I was fortunate to be able to interview James Taylor, one of the authors of the book (http://tynerblain.com/blog/2007/06/25/smart-enough-systems/). Then James and I developed a presentation that we delivered together at the IBRF.
Coming from a requirements background, I did not have an appreciation for how "novel" the notion of abstracting decisions from processes appeared to be to many members of the audience in our (and other) presentations.
It's one of those "duh" ideas, once you think about it. The book does a really good job of helping you think about it. And James knows his stuff. I love it when people can abstract and articulate theory from years of practice. Most of us have to do it the other way around.
