Design the process you want, test it before rollout, and run it from the same model.
Design builds the future-state model with the people who run the process. Governance approves it, simulation tests it and workflow runs it, all from one source.
A process that has been agreed, tested and governed before anyone is asked to follow it.
A restructure has moved half the team, and the agreed process needs to change with it. Design starts from what discovery found and the models you already hold, so the new version builds on what works.
Test the change before you commit
What-if simulation shows the effect of a change on the model first, the gains and the side effects. Where logs exist, the baseline comes from how the process runs today, so the test reflects the real work.
Back the improvements that matter
Compare improvement ideas side by side and see which are worth pursuing first, before any investment is made.
Processes tied to your strategy
Each process connects to the goals it serves, and to the people, resources and safeguards it relies on, so improvement lines up with what the business is trying to achieve.
One model for everyone
Executives, front-line teams, risk and compliance share one understanding of how the process operates. The models and the written procedures behind them sit in one repository, and the design that was approved is the design that runs.
Risk and compliance built in
Each risk and the control that answers it are recorded in the model as it is built, so evidence for internal policy and external regulation is ready when it is asked for.
A design the team owns
The people who run the process build the model together, with real-time collaboration in the workshop. Change lands better when the team designed it.
Discover how the process runs today. Design the version it should be. Optimise it against strategy, not instinct.
Design sits between discovery and mining. It takes what discovery found, builds the future state with the people who run the process, and aligns the result to what the business is trying to achieve.
1. Discover
Establish how the process runs today, from the people and the systems.
Process discovery2. Design
Build, test and agree the future-state model. You are here.
Frequently asked questions
What do we have at the end of design?
A future-state model in iGrafx Process360 Live with owners, risks and controls recorded, a simulation of the change, and a model ready to hand to workflow wherever you choose to automate.
Does design start from a blank page?
No. Design starts from what discovery found and from the models and SOPs you already hold, then builds the future-state model from there.
Who is involved in building the model?
The people who run the process, working together in the model. They shape the design, so it reflects the work and is far more likely to stick than a design handed over for sign-off.
Does the design already account for risk and compliance?
Yes. Risks and mitigating controls are recorded as the model is built, so compliance evidence is a by-product of the design rather than a separate exercise afterwards.
