This description of the "reality of the business" is what enlightened
management consultants have been trying to change since the late 1980s -
trying to move business people from a perspective based on functional
silos (Finance, Manufacturing, Sales, Servicing etc) to a more useful
perspective based on processes. And a process architecture is not a
value "stream" or "chain" - what Martyn Ould calls the 5-bite kebab. It
is a network of objects and interactions.

Now I really will shut up!
