Cultural identity of business through BPM

There are many languages in the world: hundredths and, perhaps, thousands with dialects. Is it convenient? No. It would have been much simpler, if everybody speak, e.g. English (or Chinese, or whatever other language around). Would you like to abandon English and further speak only another language, just for the sake of uniformity and common understanding? Is it possible at all? No. Because language bears not only utilitarian communication capacity but a fundamental cultural identity, which cannot be abandoned without literal destruction of personality. Multilingual world is a cornerstone for cultural pluralism, creative evolution and even existence of the humankind.

Similar situation is also with technical languages in general and business languages in particular. Fundamental diversity of technical and business vocabulary is one of primary driving forces behind creative evolution of modern technology. Abundance of languages appears not due to a whim or ignorance of their authors on existing languages but expresses a fundamental novelty and unique vision discovered in a new technical domain. It is always important to see real business behind the language and not formal abstracts of the language itself. Business language is suitable when it helps to run the business and irrelevant in all other situations.

Business management and enterprise architecture cover so wide area of collective behavior and technology that they principally cannot exist in a monolingual unified environment. Most of leading BPM and EA tools support dozens and even hundredths of modeling languages. This diversity is not an exaggeration but a reality, which manifests the fundamental scope of various technical domains. One of fundamental benefits of a technical language in this situation becomes not a universal vocabulary but adaptive capabilities, which allow following quick changes in its subject domain.

In this reality of rapidly growing technical and linguistic diversity especially important become tools ensuring automatic translation of versatile business notations and methodologies. Harmony and peaceful coexistence of adjacent business cultures becomes an imperative of success for global business players. Effective bridging of diverse business methodologies is amplified with growing maturity of process translation technologies based on deep semantic exploration of enterprise business models.

Agile Processes and Customer Experience

Despite all fashionable favor, agile processes are a disaster in terms of customer outcomes . Imagine that you ordered a fridge but received a dishwasher instead. It is unlikely that you will be happy on this sort of creative agility. Customer process must be as precise and reliable as a Swiss clock. It is another story that customers always do their best to break this clock's precision in every possible and impossible manner: change their mind ten times a day, disappear at the moment of delivery, break supplied goods and claim a refund etc. And yet, customers highly appreciate flexibility of a company in response to their instant whims. We must not confuse agility of customers with precision of the company in response to agile client demands. Company can achieve accuracy and flexibility in serving clients only through rigorous process approach with detailed mapping of all possible client scenarios. Naturally, this detailed work-through may yield dozens and even hundredths of co
