    Ep. 86 - Successful Architecture Implementation (Roland wrote a book)

    We are trying something new here at What's Your Baseline? — J-M turns his focus on investigative journalism and starts asking the “hard questions” (and not just the softballs that I get from him at other times) :-)But in all seriousness — this episode of the podcast is a conversation between the two of us, while I play the guest role and did not cheat and did not look into our Notion outline while recording.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?Self-publishing versus an established publisherWhat is the book about? Who is it meant for?What is next for the book, the next thing, and What's Your Baseline?

  2. Ep. 85 - OKRs: Ben Lamorte

    Ep. 85 - OKRs: Ben Lamorte

    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.

    Ep. 84 - Unleashed Enterprise Architecture: Leslie Robinet

    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 thepodcast, we are talking about: Leslie's backgroundLimiting EA vs. unlimited EA — where to start and what to accomplishDecision-making, people, perspective to plan and adapt to change: global approach to Enterprise ArchitectureHow to approach the use cases — how can EA help solve the problems?Use models and modeling to represent the complex reality in a simplified wayThe Digital Twin concept.You can find Leslie onLinkedIn and reach out to her company to get in contact.

    Ep. 83 - Process Community: Hanneke Loefs-Mos

    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

    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.
