Ep. 42 - Structure Your Business Architecture
3/20/2023
I see a lot of separated efforts in organization, and model processes. Aren't these all connected activities that should be coordinated to create a *gulp* architecture that carries the load?
But what is a "Business Architecture" and how is it different from just an assembly of processes? Are these terms synonyms or is there more to a Business Architecture than that?

Ep. 41 - Organizational Change Management: Jehane Adam
3/6/2023
If you have listened to a couple of podcast episodes you know that we are true believers in that the biggest "problem" in any architecture, BPM, or Process Mining project is not the technology or the processes and other architecture views - it is the people!
Getting people along with your change is the hardest thing to do and therefore we are happy to revisit the topic of Organizational Change Management on a semi-regular basis.
Jehane has worked as a Change Management and Business...

Ep. 40 - Strategy to Execution: Dan Marquez
2/20/2023
Developing a strategy for your organization seems like a mystery for a lot of people (and some organizations make a large coin from keeping that mystery), but in all reality it has a big part of “wild guesses” included. In this episode of the What’s Your Baseline Podcast we have Dan Marquez on the show, who knows a thing or two about this topic from his time at Accenture, Boston Consulting Group, or Google.
Dan is a passionate and eminently capable digital transformation professional, and...

Ep. 39 - Lean and Process Mining: Sebastian Kotulla
2/6/2023
A lot of people think that the work is done when they have a process be visualized in their process mining tool and a nice dashboard is built. Nothing could be further from the truth and our guest today, Sebastian Kotulla, talks with us about why that is. To bridge the gap between visualizing data/information to knowledge as the result of the analysis Lean techniques can be applied.
Sebastian has a strong focus on and passion for digital solutions to support business transformation such as...

WYB Shorts 9 - A Holiday Special With Jeremy Voltz
12/22/2022
Today we have a special What's Your Baseline Shorts episode for you, that has nothing to do with Enterprise Architecture or Business Process Management.
However, we think that you will like it: our guest today is Jeremy Voltz, an indie-soul musician from Toronto, Ontario, who is gracefully letting us use his music for all intros, outros, and intermissions. In this episode we are talking with him about:

Ep. 36 - Lean and Six Sigma: Ron Baker
12/12/2022
There was a lot of buzz around Lean and Six Sigma back in the 80s and 90s, but not today anymore.
However, the practice is not dead and it is still relevant and used in many industries today. And there are good reasons to take a step back and have another look at why it was so successful and what of the practice still creates value and should be included in your process improvement and process excellence initiatives.
Today's guest on the What's Your Baseline Podcast is Ron Baker. He is an...

Ep. 34 - Process Automation: Bernd Rücker
11/14/2022
Being the reasonable adult seems to be the parallel topic of this week's episode - even though the main topic is process automation. We were just so excited in our conversation that we got carried away
In this episode of the What's Your Baseline podcast we speak with Bernd Rücker. He is a software developer at heart who has been innovating process automation deployed in highly scalable and agile environments of industry leaders such as T-Mobile, Lufthansa, ING, and Atlassian. Bernd...

WYB Shorts 8 - More process mining use cases
11/7/2022
A few weeks ago (in Episode 30) we spoke about how to select your process mining tool. 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:

Ep. 33 - How to inspire people for process: Mirko Kloppenburg
10/31/2022
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 his own company and project "New Process Lab" a few months ago after 20+ successful years at Lufthansa Group.
To start the New Process Lab, he linked the often fuzzy New Work...

Ep. 32 - Women in Process: Josèphe Blondaut and Gabriela Galic
10/19/2022
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 diversity and pick the brain pool of intelligent female professionals. In this episode of the What’s Your Baseline podcast we speak with two women who have taken things into their own hands and started...

Ep. 31 - Security Architecture: Rick Smith
10/3/2022
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, now that we outgrow the industrial age and move into the information age. In this episode of the What's Your Baseline Podcast we are talking with Rick Smith about Security...

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 in the full show notes on whatsyourbaseline.com/episode30).

• What are process mining tools and how they are different than other tools (BI tools, modeling tools) and how can they work together
• Features to look at when choosing a process mining tool

Ep. 29 - Open Source: Avi Ghosh
9/5/2022
It is interesting to see how a "fringe idea" 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 engine?).
But another aspect that still has to gain traction of the Open Source movement is the cultural aspect. How do you develop a SW that is used by billions of people in an all volunteer organization?
The key ingredient...

Ep. 28 - Quality Engineering: Wings Liang
8/22/2022
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 organizations pave the road to the future by building high-performance teams, aligning organizational structure, shifting colleague...

Ep. 26 - Communicating the value of architecture: Laurie Kelly
7/25/2022
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 how to communicate the value of architecture in today's episode of the What's Your Baseline Podcast.
Laurie is the Global Director for Demand Generation at Ardoq, an Enterprise...
