What's Your Baseline?

Last week we spoke about the reasons why you should use dashboards (take action!) and how you should structure them. This week we take a closer look at what you should do on the dashboard itself—what to think about when designing the actual widgets that display your content. What are your experiences and best practices/tips for aspiring dashboard designers? Leave them in the comments below. Part 2 of our mini-series about good dashboard design is not live over at our Substack at https://lnkd.in/eQKSeBu5. #dashboards #businessprocessmanagement #enterpisearchitecture #processmining Monika Leitner Montserrat Salvador Kevin Karsay Kevin Tan Alan Hansen Mitchell Starkey Chidinma Nwachukwu, CBAP® Ludger Schönfeld Dr. Lukas Pfahlsberger Clara Buyny Jan Mendling Jan vom Brocke Dr. Volker Stiehl Lara Hill Lara Meyers Sven Solterbeck

By now the novelty of #AI has worn off. And just like with other technologies, just a few people use it on a bigger scale (almost everyone can read, but why are just a few writing books?). And even then we make the same mistakes over and over—implementing technology without thinking about the underlying foundation … the process. And, like in the past, we miss out on the opportunity to create something new and better. This is something that our current guest, Dr. Volker Stiehl, wants to change with his “Progressive BPM” approach.

So many of my friends are at the #AAPM All about Process Management conference, and I wish them well! Looking forward to many videos from Roland and the What's Your Baseline? crew - keep your eyes peeled for that! It's got me thinking back to the wonderful time I had at the SAP Transformation Excellence Tour Osaka, and some of the great interviews I did there, including with Taro Sano, who had real insight into the challenges facing their customers for SAP Signavio SAP LeanIX - in particular, that organizations tended to have a strong IT team, with deep background in understanding IT challenges... but the bench wasn't so deep on the business side. Bringing EA and BPM together - now that's a real goal! Watch along on the What's Your Baseline? YouTube! https://lnkd.in/g6Wa8Kkh

Hey, we have some ideas for a later episode in this season of our podcast. And we want your input. What did you ever want to know about us, about your favorite hosts, WYB as a company, the expert network, our offerings, the books, the webinars, J-M's TL;DRs, BPM OS, presentations and trainings elsewhere, etc. etc. You get the point. And we love to give you answers! Please send us an email (hello@whatsyourbaseline.com), DM Roland or J-M, or leave a comment. And if you're super brave, record a brief voice message (as an MP3) and send it to us so that we can play it in the episode.

We are living in “interesting times” and things feel to move faster than ever—it definitely is in the IT/AI space. But what does that mean for us process professionals? Well, our guest in this week's episode—Dr. Volker Stiehl—has some ideas about that and we spoke with him about how "process" can be THE missing element in creating new value and products in the future. Episode 119, “Progressive BPM,” is available wherever you get your podcasts now! #progressivebpm #businessprocessmanagement #processmining J-M Erlendson Julia Kupke Najah El-Gharib Blanca Bastos Christof Layher Nela Ferreira Francesca Di Meglio Ludger Schönfeld Fabian Kuster Fabian Moosmann Fabian Ludacka Fabian Erbach Kamila Ludwiszewska Urszula Tokarska Anna Alechno Anna Sorbet Zbigniew Misiak Caspar Jans Markus Linden Jan Mendling Claus Hüsselmann Sarah Jungkunz Matúš Mala

How often have you seen that someone (a consultant?) put together a screen full of widgets and told you that this is all you need to manage your business? And you were lost in all the shiny things and didn't know where to look, let alone what to do with it? This is the equivalent of the “slide docs” that we have seen in business for decades now. Instead of using visualizations to support the main character (you!) in a presentation, we see a dump of information and let the viewer figure out things. And that is the same with dashboards (minus the speaker and the important voice-over that might give some sense to the gobbledygook that you see on the screen). In this week's Substack Roland is looking at what it takes to create a good dashboard. This first part (of two) discusses the position that dashboards have (compared to other communication like presentations or reports), the setup that you should have—the most critical question if for whom the dashboard is. And then we look at the structure and story that your dashboards shall tell.

BPM isn't just about process maps. Join J-M and Roger Tregear for a provocative look at the 7Enablers of BPM, and why great process improvement can still fail when the organizational pieces aren't in place. But it doesn't have to. Seven elements. One system. One catalyst: you. October 20, 2026 8 AM PT | 11 AM ET | 5 PM CEST The 7Enablers of BPM #BPM #BusinessProcessManagement

One thing that has become clear is that we need to change how we do things. And no, I am not (only) talking about using AI for process automation, but moreover I am speaking about the thinking behind the use of “process” for more than just optimization. — How do you apply “process” (what you currently do, what you should do, and what new things you can do) to new products? — How do you expand the perspective and objectives of your process group? — How do you, to be very blunt, make money in the future? These are all questions that we discussed with Dr. Volker Stiehl in our current episode of our podcast.
