Rationale for Business Process Transformation Framework

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 19:29:52 GMT

At the Value Chain Group we espouse the Business Process Transformation Framework. Without delving too deep, the first thing we do is we show companies how to capture their processes into a data-driven framework. We offer the Value Reference Model and its framework as the starting point then help your internal team (under NDA) rationalize internal processes into an extension of this. With the right team in place and scope agreed upon this exercise only takes a few weeks to accomplish. With a robust palette of processes captured in the Architect database, we can then work with your team to build consensus driven value chain scenarios based on your corporate strategic goals. Using our Methodology we show you how fast capture of your value streams, like Procurement to Pay, for instance, that allows for high fidelity value chain analysis thereby setting the stage for continuous improvement. This phase can be done within weeks. Furthermore, because all processes have...

eXtensible Reference Model

Sat, 25 Jun 2011 16:20:06 GMT

VCG Framework | VRM | VLM | ICIM | SOA-IM A development coming from the VCG's experience in pilot projects with members is the extension of the VCG's Business Process Transformation Framework to inlclude the XRM's. The VCG's eXtensible Reference Model (XRM) provides a universal approach to normalized process dictionaries by offering our members a 'clean slate' framework in which proprietary process models may be captured and stored for reuse. As a neutral entity, the VCG acts as a resource for pre-engineered best practice frameworks and as a marketplace for others to discover and use these process dictionaries. A Translation Guideline is required in order for model exchange to take place. Please contact Scott Palmer at +1 412 487 2922 to find out more about this program. The Translation Guideline involves the concept of organizing proprietary content into the VCG Framework process reference taxonomy where each...
