Having the “Oracle of BPM” on the show? Yes, please.
Even though our guest, Zbigniew Misiak, denies that, the role he is playing is an important one for our little industry. He is one of the few who bring together the different ideas and trends that are hot every year. We were genuinely interested in speaking with him about what he learned over the years and where he sees the ship sailing. And on top of it, he turned around the roles and interviewed us for parts of the show …
Zbigniew is a BPM consultant at the BOC Group, where he also takes care of the community of their free Business Process Analysis tool (the “Community Edition”). As a part of his job, he is also working with other BPM vendors in BPMN Model Interchange Working Group. You can learn more about that effort in the “Making BPMN a true lingua franca” article on BPTrends.
Zbigniew has the privilege of working with a team of great BPM experts creating a new version of the OMG Certified Expert in BPM exam and participating in BPMN, CMMN and DMN task forces. From time to time, he also runs BPM courses at various universities in Poland. I also offer courses on Udemy such as BPMN for business analysts.
And since he doesn't have other things to do in his spare time, he is also currently co-authoring a book about BPM, which will come out later this year.
In this episode of the podcast, we are talking about:
- Zbigniew's background
- The history of the BPM Skills questionnaire since 2016
- Some topics from this year's version
- The “state of BPM” — trends and patterns
- Involvement of people and staging of ideas
- The example of a logistics company / InPost (also in the “additional information” section)
You can find Zbigniew's blog at bpmtips.com and reach him from there.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
