Business Process Architecture

The traditional organization is structured through departments, functions, and job descriptions, resulting in crippling department silos and dropped balls. By redefining enterprise business models through a series of smartly-designed business systems and business processes, BEM aligns the organization model into process-based workflows with clearly defined deliverables, roles matched to responsibilities, and the framework to drive meaningful change. Our business mapping solution empowers organizations to move from fragmented operations to fully integrated process-based performance.

Insightful Maps & Tools

BEM produces valuable diagrams, maps, and workflow analysis using Microsoft Visio and Excel. Our mapping workshops produce the Perigon® Playbook, which expands the traditional process map into a robust process manual that captures key organizational knowledge. The Perigon® Playbook is BEM’s proprietary design that contains four sections:

  • Scorecard summarizes process characteristics,
  • Architecture Map shows the process SIPOC - suppliers, inputs, (high level) process, outputs, and customers,
  • Process Map details process tasks, decisions, and inputs and outputs, and
  • Knowledge Matrices contain analysis of process characteristics, including information, responsibilities, transactions, value, metrics, Red Clouds, and the Process Improvement Plan.

Why Choose BEM?

BEM is the better choice.

The Perigon® Method

Through the Perigon® Method, we teach clients to fish, leaving behind the education, capability, methodology, and improvement system to sustain change.

Quick Results

We are extremely efficient in the use of client staff time. We deliver our services through a combination of onsite and remote workshops, allowing greater client flexibility and lower relationship costs.

Viral Momentum

Our approach creates viral momentum. Each business system workflow transformation increases the client’s appetite for more improvement.

Superior Value

We add far more value for smaller fees than large consulting and accounting firms. Our sole mission is to transform client workflows with meaningful and sustainable improvement. We partner with clients to deliver change that sticks—superior value delivered faster.

Enterprise Agnostic

We are agnostic to enterprise size, shape, and type. We are experts in workflow construct and have seen it all before. Our grounding in deep process fundamentals allows us to document, analyze, and redesign any workflow in any situation.

No Surprises

We tell you before each project what it will cost, how many days it will take, what the schedule will look like, and how much time will be needed from your staff.

I have never seen such a powerful process map.
Having worked with several different process improvement methodologies, the Perigon® Method is the most robust I have ever experienced.
Perigon® is a very powerful tool for business improvement.
BEM efficiently maps a business end-to-end, untangling complicated workflows and making them understandable.
Perigon® is the most robust approach I have seen in my 30 years of improvement experience, including Six Sigma, Lean, and Theory of Constraints.
Perigon® is a brilliant and powerful integration of best practices, and I do not know a better, more effective methodology for bringing fragmented organizations into a greater cohesion and focus on achieving measurable, sustainable performance improvement.

Four Steps to Process Improvement

Ready to get started?

Business System Roadmap (1-2 Days)

The very inexpensive Business System Roadmap Workshop breaks down the business model to basic process architecture, identifies client personnel to be involved, and builds a project workplan to map the scoped business processes.

Develop Perigon® Playbooks (8-12 Weeks)

This phase builds Perigon® Playbooks for processes defined in the Business System Roadmap. Each process team develops their process map, assesses alignment with other processes, defines additional process knowledge and analysis, identifies Quick Wins, and develops a 90-day Process Improvement Plan. In the capstone workshop, an overall 12-18 month System Improvement Plan is developed to address systemic opportunities. Phase Two cost is based on the number of processes mapped in the project, typically in the 10-15 process range.

System Deployment (3-6 Months)

System Deployment delivers implementation support, including problem-solving, process deployment, process deliverable specification, metrics design and plan, and business system monitoring to continually improve processes. In this phase, clients rapidly deploy substantially improved processes within three to six months and install the infrastructure to sustain and monitor performance improvements over time.

Enterprise Alignment (4-8 Weeks)

Enterprise Alignment integrates business processes, business systems, and organization strategy to deliver aligned execution. This phase activates after multiple business systems have been mapped and aligned and the enterprise has matured in its process improvement management.
