Architecture carries all
The structure everything else runs on, including the controls Governance relies on.
How the five domains work together →What it answers
- How does the work flow today, step by step, across people and systems?
- Where does it stall, double back, get re-keyed, or depend on one person's memory?
- Which of those problems would a planned system or vendor build fix, and which would survive it?
- What should change first?
For whom. Operating leaders whose teams are busy but slow; firms about to buy or build a platform who want to know what it will and won't fix; PE sponsors who need the operating picture of a portfolio company quickly.
How the evidence is produced
We walk the work with the people who do it and map it step by step, then attach each problem to the step where it occurs, with the person who reported it. We check the maps and the problems back with the process owners before anything is ranked.
What you receive
The process maps
The core processes, end to end, in standard notation, at the level of individual steps, including the spreadsheets, hand-offs, and workarounds.
The friction register
Every point of pain, attached to the step where it happens, with who feels it and what it costs.
What a planned build leaves behind
If a new system or vendor platform is coming, which problems it removes and which remain, so nothing is bought on hope.
The streamlining plan
The changes ranked by effect and effort, the quick wins first, each with a proposed owner.
What it takes from you
Walkthroughs with the people who run each process; existing procedure documents and system screens; any planned build's scope.
