In a matter of days or a week or two we are able to ask insightful, probing, and highly fruitful questions. It makes us sound quite knowledgeable. brsolutions.com/business-kno… #conceptmodel #InformationArchitect

Process models too big? Cover lots and lots of pages? Too many business rules embedded. Simplify, sharpen and innovate by externalizing those rules. brsolutions.com/business-ana… #requirements #businessanalysis #businessprocesseses #businessrules

"Business rules should never change to fit #requirements. If they do, that’s simply backwards. A change in a #businessrule often might mean different or additional requirements, but that’s an entirely different matter!" brcommunity.com/articles.php… @GladysLam #businessanalysis

Decision models - good at what they do, but fail to allow for unscripted, real-time insertion of the human element. Do you really think you can predict every circumstance and contingency in advance?! No chance! We need behavioral business rules and enforcement level.

We are all prisoners of our concepts. So maybe we should spend more time constructing them. #ConceptModels

From data perspective, a #ConceptModel is about unbundling business terms currently embedded in codes and revealing semantics needed for effective communication. But a concept model is its own thing, not a data model!

You might think business communication and data design have no connection. Wrong! The better you are at precise business communication, the better any data design you’ll produce. Fundamental insight for the Knowledge Age. #conceptmodel

I'm afraid a great many software people and other professionals who should know better think that solid business definitions just slow you down. Sure - slow you down getting to solution chaos!

Want to stop getting hung up in pointless ambiguity and misdirection? Sound communication depends on shared understanding of concepts and rules. #conceptmodel #businessrules

So much time nowadays is spent correcting inconsistent representations of what we know (think disintegrated data and poor data quality), there’s little time or energy left over for true creativity and innovation. Death spiral?!

Dear tech companies, Employees don't need ping pong tables or beer fridges at work. 🙅‍♂️🙅‍♀️ Employees need flexibility to do their best work and enjoy life. For instance, working remotely. 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Please offer trust, not toys. 🙌
