Regulations
Broader Process Scope vs. Simpler Process Models
Business Context. Enterprise process initiatives are tempted to map end-to-end value chains spanning multiple departments, but comprehensive models quickly become too complex for any single stakeholder group to validate or use.
Process TRIZ Resolution. Instead of one monolithic model, organizations should build a layered set of models: a simple executive-level view, a mid-level operational view, and detailed technical views, each linked to the others but usable independently.
Applicable TRIZ Principles
Principle 1 (Segmentation) breaks the end-to-end value chain into layered models suited to different audiences.
Principle 7 (Nested Doll) nests detailed sub-process models inside higher-level summary views.
Principle 3 (Local Quality) tailors the level of detail to the needs of each stakeholder group rather than using one uniform standard.
Expected Outcome
Broader coverage
Easier stakeholder comprehension
Reusable model layers
Faster validation cycles
Decision Indicators
Executives disengage from overly technical process diagrams.
Technical teams find executive-level maps too vague to build from.
A single model is used, and edited, by too many conflicting audiences.
Model maintenance becomes a bottleneck as scope grows.
Stakeholders request simplified versions of existing maps.
If several of these indicators are present, the contradiction is likely active and the Process TRIZ resolution above should be evaluated.
