I have been “dealing” with a stunning social networking site. I say “dealing” in that it keeps “crapping out,” throwing off Java errors, stack errors, database write errors, net connection errors, etc. The site says, “Sorry… we are down” way too often. Sometimes, it just eats your post. Other times, it acts like a wayward [...]

Just so you know, my entire life does not revolve around humorous blog postings. As I have said before, I keep my deep research for the paying gentry. It only seems fair. To shed some light on that side of my life, here’s a heads-up on some work we just concluded. I just led a [...]

I know some really smart patent attorneys who would be willing to speak at one of our BPM conferences. They could speak on the legal aspects of business processes: murky patent rulings affecting processes, protecting process IP when dealing with BPO and other external providers, protecting your own process innovations, etc. This is not normally [...]

I’m a card-carrying fan of The Three Stooges. Yes, I’m male… so we know that my admiration is genetically-wired, but it’s still admiration. Late last night, when I couldn’t sleep, I watched some pristine new releases of classic Columbia Stooges shorts and couldn’t help but wonder: “What if The Three Stooges had been cast in [...]

How are you doing your cost cutting? Are you using a methodology? Does the idea of a methodology sound outlandish? Are you cutting like a surgeon or are you cutting wherever you see something – anything – that looks extraneous? A methodology would make a difference, wouldn’t it?
