Ep. 78 - EA Use Cases

Nov 03 2024 55 mins

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

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

Oct 20 2024 54 mins

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 c

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

Oct 06 2024 62 mins

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 since he has been on the show alread

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

Sep 22 2024 51 mins

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,

Ep. 74 - Process Mining Readiness: Olaf Geyer

Sep 08 2024 42 mins

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

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

Aug 25 2024 51 mins

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-performance teams and the lea

Season 7 Trailer

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, just as in all of the last seas

Ep. 72 - The Retirement Challenge: Peggy McCann

Jul 09 2024 55 mins

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,

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

Jun 16 2024 60 mins

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 on the market, that might be even

Ep. 70 - BPM Use Cases

Jun 02 2024 70 mins

"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). In this episode of the
