We are aiming to revolutionize how we conceptualize, organize, and streamline our business processes.
While there are existing tools and models that offer pieces of the solution, such as organizational profiles and managerial systems, there's room for improvement.
We need to be able to consume remote APIs such as AI, Data Science and others easily and quickly.
You wouldn't design a house without blueprints, why try to run your business without them?
The current system we're using was strategically selected because it aligns well with our business objectives and modeling methodology.
However, this system isn't rigid; parts can be replaced if another offers a better strategic fit.
Rather than modifying processes on-the-fly, we should base them on tested templates.
Think of it as moving from manually adjusting processes to deploying best-practice blueprints that have passed rigorous quality checks.
At its core, CIM encompasses various business pillars: Stakeholders, Assets, Actions, Analytic Tools, Events, Business Units, Organizational Structures, Team Members, and Workflow Interactions.
It's important to note that these pillars are interrelated, but they maintain their autonomy – meaning that one doesn't govern or overshadow the other.
Our approach is rooted in a comprehensive business strategy model.
While this may sound complex, it's user-friendly. Team members don't need to dive deep into the theory; the system itself will guide them.
These are well-defined and serve specific functions, such as Assets that could represent both tangible and intangible resources.
Our record-keeping system ensures that all business activities, right from brainstorming sessions to major decisions, are documented systematically.
All crucial business information is housed in an organized manner, ensuring that we can access, analyze, or repurpose it as business needs evolve.
Each business process within the CIM structure is uniquely identified, ensuring there's no ambiguity or overlap.
Every business segment, department, and team member has a unique identifier, fostering clarity in communication and operations.
While resources could be shared across departments or projects, their role and contribution to specific processes are well-defined.
This aspect focuses on how different resources and business pillars collaborate to move projects or tasks forward. It captures the essence of process flow, progress milestones, and key outcomes.
The CIM approach redefines business process modeling, positioning it as a strategic tool for organizational clarity and efficiency. It emphasizes unique identification, rigorous blueprinting, and seamless collaboration among business pillars. Think of it as a fusion of best practices in business strategy, operations, and information management, all geared towards achieving superior business outcomes.
