About John Owens

“I am passionate about bringing simplicity, power and integration to the worlds of Business Systems Modeling, Business Function Modeling, Process Modeling and Data Modeling wherever they are practiced.  I have seen far to much bad practice, confusion, complexity and pain in these areas and there is no need for it!

This is why I have developed the Integrated Modelling Method (IMM™).  Its secret is simple! It places the essential activities of a business – Business Functions – at heart of all business modeling and then integrates all other business and data models through these Functions.  Simplicity, Power, Elegance!” John Owens, 2009
