In order to cope with the massive business complexity of the 21st century, we require a new way of thinking about and describing, how corporations function. A new business orientated methodology (language) for understanding commerce must be established, one that is understood by everyone in the business community, not just the IT practitioners. The xBML eXtended Business Modelling Language is just such a methodology. xBML is a rule based, synoptic and formal language for describing business, which, unlike most languages, is made up of diagrams. It provides a unique capability to develop and leverage business models across a multitude of corporate initiatives, from business improvement, IT requirements definition and Sarbanes Oxley compliance to outsourcing, mergers and acquisitions. The xBML approach has been applied across a broad range of initiatives within many industries and has resulted in significant, client-identified savings over $2.0 billion in total. Over 1,000 professionals have also been trained in xBML. Leading research and analyst group Gartner recently recognized xBML as unique and perhaps best of its kind
