A few industrial film experiences
After a couple of industrials for IBM and
Carquest... Keith doubts his memory.
Well, to be honest, they were lengthy scripts
with a lot of language specific to the world they addressed and I had a hard
time memorizing them. The IBM shoot was 11 pages without teleprompter and what
follows is an example:
We used the
same tooling to create a claims measurement model. We easily defined our
measurements and alerts, tying them to the design points of the process model.
We had great
flexibility in what we chose to measure. In fact, we added one KPI after the
process was already running in production -- without having to redeploy the
system. And
when we were done designing, we exported the process model to IT as a Business
Process Execution Language – or BPEL -- model.
IT then used
more BPM tooling to wire together services from several sources, and convert the
business rule elements into flexible decision tables -- transforming the entire
model into a running, composite application. Now I can redirect the flow of
claims to our Innovative Insurance adjusters, and between high-touch and express
routes on the fly without having to re-engage
IT.
Needless to say this was not an
easy task. It always goes back to a lesson I learned on Gods and Generals. In
that film I had a rather lengthy monologue that was ultimately cut out of the
film. It was the piece that won me the role and involved leading soldiers
through a drill for the first time. They would count off, then based on whether
they said one or two, would split and turn left or right, then take a step
forward or back. I was having some trouble learning the lines because I did not
understand the drill itself. In other words, I could not visualize it. By
being able to understand terminology and to visualize what you are talking
about, it makes it possible to remember what to say.. Here's the
monologue:
COMING
