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...

Ep. 25 - (Another) Ten Things I've Learned
6/27/2022
We made it - 25 long form episodes of the podcast (and 7 "Shorts" as well).
By popular demand - and because our statistics shows it - we are having "(Another) Ten Things I've Learned" episode. This time we are talking about three major areas:
How to measure your architecture and improvement programs
1. Architecture / BPM is not about the topics at hand (apps, processes, etc.) it is about people and how people interact with each other
2. When measuring architecture, make things SMART
3....

WYB Shorts 7 - Process empathy
6/20/2022
People.
For better or worse a lot of the topics in EA and BPM center around people. These are the reasons why we do things (customers who pay for our goods and services), who does the work (employees and partners), or why processes and architectures even exist in the first place.
In this What's Your Baseline Shorts, we are talking about process empathy:

Ep. 24 - Task Mining & RPA: Kevin Scully and Ziv Ilan
6/13/2022
Task Mining and RPA are things that are often overlooked when looking at Process Mining. This can leave a big hole in the discovered process and therefore create an incomplete analysis result.
In today's podcast we are speaking with Kevin Scully and Ziv Ilan from Nintex Kryon about Task Mining, what results you can expect from it, and how those can be used to automate processes using Robotics Task Automation.
Kevin has 35+ years' experience leading and supporting GTM strategy for SMB...

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...

Ep. 23 - How to create a business case
5/30/2022
Welcome to another episode of our podcast. Today's topic is about creating a formal business case as part of the change process.
Creating a business case document can be a challenge for someone who has not done that before, and one might think that this is a single-person activity. Nothing could be further from the truth - in our experience, a good business case document is the result of collaboration between multiple people in your organization (and vendors) that happens in multiple...

Our topic this week touches on subjects that may be sensitive to our listeners, particularly around individual evaluation and potential. The research,...

WYB Shorts 4 - What makes a good POC/POV?
5/9/2022
One part of the buying process is a POC/POV (Proof of Concept/Proof of Value). If done right, those require a significant effort from both parties - buyers and sellers - so you want to make the best out of this situation and not waste everybody's time.

Ep. 21 - Consulting in Process Mining: Jakub Dvořák
5/2/2022
The topic "Process" seems to have a renaissance these days.

Ep. 19 - Interacting with analysts: Amardeep Modi
4/4/2022
Analysts are the mystical wizards of the tech industry. Their reports and analysis results shape markets and sometimes also the fates of organizations that play in that market. Therefore, many organizations want to control access to analysts and a lot of questions are unanswered, leaving behind confused people.
But we are here to change this, by having Amardeep Modi, an experienced analyst on the show who is giving us a "look behind the scenes" of the analyst business.
Amar is a Vice...

Welcome to What’s Your Baseline “Shorts”!

But most importantly, these "Shorts" are brief focused discussions about a key topic in architecture, process, business, change and much more - just enough for you to “get the gist of it”.
And don’t worry - we’ll...

Ep. 18 - Working with recruiters: Jason Jovanis
3/21/2022
Another episode of the podcast, and we are having a very interesting and entertaining conversation with Jason Jovanis about working with recruiters - either as a candidate, or as an organization who is looking for new talent.
Jason came to his job after 20+ years as a sales leader, who in 2018 had the crazy idea to quit the VP of Sales job and start a recruiting business.
He knows what it's like to need to hire people (lots of people). He's wasted his own time and frustrated others by...
