Brian,
Loved the subtle sarcasm as I followed the conversation. Thanks for the bright spot in the stream.

Re: Ent. 2.0, we’d all do well, also, to check (back) into socio-technical systems theory and design principles.

I have worked with Galileos Apollo Operations and was not really very impressed with the systems capabilities but have now moved on and working with a Travel Agency now and have started working on Amadeus and Worldspan, a lot of people feel that Amadeus is the best tool for booking probably bcoz of its select and click feature and its better availability ;-} but i feel better working on Worldspan and after starting to learn sabre, feel Worldspan is great!!!

[...] Process Mapping is generally seen as a laborious exercise in workflow mapping that is supposed to add value by helping improve business processes. Once the As-Is model has been mapped with sufficient and just enough detail, the analysts are supposed to find ‘obvious’ areas for improvement and can then triumphantly arrive at an obviously improved To-Be process model.

Comment on Dirty Little Secret of Business Rules? by Gagan

Lisa, the ideal business rules engine should not rely on underlying technology. It should not require business users to know technology implementation details – only how to use it. Sounds like your perfect world…
James – great point re the cockpit. The business rules engine is intended to have all the knobs and levers for the business user to influence and direct the system. You change the rules ‘on the fly’ based on what the dials are telling you. Repeat.
Madhu – you bring out the bigger dilemma facing businesses. They hired IT to design, build and operate the system – while business was supposed to be out there ‘bringing in the money’. Before anyone fully realized it, the business became the system and the system became the business. Now, we need tech-savvy business people and business-savvy tech people…both in short supply. Did you say “investment”? It certainly is..in more ways than one.

Great Article about the importance of business rules in an ever changing IT world. What would be interesting is, to see how can the business domain experts adapt to the ever increasing demand and the constant change in technology……It is important for companies to invest in these resources but the question is do the companies realize it? —

Thanks for the shout out. Now you are on to another of my favorite topics - the need to replace "dashboards" with real cockpits. The difference? Knobs and buttons that change the behavior of your business. Without them a dashboard is just a set of dials and gauges. Interesting, but not enough to help people drive.

Interesting concept and simply basic. Like driving a car…I don’t want to know how to build it. Now how can we reconcile ever-changing business climates, objectives and economic conditions with technologies that change as quickly as we can write business requirements? Is it a vicious cycle? Not if (as you say) we have the right “business domain experts” in place with the tools to guide IT in building this year’s Model T according to spec. Companies need to invest in these resources that think and plan, and not expect a manual to do the trick…
