To Speaker's Bio

Tutorial Outline

What would a business process that enabled working smarter look like? What new business opportunities would a real solution create? The answer lies in the Intelligent Process, a powerful marriage of techniques for organizing business logic with those for organizing business process.

The first step in understanding Intelligent Process is simply to recognize the fundamental difference between business logic and business process, and to see how they can be treated as separate-but-equal concerns. This produces significant benefits in terms of adaptability, consistency, and re-usability.

The second step is to understand how business rules should be captured in the context of business process models through the use of patterns and template questions.

The final step arises as the components of business process and business logic are interwoven by execution-time architectures. With the right mix of techniques, tools and vision, breakthrough business opportunities are now within reach of every company.

  • Re-engineering business policies and their motivation
  • Enterprise business logic management
  • Pattern questions for business rule capture
  • The how-to of real-time compliance, customization, and near-zero latency
  • The anatomy of the Intelligent Process

Organizations today often struggle moving forward with process improvement when it involves some type of technology support. Quite often, the issues related to effectively capturing and efficiently documenting functional requirements plague a project’s progress and potential success later during its transition phase. It is essential that everything possible is done to ensure that rework and redundancies do not occur during this phase of process improvement implementation.

  • Bridging the gap between business and technology
  • Considerations for being ready to move forward from the business process perspective to the technical perspective
  • Knowing where to start looking for functional requirements
  • The importance of understanding and documenting business rules for processes
  • What a functional specification should contain

Tutorial Outline

This tutorial will describe a reliable approach for process architecture and process modeling development – achieving a balance between effectively enabling business changes, yet still maintaining technical efficiency and control. It will also introduce advanced techniques for identifying and supporting the essential dynamics of processes and their interactions and modeling how the business truly operates rather than the silo-oriented functional breakdown inherent in most project-by-project implementations.

The workshop will incorporate a comprehensive discussion of the importance of and relationships among the emerging stack of BPM related standards (BPMN, UML, BPDM, XPDL, BPeL, ebXML, wf-XML) highlighting their relevance in service oriented architectures (SOA) and modern BPMS implementations.

  • BPM initiative risks and pitfalls
  • Guidelines for project success
  • Process architecture options
  • The state of the art in modeling standards
  • Anticipated standards directions
  • SOA and BPMS implementation options
