Activity Modelling

By lowering the barriers to entry for activity modeling, DOLIUM enables a wider range of employees to engage in process optimisation efforts. This democratisation ensures that those who best understand the nuances of daily operations can directly influence the design and improvement of business processes.

The result is a more sustainable, agile, accurate, and inclusive approach to Activity Modeling, driving continuous improvement and innovation from within the organisation.

What is Activity Modelling?

Activity Modeling refers to the process of defining, documenting, and analysing the tasks, workflows, and processes that make up business operations. Its primary goal is to understand how work is conducted within an organisation, identify opportunities for optimisation, and ensure that business activities align with strategic objectives.

Employees can use these templates as a foundation, customising them to reflect their specific operational realities.
  • Collaborative Tools: DOLIUM facilitates collaboration among team members by providing tools that support shared editing, feedback, and version control. This collective approach ensures that a broad spectrum of insights and experiences are incorporated into the models, enhancing their accuracy and relevance.
  • Guided Methodology: The platform includes guided methodologies and best practices to help non-technical users understand the principles of effective activity modeling. These resources provide a roadmap for capturing processes in a structured and systematic way.
  • Integration with Existing Systems: DOLIUM can integrate with existing IT infrastructure and data sources, automatically pulling information into models and reducing the manual effort required from non-technical staff.
  • Visualisation and Analysis Tools: With advanced visualisation and analysis tools, DOLIUM helps users identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement within their models. These insights can be understood and acted upon without requiring deep technical knowledge.

Data Controls

By integrating these mechanisms, DOLIUM ensures that the data underpinning activity modeling and function mapping is reliable, thereby enabling complex organisations to make informed decisions, optimise processes, and maintain compliance with confidence.

DOLIUM's approach to ensuring data controls is also a critical component of effective activity modeling and function mapping. It provides a solid foundation for operational analysis, strategic planning, and continuous improvement initiatives, directly impacting the organisation's success and sustainability.

What is meant by Data Controls?

Data controls refers to the accuracy, consistency, and trustworthiness of data over time. It means that data is free from errors and discrepancies (pollution) and can be relied upon for decision-making, analysis, and operational processes.

For complex organisations engaged in activity modeling and function mapping, data controls is paramount for several reasons, such as:

  • Accurate Decision-Making
  • Activity Optimisation
  • Risk Management
  • Compliance and Reporting
  • Analysis Quality

How DOLIUM ensures Data Controls

DOLIUM prevents data pollution at the point of entry, with your specific business rules applied universally to govern the system.

This means that data remains clean and analysis ready, so you can get reliable critical insights when they needed most.

How DOLIUM supports better Data Controls:

  • Standardisation of Data Entry: DOLIUM's business rules enforce standard formats and validation criteria for data entry, ensuring that data is captured accurately and consistently across different parts of the organisation.
  • Data Integrity Checks: The platform implements checks and controls that prevent the entry of incorrect or duplicate data, maintaining the integrity of the dataset.
  • Future Workflow Automation: By enabling automation workflows based on predefined business rules, DOLIUM can reduce the risk of human error in data processing and ensure that data moves seamlessly between processes and systems.
  • Access Control: DOLIUM’s business rules include permissions and access controls that protect sensitive data and ensure that only authorised personnel can alter or view critical information, reducing the risk of data breaches or unauthorised changes.
  • Real-time Monitoring and Alerts: The system monitors data quality in real-time and can alert administrators to any discrepancies or anomalies that could indicate reliability issues, allowing for prompt corrective action.
  • Audit Trails: DOLIUM maintains comprehensive audit trails of data changes, providing transparency and accountability that further supports data controls.

Functional Mapping

DOLIUM's innovative approach to Function Mapping enables organisations to not only map their functions more effectively but also to derive actionable insights that drive strategic improvements, enhance efficiency, and ensure that all functions are aligned with the organisational goals.

This makes DOLIUM an essential tool for complex organisations looking to optimise their operations, coordinate complexity and navigate change.

What is Function Mapping?

Function Mapping is a strategic process used to identify, document, and analyse the various functions or activities within an organisation to understand how they contribute to the organisation's objectives. This methodology helps in visualising the relationship between different functions, their processes, and how they interact or interrelate within the larger system of the organisation.

Function Mapping is essential for identifying redundancies, improving efficiency, ensuring that all activities align with the strategic goals, and facilitating effective change management.

How DOLIUM improves Function Mapping

DOLIUM innovates Function Mapping through a combination of advanced technology, user-centric design, and strategic integration, making it accessible and impactful for complex organisations.

How DOLIUM supports better Function Mapping:

  • Comprehensive Visualisation: DOLIUM employs sophisticated visualisation tools that allow users to create detailed maps of organisational functions, illustrating how individual processes contribute to broader business goals. This clarity supports better strategic planning and decision-making.
  • Dynamic Interaction: Unlike static function mapping approaches, DOLIUM enables dynamic interaction with the mapped functions. Users can drill down into specific activities, view their dependencies, and assess their impact on overall operations, facilitating a deeper understanding of organisational workflows.
  • Integration with Business Operations: DOLIUM seamlessly integrates function mapping with daily business operations, ensuring that the insights gained are directly applicable to enhancing operational efficiency and achieving strategic objectives. This integration helps in bridging the gap between theoretical planning and practical application.
  • Real-Time Updates and Collaboration: DOLIUM supports real-time updates and collaborative function mapping, allowing teams across different locations to contribute to and modify the function maps as changes occur. This ensures that the organisation's function map remains up-to-date and reflective of the current operational state.
