Synopsis

A revolutionary way to describe business, xBML (extended Business Modelling Language) is an intuitive graphical language that unlocks the DNA of a corporation using a system of diagrams based on five Ws (Who; What; Which; Where; When). xBML gives companies an complete and accurate map of their enterprise, that can then be re-used repeatedly to describe, plan and create improvement.

It’s time to throw out the flow charts. xBML breaks down the silos of an enterprise and provides the means for clear, concise communication between all members of the organization. Tyler and Baker provide a complete guide to xBML, and to why unlocking an organization’s Business Genetics will lead to quantifiable business improvement.

From the Back Cover

This book will revolutionize the way you describe, plan and improve your business.

Developed over thirty years and proven in over 500 projects within major organizations, xBML is the world’s first scientific method for describing business. Using a system of diagrams based on an intuitive framework of five Ws (Who does What, with Which information, Where and When?), xBML gives companies a comprehensive view of their enterprise – one that depicts precisely the complex relationships between operations, information, resources and technology within a multi-dimensional model. In essence, it unlocks the genetic code of the organization. And, like a genetic code, this information can then be called upon repeatedly to describe, to plan and to improve.

It’s time to throw out the flow charts. The dream of accurately describing a business once, in terms that make sense to everyone, and then re-using this information time and again is at last a reality. xBML bridges the enterprise divide, providing the means for clear, concise communication between all members of an organization. Major companies have already saved over $2 billion using the approach, and thousands of individuals have been trained in the methodology. Read this book, and discover why unlocking your organization’s Business Genetics will lead to quantifiable business improvement.
