🔑 Key Takeaways from the Episode:
1. Bad Habits & BPM: Russell kicks off with a personal story about bad habits and health goals – a metaphor for how organizations drift into process chaos. It’s not about the wrong tool or method but the erosion of good habits over time.
2. Guest Spotlight – Roland Woldt: Roland shares his journey from the German army to becoming a BPM thought leader and author. His new book “Successful Architecture Implementation” bridges theory and practice with a focus on content, governance, and adoption.
3. Practical BPM Advice: The trio explores how organizations often ignore adoption and governance when implementing architecture tools. Roland stresses the need for tangible strategies, stakeholder communication, and long-term enablement.
4. Process Ownership & End-to-End Thinking: A key discussion around the balance between functional decomposition and end-to-end processes. Alignment across departments is crucial to eliminate siloed thinking and improve real-world outcomes.
5. Architecture Is One Discipline: Roland argues that EA, BPM, process mining, and data management are all just different lenses on the same organizational architecture. The goal? Visibility, analysis, execution.
6. Tool Adoption ≠ Success: Buying a shiny new tool doesn’t guarantee results. Without strategic thinking, governance frameworks, and user adoption, tools gather dust.
7. Realistic Training & Support: A 3-day crash course won’t create a BPM organization. Adoption requires ongoing training, role development, and organizational maturity – it’s a journey, not a one-off.
🎁 Bonus: Roland is giving away early PDFs and signed copies of the book! The paperback drops March 24 – check out whatsyourbaseline.com/successful-architecture-implementation for extras, downloads, and pre-orders.
Final Word: Buy the damn book. It’ll make you better.
