Thank you, your observation was very helpful. I believe standard processes should be the rule and the rule book the exception. I am not saying rules are not important, but leadership by rule is prone to resistance. I can imagine management up in the the “war-room” reviewing patterns while the transactions are happening out in the field. To transform, get out in the field, control business process not patterns, speak the language, and measure.

Not sure I follow the question 100% but in general I find enterprises have a mix – they have some custom, one-off process designs and some that are variations on industry “frameworks” and some that are pretty darned vanilla. Similarly some of the rules they need in their decisions are common to everyone (regulatory rules, for instance) while others are their secret sauce/internal policies. One of the interesting observations I would make is that an effective decisioning strategy can dramatically reduce the need for custom processes, allowing organizations to inject custom decision making into standard processes.

Is it IT’s social media guidelines that prevents them from joining in on the discussion? Aren’t they the ones creating the mess anyway?

You know, anyone can answer my question. Even if your a vendor, G-D forbid.

In your model does every enterprise have one-off definitions and process maps? Or do they choose a vendor and then drink the kool-aide?
