Where the work fits
Situations that call for process strategy.
The practice is most useful when a strategic aim and the daily flow have drifted apart. If a situation below is familiar, the link opens the service that usually starts the work. If none fit, write anyway. A clear decline is a valid result of the first call.
-
Growth has stretched a process that used to fit one team
The original way of working was informal and fast. Volume, sites, or a new offer have made the exceptions the real process. A review shows which parts still protect the intent.
Usual start: Operating Reality Review
-
Two functions describe the same workflow and do not match
Each side has a coherent story. The customer, the file, or the deadline meets both. Tracing recent cases produces one picture both sides can correct.
Usual start: Operating Reality Review
-
A strategic priority has no operating path
The aim is in the plan. Day to day, nothing owns the sequence that would make it happen. Design work starts by naming the intent in operational terms.
Usual start: Process Strategy Design
-
Work waits on approvals that do not change the decision
Queues grow around signatures, standing meetings, and courtesy copies. Decision rights make it plain who may proceed, and which approval stays because it changes the outcome.
Usual start: Decision Rights and Measures
-
Reviews show volume and miss process health
The pack is thick. It still fails to say whether the process served the aim this week. A small signal set replaces activity with a reading a manager can act on.
Usual start: Decision Rights and Measures
-
A merger, a new offer, or a new market left old handoffs in place
The strategy moved. The handoffs did not. Transition and governance put an owner on the new flow and a review where the old path can be retired.
Usual start: Transition and Governance
A poor fit
These requests sit outside digitalstratconnct. We would rather say so before a proposal than stretch a service until it means something else.
- Software selection, configuration, and implementation
- Running a process on the client’s behalf, or supplying interim managers
- Recruitment, individual performance cases, and incentive design
- Legal, tax, audit, and accounting advice
- Promises of a savings figure, a headcount result, or a cycle-time percentage
