Process Reuse – do we understand what it really means?

Reuse is a key enabler for improving business efficiency. It’s a global market – we can’t afford to do things differently in every country and for every product, but at the same time we want flexibility and innovation… and we don’t want to keep paying to have new processes and IT systems developed.

The fig leaf risk management gets under scrutiny due to the financial crisis

Happy new year Risk Management! Unfortunately for that the old Chinese saying "May you live in interesting times!" comes true in 2010. We already noticed a lot less pressure on the GRC market than on other segments during 2009 what satisfyingly lead to positive results for that solution. But obviously not only compliance topics that are demanded by regulators are still seen as business critical...

How should the created key principles and models be structured? So that they can be efficiently communicated to support better...

TechCrunch is currently reporting that the social network site BeautifulPeople.com has kicked out 5.000 members, because they gained too much weight over Christmas . That got me thinking if we should also kick out ARIS Community members if we notice they make a syntactical mistake while modelling a process model?!
