Extract rules, don't integrate them

Some time ago I posted on the topic of removing decisions from business processes (something that also came up yesterday) over on my other blog. I got a reply from Michael zur Muehlen and he made a great point. Many people, he said, talk about the integration of rules and processes when what we really want is the opposite - to extract rules from processes. Keeping rules in decisions and processes separate results in simpler processes and clearer management. This topic has come up repeatedly both on this blog, Sandy Kemsley's blog and my other blog.
