Code Red and the Mess Hall—or the Difference between Tacit and Explicit BPM
While reading “IT-Enabled Leadership,” a report prepared jointly by INEAD, The European Institute of Business Administration and CIONET, CIO Network, Frits Bussemaker was reminded of the scene in A Few Good Men in which Tom Cruise asks Kevin Bacon where the description of Code Red is located in the Marine Manual. Bacon responded that It isn`t, but neither is a description of how to get to the mess hall and, somehow, the marines manage to find the mess hall. You`ll have to read the Article to discover how all of this relates to BPM and why the difference between tacit and explicit BPM is important.
