This is the second of a two-part series on the need to assess the cultural profile of an organization, and its impact on the selection of the most suitable change or transformation approach. (Part one: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/change-agents-arent-roles-you-think-tantra-tantraporn/ ) There are four distinctly different Change Quadrant profiles, delimited by the intersection five change agents: resistance, culture, empowerment, urgency and momentum. These agents help managers evaluate the nature of the organization, the type of change being considered and the transformation approach most likely to facilitate successful results.

Process is one of the most commonly used terms, but least understood aspect of most corporations, regardless of size. Generally, people accept that they are a vital component of good business practice, but ways to address them beyond generating reams of documentation or gigabytes of images seem limited and theoretical. Methods that actually utilize, let alone optimize processes, have been poorly defined or generally ineffective across a vast
Flowcharts, along with their slightly more complex swim lane and BPMN derivatives, are the most common process modeling formats in use by far. A survey of the current top 10 process management software products found that each document processes in one of these flowchart-based formats. Why? Primarily, because they give users the ability to visualize work as a simple series of logical steps. As such, they establish an elementary way to
Business Analysts (BA) are the vital link between the Business Users and solution providers involved in any successful transformation effort.

Recently, Partisan Consulting was given a forum to help explain the value of process management in an online, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environment with digitized process models and integrated datasets. Seven distinct advantages were identified over projects implemented on standard process flow or swim lane-based systems.
Studies found that the integration of process data in 3D visualizations increased operator performance. Experiments measured improved reaction times and lower error rates associated with problem detection and corrective actions. The mental workload of operators with 3D visualizations also measured lower than those with
