Methodologies we respect
Our Operational Clarity Framework stands on the shoulders of proven disciplines. We borrow the useful core of each and leave the enterprise bureaucracy behind. If your business already runs one of these, we’re a complement — not a replacement.
The disciplines behind the framework
Each links to the source. The note is what we actually borrow.
Lean
Maximize customer value while removing waste and improving flow.
We borrow: the customer-value lens, waste removal, and whole-flow thinking.
lean.org ↗Lean Six Sigma
Data-driven reduction of defects and process variation.
We borrow: DMAIC root-cause analysis on high-volume, defect-prone processes.
asq.org ↗Value Stream Mapping
See how work and information flow, current state vs. future state.
We borrow: door-to-door flow and a simple current/future-state picture.
lean.org ↗BPM & BPMN
A standard way to model, run, and improve business processes.
We borrow: shared, readable process maps for business and technical teams.
omg.org ↗APQC Process Framework
A common, cross-industry taxonomy for business processes.
We borrow: a shared process language for scorecards and comparison.
apqc.org ↗EOS
A simple operating system for entrepreneurial companies: vision, people, data, issues, process, traction.
We borrow: executive simplicity and operating cadence. Run EOS already? Great — you set the rhythm, we modernize the workflows underneath. Let’s partner.
eosworldwide.com ↗Process Mining
Uses system event logs to reveal how processes actually run.
We borrow: event-log visibility — where the data justifies it.
celonis.com ↗Prosci ADKAR
A people-focused change model: awareness, desire, knowledge, ability, reinforcement.
We borrow: a lightweight, role-by-role adoption plan for every change.
prosci.com ↗Enterprise Architecture (TOGAF)
Aligning business, data, applications, and technology toward a target state.
We borrow: light-touch target-state design and gap analysis.
opengroup.org ↗IT Governance (COBIT)
A framework for the governance and management of enterprise IT.
We borrow: selected controls when AI or automation touches sensitive workflows.
isaca.org ↗Human-Centered Design
Design with the people who do the work — observe, prototype, iterate.
We borrow: shadowing, quick prototypes, and exception-path testing.
ideo.org ↗NIST AI Risk Management
Practical, risk-aware principles for trustworthy AI at any scale.
We borrow: staged, governed AI readiness — controls before scale.
nist.gov ↗Run one of these already?
Coaches and firms that run EOS, Lean, or Six Sigma programs set the operating rhythm. We modernize the workflows and data underneath it. Let’s talk about partnering.
