Today’s Purpose
 To learn from you while sharing our current hypotheses
 To better understand the market’s needs and uses of process
diagnostics
 To get feedback on PICD’s:
– overall structure
– basic elements
– sub-elements
 To improve the tool
 And, to do all of this within one hour!

Why a New Tool? What’s Different Now?
 In the past few years, we’ve seen an enormous technology
evolution in costs and capabilities
 There are major demographic changes, i.e. the rise of
knowledge workers
 The battle between today and tomorrow is intensifying
 There’s growing disenfranchisement of performers (next page)
 Meanwhile, the intensity of competition makes process
outcomes even more crucial
 And, we now have years of experience with ‘process’—both
good and bad

What Would a Perfect Process Diagnostic
Tool Look Like?
 Help link process activity and process improvement to improved
business performance
 Facilitate quick and simple self-administration
 Focus only on key leverage issues, no attempt to be
comprehensive
 Help bridge the gap between process and ‘all other’
 Reflect contemporary issues–both problems and solutions
 Identify solutions clearly

Therefore, our PICD Purpose Is:
 Identify and diagnose, simply and quickly, the primary drivers of
Process Performance, focusing on the key, control-able levers of
change
 Provide clear direction for corrective action
 Ensure alignment around all aspects of the business model
 Provision process re-designers with the complete set of
integrated factors than need to be changed and kept in
alignment

Process-ness
 Design
– is there a complete, explicit, and integrated E2E design?
– have all SIPOC elements been identified?
– is the VOC (external) loudly heard?
 Improvement
– has the E2E design been significantly improved recently?
– is there active BM/BP?
– is the ‘Toolkit’ complete?
– is data-driven diagnosis ongoing?
 Linkages
– how well have the interfaces with other internal processes been identified, designed, and
improved?
– how well have the interfaces with other external processes been identified, designed, and
improved?
 Documentation
– is the process documented completely?
– are process standards in place, and how complete is conformance to stated standards?
