Written by Cedric Tyler, lead author of the xBMLTM language, this book challenges and confronts mainstream thinking and theories, and introduces a revolutionary, unique approach to foundationally rethinking the manner in which we describe, plan and improve business. The book explores the issues inherent in existing tools and techniques, how and why they have yielded minimal results, and why business modeling is a science, not an art. A revolutionary approach to business modeling is then presented, xBML, which is the world’s first and only scientific method for describing business. Developed over a 30 year period and proven in more than 500 business modeling projects within the Fortune 500 and Federal Government, xBML enables companies to gain an exact, comprehensive view of their business – one that depicts the precise, complex relationship between operations, information, resources, and technology within a multi-dimensional business model. xBML, in essence uncovers the very DNA of business, and unleashes a new world of possibility.
