Consulting and Workshops: Process – Application – Data

With 30 years of experience, and more than 25 years as a consultant, Alec has deep expertise in a rare combination of fields:

• business process identification, modeling, analysis, and redesign
• application requirements specification
• data modeling and information management

Supporting these are his ability to help organizations clarify their strategy, goals, and objectives.

His hands-on consulting experience, practical approaches, expert facilitation, and global reputation in model-driven methods have made him a sought-after resource in fields as diverse as manufacturing, hospitality, retail, telecommunications, insurance, transportation, justice, health care, IT service management, and others.

Consulting assignments include enterprise-wide process redesign, integrating business process redesign with application development and data management initiatives, and applying model-driven techniques (e.g., workflow modeling, use cases, and data modeling) to new development and the implementation of purchased applications. Typical engagements include:

• Assisting a national justice system in the redesign of their core cross-organizational processes and the development of a centralized information-sharing facility.
• Developing a method that enabled a manufacturer to adapt a new inventory management system to the needs of worldwide sites with minimum configuration effort and disruption
• Helping a leading Health Maintenance Organization see why their major reengineering project was stalled, and take corrective action that refocused them on their core values

A top-rated conference speaker, Alec mixes practical content and insight with irreverence and humour. Popular presentations include "Have Objects Gone to the Dogs?," "The Lost Art of Conceptual Modeling," "The Human Side of Data Modeling," "From Process Model to IT Requirements – Crossing the Chasm," and "Getting Traction for ‘Process’."

Alec literally wrote the book on business process modeling – he is the principal author of "Workflow Modeling: Tools for Process Improvement and Application Development." It has consistently been the top-selling title on business process modeling, and is widely used as an MBA textbook.

His popular workshops on Workflow Process Modeling, Data Modeling (introductory and advanced,) and Requirements Modeling (with Use Cases and Services) are conducted at many of the world’s best-known organizations. His classes are practical, energetic, and fun, with the most common participant comments being "best course (or best instructor) I’ve ever had" and "I loved the real-life examples."
