In order to cope with the business complexity of the 21st century, we require a new way of thinking about and describing, how corporations function. A new business orientated methodology that is understood by everyone in the business community, not just the IT practitioners, must be established. The xBML - eXtended Business Modelling Language - is  a  rule based, synoptic and formal language used to describe business. 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.

Cedric G. Tyler is President of BusinessGenetics, principle inventor of the xBML methodology, and a leading expert in the fields of Business Modeling, Business Process and Information Technology. He began his career with IBM in the UK and subsequently co-founded INFOMET and Infolab, two international companies specializing in the business-to-information technology interface which were acquired by IBM in the 1990’s. He has advised many leading organizations in the private and public sectors and served as an adjunct professor at the Daniels College of Business at Denver University.

Steve Baker is CEO of BusinessGenetics and has over twenty-five years of experience in the IT, Healthcare, and Real Estate industries. He has held management positions in Fortune organizations including Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). For the past decade he has focused on improving the communication within and among businesses as well as improving their operational efficiencies. He sits on the boards of several private and nonprofit corporations, and has been an Adjunct Professor at the Daniels School of Business.
