Successful Architecture Implementation

Roland Woldt · whatsyourbaseline.com · 2025

Most EA initiatives fail not because of the framework or the tool — but because no one built the organizational capability to sustain them. This book gives you a proven methodology for implementing an EA or BPM program that actually delivers: from securing sponsorship and defining governance through tooling, team design, and measuring outcomes.

Written for architects, transformation leads, and the executives who sponsor them. Practical, direct, and based on 50+ real implementations — not vendor documentation.

Successful Process Mining Projects

Roland Woldt · whatsyourbaseline.com · 2025

Based on real projects at organizations including the World Bank, Google, Fannie Mae, and TD Bank.

For data analysts, process owners, BPM practitioners, and anyone responsible for getting more value out of process mining than just a pretty map.
