Before You Build, Get Clear
AI makes it easier than ever to build, prototype, and automate. It does not make it any less important to think. When the cost of building drops, the cost of building the wrong thing rises. Remember Peter Drucker’s aphorism that ends wtih “… are you doing the right thing?”
That is why a Business System Concept still matters. It helps a team get clear on how the work happens today, what should change and why, which parts of the current process still deserve to exist, and what future-state model is actually worth building toward.
In the latest IntelliVen Insight, we use a simple construction example to illustrate the difference between NOW and NEXT. A descriptive model shows how the organization works today. A normative model defines how it must work to fulfill the mandate. Without both, initiatives multiply but performance does not improve.
Get Clear. Align. Grow.
