Ideas worth testing in the open.
Long-form thinking on enterprise architecture, technology, platforms and change — starting with a five-part exploration of process portability in modern BPM and case-management platforms.
The Portable Process
Can organisations capture the automation, control and community-driven value of proprietary accelerators while preserving enough of the business capability they create to move somewhere else later?
When the accelerator becomes the anchor
Why the value of BPM and case-management platforms extends beyond speed — and what happens when automation, controls and process knowledge become difficult to separate from the platform.
Who Owns the Delta?
Where does organisational process IP begin and end when platforms, industry frameworks, partner accelerators, communities and AI all contribute to the result?
Portability by Design
What would architecture governance, procurement and delivery need to change if process knowledge, controls and auditability were treated as assets worth preserving?
Could We Actually Move It?
A practical test of vendor-neutral representation, semantic translation and the business, control and audit criteria that would define a successful migration.
The Human Layer
Why skills, vendor communities, shared problem-solving and organisational learning are as important to portability as process models and code.
