014 and over the past decade has helped 200+ organizations based in 20+ countries implement OKRs including eBay, Adobe, Capital One, 3M, ServiceNow, Zalando, and Nike. After co-authoring one of the first books dedicated to OKRs, Ben wrote The OKRs Field Book, the first book written specifically for OKRs coaches, published by Wiley in 2022. He studied Engineering and Mathematics at the University of California, Davis and holds a graduate degree in Management Science & Engineering from Stanford University. In this episode of the podcast , we are talking about: Ben's background Why OKRs gained popularity? How has the use of OKRs evolved over the last 20 years? (industries, levels of use etc.?) In general, why do so many workers complain about OKRs? Are their OKRs programs failing? What are the 3 phases for implementing OKRs as detailed in your field book? What are the deployment parameters that must be defined in phase 1 and why is this so important? Ben can be found on LinkedIn and contacted via his website at okrs.com .

One misconception that many people have is that EA is just “that IT stuff”. Nothing is more false than that. If you *really* look at an enterprise, you will see that a full architecture encompasses all layers from strategy through business (processes, risks, orgs, etc.) to data, apps, and technology. But the real benefit is that you can create a line of sight through all these layers. This will help you not only to identify the as-is and how you should change based on where you are, but also allow you to connect all people who are happy sitting in their silos. That is why we invited Leslie Robinet to be the guest of this episode. Leslie is passionate about continuous improvement, practicing and promoting being an agent of positive change. She has leveraged this for the benefit of clients through her career in consulting and services. These values are also present in her commitment to volunteering and associations, with environmental and human considerations. Leslie's dedication to sustainable development goes beyond a personal reach. On the associative side, actively involved in volunteer work since her youth, she invests locally by being one of the founders of “Mon Epice’Rit”, a co-operative grocery store demonstrating values of solidarity and ecology. Through this vector they raise awareness locally through presentations and workshops. In this episode of the podcast, we are talking about: Leslie's background Limiting EA vs. unlimited EA — where to start and what to accomplish Decision-making, people, perspective to plan and adapt to change: global approach to Enterprise Architecture How to approach the use cases — how can EA help solve the problems? Use models and modeling to represent the complex reality in a simplified way The Digital Twin concept. You can find Leslie on LinkedIn and reach out to her company to get in contact.

Why are so many organizations out there that have not discovered BPM (and in extension “architecture”) as something that can help their business problems, and also set the foundation for future growth? Some reasons might lie in the niche characteristics (to avoid saying “nerdy”) of BPM and the lack of shared community and branding. That is why we invited our current guest to the podcast . Hanneke's motto is to “Embrace the Chaos”: Creating structure during transition. She focuses on processes, finance, and systems with a human touch by implementing Business Process Management (BPM) so that she can be the linking pin between strategy and operations. Her background is within the range of Startups (CFO Laevo exoskeletons) and global Corporates (Schiphol Airport/ ETG commodities) in various Industries. Hanneke is an open and engaging personality with a fair and critical mindset — which one can hear within the first few minutes of the episode :-) In this episode of the podcast we are talking about: Hanneke’s background in finance, process optimization (Lean/6S), and quality management The problem of lack of knowledge and objections about BPM in organizations The “carve out” concept and the use of a Target Operating Model The small BPM community Branding of BPM (the discipline, not tools) How to grow the community Hanneke can be found on LinkedIn and at her website, www.olcama.nl .

Ep. 80 - Execution-Aligned Strategy: Dan Marquez and Craig Overmars 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. This episode looks at strategy with the perspective that an architect might have - how is it done, what are the outcomes that one can align to, etc. In the second episode, which will be out on the Strateg-ish channel soon, we discuss the opposite side of this: what can strategists expect and what do they have to know when they are doing their work and expect it to be implemented. Both, Dan and Craig, have a background in strategy and worked in various consulting organizations and are now working in this field at Google. In this episode of the podcast we are talking about: Dan's and Craig's backgrounds What is "strategy" anyway (definition) How can it be developed in rapid-pace organizations? The process of strategy development The kind of artifacts that one can expect as an outcome of the development The typical timeframe of a strategy development project Craig and Dan can be found on LinkedIn (of course) and their " Strategish " podcast can be found here: https://open.spotify.com/show/3h5l2eefFGb9YtPvUVnsDn?si=f8c690a4b197408a.

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 coincidence, can generate budget out of nowhere, it seems. And we are happy to welcome Michael Schank (again) who has worked in that space in the financial industry for years. Michael is a distinguished thought leader and executive, specializing in addressing Digital Transformation and Operational Excellence challenges through his innovative, process-based framework. With over 25 years of experience in the Financial Services industry, he has primarily served as a management consultant, empowering clients with forward-thinking solutions in technology, process, and risk and spearheading large-scale business and digital transformations. Michael brings a powerful combination of superior sales and delivery skills, having personally sold and delivered over $100M in consulting services. He is the author of the book, ‘Digital Transformation Success,’ in which he introduces his groundbreaking Process Inventory framework. This promises to be a transformative approach to achieving success in the digital era, unlocking unprecedented levels of operational efficiency and strategic alignment. In this episode of the podcast we are talking about: Michael’s background Three lines of defense in risk management Integrated, business-oriented risk management How to create the foundation for this and integrate with performance data Involved teams and roles Why risk programs fail and teams struggle How to set up a program for success How AI and Digital Twins can help with the leg work Michael can be found on LinkedIn (of course) and on his website at https://www.processinventory.com/ .

Ep. 78 - EA Use Cases 55:47

36 weeks پیش55:47

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 objective - which should always be business-driven FWIW. From my perspective this is a step back in the maturity of the discipline of Enterprise Architecture. And given the fact that the maturity was never high to start with, this is not a good development. To help a bit in this situation J-M and I talk about EA use cases to give you some direction what you can do when you decide that this is a capability that you want to implement in your organization. In this episode of the What's Your Baseline Podcast we talk about: Short (-ish) review of Episode 70 "BPM Use Cases" Recap of Episode 70 to set the context App/IT portfolio mgmt / rationalization Roadmapping Project portfolio mgmt / rationalization (looking at capabilities) Mergers & Acquisitions Operational resilience and disaster recovery Strategy Roles of architects Please reach out to us by either sending an email to hello@whatsyourbaseline.com or leaving us a voice message by clicking here .…

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 de Risi from Mega and we quickly came up with the idea of doing a show about Mergers & Acquisitions and not only talk about the current example, but also more generally about ownership models, how M&A comes together, and what that means for the involved organizations. Our first guest doesn't need an introduction since he has been on the show already: Luca de Risi. Luca is Mega’s Chief Executive Officer and he held various leadership positions at the firm before that, like, being the country manager for the APAC business while being located in Singapore, or as Business Development Executive in the United States. He started his career as an internal auditor for a major French car maker before joining Mega. Our second guest is Nick Reed, the Chief Strategy Officer of BizzDesign. He is a senior software and services leader with a successful track record of building and leading teams in high growth software technology companies. Strategy development and execution, M&A, value proposition development, strategic partnerships and analyst relations. Nick builds long term relationships with customers, with a relentless focus on business value and customer success and is a strong cross-functional team player, connecting the dots across sales, marketing, product, services and customer success for strategic initiatives. In this episode of the podcast we are talking about: Luca’s and Nick’s backgrounds Forms of ownership and the impact on an organization’s strategy What are the reasons (and timing) to acquire another organization Criteria to check if you are a match Impact of a merger on customers and products What is the process of mergers and acquisitions What is the impact on the organization(s)?

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 guest this week is Mike DeCamp, who has over 15 years of professional experience in business analysis, project management, and process improvement. He is a Senior Product Manager at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), one of the world's leading cancer research and treatment centers. Mike has earned multiple certifications in Business Benefits Realization, Change Management, Business & Enterprise Architecture, and Financial Literacy, and is a proficient thought leader in areas of strategy development and cross functional leadership. In this episode of the podcast we are talking about: Mike's background Business Architecture - how the BA Guild defines it and how it relates to other frameworks and concepts Business architecture artifacts as the value contribution to make the connection to the strategy/business model How Mike applied BA to a new product in his day job at MSKCC How BA provides the context when defining new projects or programs (for products, but also otherwise) How to keep structures up-to-date when everything is a project To reach out to Mike via LinkedIn have a look here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-decamp-cba%C2%AE-02bb6b2/ Please reach out to us by either sending an email to hello@whatsyourbaseline.com or leaving us a voice message by clicking here .…

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 should choose a process that you get some actionable insights from). We are speaking with Olaf Geyer about this topic. Olaf is a very experienced BPM consultant and held multiple leadership roles in the past, such as Consulting Director, Customer Success Director, or leading the Consulting Team for the Americas at one BPM software vendor. These days he is working in the professional services organization at Software AG and is focussing on Process Mining and the consulting methodology that his team uses when working with clients. The Process Mining Readiness Assessment is one of the “products” that came out of that work. In this episode of the podcast we are talking about: Olaf’s background (and the long history we are sharing at two employers) Why doing a Process Mining Readiness activity – what are the experiences that Olaf has made in the past that led to the development of the offering? Criteria for picking the right process as the first Process Mining project Objectives for the first project and how it fits into the “bigger picture” Data readiness as critical factor supporting a goal-oriented Process Mining What is goal-based / hypothesis-based Process Mining?

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 organizations are prepared for this, and rather pretend that the young kid fresh from college can fill the hole. Note to those orgs: they won't. Our guest in this episode is Peggy McCann - she is a veteran business professional who has specialized working in areas that transform business operations. Peggy worked extensively in process mapping and process improvement utilizing new and emerging technologies. She developed workflows for companies that installed new ERP systems that necessitated corporate culture and process change, and worked on multi-national implementations advising and working to meld program roll out to national standards and diverse cultures both internal and external. Peggy is a project leader covering process engineering; functional/system integration; process controls and system security, and does business advisement for entrepreneurs; financial tracking, marketing, web presence, and ecommerce. She is an advisor for game development firm dealing with internet safety for children, multi user controls and guidelines - community work establishing and defining arts in action. In this episode of the podcast we are talking about: Peggy's background The impact of (forced) retirement for the individuals and what organizations do wrong in that situation. And challenges for the people who shall replace them Benefits of keeping older employees around (the pendulum that swings) Risks for organizations - IT architecture, lack of interest on old technology, data lakes, etc. Orgs don't know what is running! What can companies (HR) do? How does the conversation between the org and the individual change? How shall roles change?

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 glorified help desk), but also people who are convinced that your program is the best in its market ("superfans" - there is a whole concept around this, but I don't want to go too far here). But now the question is: How do you build such a community? The guest in this episode is Heather Wendt, the community manager for Gain, Grow, Retain, and she has a lot of experience in customer success and community building. She also worked extensively in the learning field, which is another area to increase adoption in organizations In this episode of the podcast we are talking about: Heather’s background How “community” goes hand-in-hand with customer success Functions of communities - help, concepts, nerding out, learning/teaching Why should an organization stand up a community?

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 process execution you can use an automation tool (a "heavy" BPMS, RPA, etc.) or you can use a lightweight low-code/no-code tool for this that business units can use themselves to solve their automation needs. Our guest in this episode is Maximilian Neumaier, who is leading the Professional Services group at TIM Solutions and is implementing their low-code/no-code automation platform for over a decade now - starting as a working student and growing into his current leadership role.

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 is the data that we are talking about? Where do I store data and how is it transformed? Where do I ask for the data? In this episode of the What's Your Baseline Podcast we talk about: Conceptual / logical data modeling Canonical data models versus information asset views Application and data (from a logical perspective) - interface designs Data used in the context of processes Application diagrams and physical data models Data mapping in screen diagrams (wireframes) Screen navigation models for context Please reach out to us by either sending an email to hello@whatsyourbaseline.com or leaving us a voice message by clicking here .…

Ep. 61 - BPM and Process Lifecycle 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. 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. This hinders them being seen as valuable parts of the team that changes the larger organization, the IT landscape, the capabilities of the enterprise. And I have seen BPM orgs struggling because of that lack of acceptance by others. In this episode of the What's Your Baseline Podcast we talk about: Phases of a BPM / Transformation project Where Processes and BPM (as discipline) intersect Other considerations in Process projects Team to assemble Deliverables to expect Please reach out to us by either sending an email to hello@whatsyourbaseline.com or leaving us a voice message by clicking here .…

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, 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. Those micro-decisions made by many, many people in organizations that pile up and determine the ‘actual’ direction. Our guest this week is Shoeb Javed, the Chief Product Officer of iGrafx . He is a seasoned technology executive with broad experience in intelligent automation, process intelligence and enterprise software, and has a proven track record of leading product and technology teams that build amazing digital transformation solutions. Shoeb loves to collaborate with digital transformation leaders to deliver meaningful business outcomes, and is a philosopher, swimmer, and biker. In this episode of the podcast we are talking about: Shoeb’s background What is operational intelligence? Why is it important to businesses? What technologies are available today that help companies use operational intelligence to benefit their business? How do I implement operational intelligence in my organization? How should I measure the success of my operational intelligence efforts? As a Chief Product Officer, how do you approach this in your company’s technology? Can you tell us more about what iGrafx is doing in this area? You can reach Shoeb via email or LinkedIn , and also via the company website here: https://www.igrafx.com/ .

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 to cut it out unheard. The solution to the problem? Another What's Your Baseline Shorts! Enjoy the conversation and -sometimes creepy- outlook into the business of learning and enablement, and let us know what you think where the future will go. Have you or your organization already started on this track?…

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 and discuss this topic with three experts of the field, and the background of working/having worked in process organizations. Ron is the Director Global Learning at iGrafx, and an adept and insightful learning and development professional with a 20-year career leading training strategy and programs for a diverse set of global companies. He has a proven track record of building organizational development initiatives from inception to delivery—coaching large, complex teams through content assessment, design, and implementation. Peter is the co-founder of SKLLD.de, a company that is all about Empowered Employees, Delighted Users, and Captivated Customers by combining Customer Centricity (CX), Employee Centricity (EX), and User Centricity (UX) with the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI). His focus is on leadership development and team training, and he works as a coach, trainer, author, speaker, and podcaster. As a person, he is highly driven and motivated with more than 25 years of experience in the IT industry. He believes in leading by example with a clear focus on growing talent instead of just managing people. Adam is the other co-founder of SKLLD. For over a decade, he has helped visionary teams worldwide build highly innovative products and cultures focused on customer satisfaction. Adam's training sessions teach teams innovation methods, optimization strategies, and how to use AI to be 10x more efficient at work. The end result? Customer-centric products, cost savings after a few days of workshops, new revenue streams—and owning the future of your industry. When Adam is not obsessing about innovation and AI, you can find him shaping our future leaders - he teaches young people communication, creativity, AI skills, and empathy, so they can thrive in an AI-powered world. In this episode of the podcast we are talking about: Our guest's backgrounds Training/coaching/enablement (sender perspective) vs. learning (receiver perspective) What brings people to learn? Continuous learning as culture (and business benefits of it) Demands of reducing training/enablement time The influence of AI on learning and what to learn What to focus on in a corporate learning environment Implications for learning content creation How to measure the value of learning and enablement? All three can be found on Linked In: Ron Cohen , Peter Dern , Adam Egger .

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. These are all the topics that we are talking about in this episode of the What’s Your Baseline? podcast. Since this is a comprehensive (and long) episode, I have added timestamps to the different topics, so that you can find the snippets that are relevant for you after listening to the whole episode 🙂 Process Mining project approach High-level Process Mining Analysis Detailed Process Analysis Analysis Presentation The full show notes, including time stamps and graphics can be found at whatsyourbaseline.com/episode57 .
