What Is Truth to Power?

[+] A research and advisory resource...

dedicated to bridging the gaps between governance and practice, technology and business, regulation and control, risk management and real market pressures, and your own knowledge and the knowledge of your peers.

[+] An open forum and community...

built to create a common pool of knowledge—one big brain—that lets you work more efficiently, build technology and business practices more effectively, and endure audits more effortlessly.

[+] A plexus nexus...

a neutral hub through which you can reach many valuable information nodes, resource collections, and organizations that are helping people like you already, but in fractured ways.

[+] A rebellion...

against the idea that auditors, analysts, and consultancies can control information simply through their ability to collect and distill it. T2P's goal is to unlock the vast body of knowledge, insight, and conventional wisdom that we all have, make it freely available to you, and help you digest and interpret it—without undue cost, bias, or hype.

Term Definition
Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN

BPMN is a standard for graphically defining abstraction layers that specify business processes.

Purpose

BPMN is designed to bridge the semantic gap between business users and developers, which is a critical requirement for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) initatives. Some BPMN tools generate Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) code, and efforts are under way to generate executable code in other languages, which some believe will make BPEL obsolete.

Governance and Risk Management Implications

BPMN is facilitates Business Process Management (BPM), a critical component of effective business governance and risk management

  • Business processes help organizations focus their efforts on serving their customers, which helps reduce risks and optimize resource utilization consistent with meeting customer requirements.
  • Business processes provide an abstraction layer for managing data, content and behavior, which reduces management challenges.
