When building business application you know it will require some changes in the lifecycle of the application. Every year new laws, new insights and/or new business models need to be implemented in less time. How flexible is your solution when it is hard coded, smart coded or built using third party tooling like regular components, Nintex or K2. Roland Driesen will explain how you can make your application more flexibel and adaptive. He will explain the possible choices when to hard code or when to use a workflow engine (or combine) using a decision matrix. André Krijnen will then explain the different available options including the pro's and con's per option and real life scenario's.

The Power of Thinking
Without Thinking
introduces the concept of thinslicing.
Daniel Coleman’s interpretation: you
are in fact cognitively perceiving data,
it’s just that you’re doing it so quickly.
With pattern recognition from past
experience, what you experience as
intuitive is actually just unbelievably
quick cognitive processing.
