Validate your processes before you scale or transform them
Programmes succeed at scale when the process has been validated first. IGX validates the process as it runs against your target, so downstream impacts are found in design and you scale what works.
Validate before you scaleWhat validating first gives you
Rework is cheapest in design and most expensive in production. Validating before you scale or automate finds hidden flaws while they are cheap to fix, so the programme delivers the intended outcome at the intended scale.
How to validate a process before you scale it
Validation before commitment comes down to three checks:
- Confirm the current state.Mining the process as it runs shows what you are about to scale, including the variants the target design should account for.
- Test the target against it.Run the proposed design against how the process behaves and its dependencies. This shows the downstream impacts before implementation.
- Size the rework risk.Where design and reality diverge, quantify what it would cost to discover that after go-live versus before. That number is the business case for validating first.
IGX combines process mining, Insights and Process Design to validate the target against the mined current state, so downstream impact is found in design.
A traced impact analysis
The impacts you are shown are traced through the model: this change, these dependencies, these downstream processes affected. You see the effect and where it lands before you commit.
Questions to ask before you start
Won't validation slow the programme down?
It moves the slow part earlier, where it is cheap. Finding the impact in design costs days; finding it in production costs a re-implementation.
What do you validate against?
The mined current state and its dependencies.
Can you validate an automation before we build it?
Yes. Validating the target design against how the process runs is the point, before the build.
Validate your processes before you scale or transform them
Scale what works.
