How storytelling can improve your process modeling
Hi Reader,
Storytelling - I don't know what you associate with this method, but I've read a lot about it on LinkedIn. I've always wondered how to leverage that even more for BPM. And now I know how! Storytelling can definitely be combined with my love for the art of process modeling! ☝🏻
How:
- By telling one story after another in the process model, with a clear start, middle, and end, it can help different stakeholders to understand the process.
- With a narrative, it guides stakeholders step-by-step through the process, making it more relatable and engaging.
- Storytelling in process modeling can also help in identifying potential areas of improvement. By telling the story, we can identify any gaps or bottlenecks in the process that may not be immediately obvious.
In the last episode of the New Process Podcast I talked to Kevin Tan about “Process-bility” - a concept to make process modeling more understandable for everyone (which is one of the New Process principles).
The three core elements of “Process-bility” are
→ Storytelling
→ Visual balance
→ Simplicity
I don't know how many process modelers I've trained over the last 20 years, but I wish I'd known about the concept of “Process-bility” earlier. 🙃
Listen to the latest episode of the New Process Podcast where Kevin explains these three principles.

To better illustrate visual balance, Kevin and I then made a video - you can watch it here.
Thank you for reading 🚀
Have a great day!

Hi Reader, Can you remember the last time you started a new project, turned a bright idea into reality or maybe even started your own business? If you're nodding yes, then you know the thrill of starting something new - and the mountain of to-do's that comes with it. One of the greatest challenges I've faced is the art of starting simple and progressing incrementally - the philosophy of the Minimum Viable Product (MVP). It still happens to me today that in my burst of motivation I want to do...
Hi Reader, Can you believe it's already November? Time does fly! 😳 I'd like to ask for a small favor that could make a big difference: As in the past two years, I've put together a brief survey to identify the BPM topics of 2024, and I'd love for you to participate.Because our community is such an important part of this journey, it is only logical that I collect your current thoughts and concerns:→ to get a better understanding of what BPM topics are important to you.→ to tailor the content...
Hi Reader, Expanding on the last newsletter, I'd like to stress the importance of interacting with other BPM enthusiasts. It's easy to recognize when someone is genuinely enthusiastic and deeply interested in a subject. In my opinion, this enthusiasm is what really drives us forward, especially in the research world. 🚀 Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of having meaningful conversations with a lot of passionate people. These discussions not only lead to fresh ideas and inspiration...
