Systems And Methods For Process Designing By Aligning With Objectives

Abstract: Described herein are a system (102) and a method for designing processes in alignment with the business objectives. The system (102) includes an objective formulation module (108) defines a number of business objectives based upon a pre-defined criterion. A process mapping module (110) associates the business objectives to the processes in the organization. The process mapping module (110) maps the processes with the defined business objectives, determines unmapped processes, obtains modified processes based upon gaps within the unmapped processes, and links the mapped and modified processes to a number of functions in the organization. Further, a display module (112) displays linkages of the mapped processes and the modified processes to the business objectives and the functions to enable a user in tracing the mapped processes and the modified processes to the defined business objectives and the functions.

Specification

CLIAMS:1. A process designing system (102) for designing processes in an organization, the process designing system (102) comprising: a processor (202); and
an objective formulation module (108) coupled to the processor (202) to define a plurality of business objectives based on a stakeholder analysis, client requirements, and goals of the organization; a process mapping module (110) coupled to the processor (202) to associate the plurality of business objectives to a plurality of processes in the organization, wherein the process mapping module (110) is configured to: establish a mapping between the plurality of processes and the plurality of business objectives based on a relation of a plurality of functional attributes of the processes with the plurality of business objectives; determine unmapped processes, from amongst the plurality of processes, that are not mapping to at least one of the plurality of business objectives; obtain modified processes based upon gaps within the unmapped processes; and
link mapped processes that map with at least one of the plurality of business objectives and the modified processes to a plurality of functions in the organization to ascertain an associated ownership of each of the mapped processes and the modified processes; and
a display module (112) coupled to the processor (202) to display linkages of the mapped processes and the modified processes to the plurality of business objectives and to the plurality of functions to enable a user in tracing the mapped processes and the modified processes to the plurality of business objectives and the plurality of functions.
2. The process designing system (102) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the process mapping module (110) is further configured to: determine unmapped business objectives, from amongst the plurality of business objectives, that are not mapped to at least one of the plurality of processes; obtain at least one new process based on the unmapped business objectives; and
link the at least one new process to at least one of the plurality of functions to ascertain an associated ownership of the at least one new process.
3. The process designing system (102) as claimed in claim 2, wherein the display module (112) displays linkages of the at least one new process to the plurality of business objectives and to the plurality of functions to enable the user in tracing the at least one new process to the plurality of business objectives and the plurality of functions.
4. The process designing system (102) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the objective formulation module (108) is configured to define the plurality of business objectives by filtering the plurality of business objectives as relevant objectives out of received business objectives, wherein the filtering is based upon at least one of the stakeholder analysis, the client requirements, and the goals of the organization.
5. The process designing system (102) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the objective formulation module (108) is further configured to define the plurality of business objectives based upon presence of at least one technical resource within the organization.
6. The process designing system (102) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the display module (112) is configured to display a matrix for displaying the linkages.
7. The process designing system (102) as claimed in claim 6, wherein the matrix is a four dimensional matrix comprising processes, the plurality of business objectives, the plurality of functions and the gaps as four elements of the matrix.
8. The process designing system (102) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the display module (112) is configured to exhibit at least one of a layout, a map or a tree to denote the linkages.
9. A computer-implemented method for designing processes for an organization, the method comprising: defining a plurality of business objectives based on a stakeholder analysis, client requirements, and goals of the organization; establishing a mapping between plurality of processes and the plurality of business objectives based on a relation of a plurality of functional attributes of the processes with a plurality of business objectives; determining unmapped processes, from amongst the plurality of processes, that are not mapping to at least one of the plurality of business objectives; obtaining modified processes based upon gaps within the unmapped processes; linking the mapped processes that map with at least one of the plurality of business objectives and the modified processes to a plurality of functions in the organization to ascertain an associated ownership of each of the mapped processes and the modified processes; and
displaying linkages of the mapped processes and the modified processes to the plurality of business objectives and to the plurality of functions to enable a user in tracing each of the mapped processes and the modified processes to the plurality of business objectives and the plurality of functions.
10. The method as claimed in claim 9, further comprising: determining unmapped business objectives, from amongst the plurality of business objectives, that are not mapped to at least one of the plurality of processes; obtaining at least one new process based on the unmapped business objectives; linking the at least one new process to at least one of the plurality of functions to ascertain an associated ownership of the at least one new process; and
displaying linkages of the at least one new process to the plurality of business objectives and the plurality of functions to enable the user in tracing the at least one new process to the plurality of business objectives and the plurality of functions.
11. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the defining comprises filtering the plurality of business objectives as relevant objectives out of received business objectives based upon at least one of the stakeholder analysis, the client requirements, and the goals of the organization.
12. The method as claimed in claim 11, wherein the defining further comprises defining the plurality of business objectives based upon presence of at least one technical resource within the organization.
13. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the displaying comprises displaying a matrix for displaying the linkages.
14. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the matrix is a four dimensional matrix comprising processes, the plurality of business objectives, the plurality of functions and the gaps as four elements of the matrix.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions executable by a processor to execute a method for process designing for an organization, the method comprising: defining a plurality of business objectives based on a stakeholder analysis, client requirements, and goals of the organization; establishing mapping between plurality of processes and the plurality of business objectives based on a relation of a plurality of functional attributes of the processes with a plurality of business objectives; determining unmapped processes, from amongst the plurality of processes that are not mapping to at least one of the plurality of business objectives;
obtaining modified processes based upon gaps within the unmapped processes; linking the mapped processes that map with at least one of the plurality of business objectives and the modified processes to a plurality of functions in the organization to ascertain an associated ownership of each of the mapped processes and the modified processes; and
displaying linkages of the mapped processes and the modified processes to the plurality of business objectives and to the plurality of functions to enable a user in tracing the mapped processes and the modified processes to the plurality of business objectives and the plurality of functions. ,TagSPECI:As Attached
