Systems of coordination and the need to move beyond BPMN: a report
I recently met Neil Ward-Dutton of mwd advisors at bpmNEXT and we chatted about decision modeling – I was there giving a demo of DecisionsFirst Modeler and its support for the new Decision Model and Notation standard. Neil pointed me to his recent report CMMN and DMN: new notations for systems of co-ordination – what are they and what should you do?

SV Forum BI SIG Event: Decisions First: How to stop wasting money on Big Data
I am speaking at the SV Forum Business Intelligence SIG on Decisions First: How to stop wasting money on Big Data – April 15 at 6:30pm at SAP’s Palo Alto location.

ManMachine – The Computer Human Synergy for Organizations
TARGIT CEO, @MortonSandlykke has a very topical post today, ‘Turning Emotion-based Decisions into Fact-based Decisions’. Morton’s basic premise is that while information availability might have been a bottleneck for better decision-making in the past, that is not the case today. Today the human is the bottleneck in the decision-making process. We have been programmed to act on […]
