Business Process Modeling

See how value flows

Embrace the socio-technical nature of organizational technology.
How people interact with software can be described using Business Process Models.
Orchestrate human and IT resources by modeling workflows and value streams.

Document
Create a Business Process Model of the current state of some part of your organization's operations. Consider a registration process, a sales lifecyle, a digital product change request lifecycle, or a purchasing process.
Analyze
Assess volume, business impact, lead times, queue times, failure paths, and throughput.
What business questions do you plan to ask of your data systems?
Model
Based on the initially documented current state model, redesign the process or service with desired changes.
Automate business processes
Once you've modeled some number of processes, there will likely be opportunities to use software to automate some portion of the intake, record-keeping, processing, and reporting.
