Activity Modelling

By lowering the barriers to entry for activity modelling, 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 activities.

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

What is Activity Modelling?

Activity Modelling 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.

How DOLIUM innovates Activity
Modelling

DOLIUM democratises activity modelling by making it accessible to non-IT staff, thus providing a valuable tool to use in the conduct of daily business.

  • 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 and function modelling is reliable, thereby enabling complex organisations to make informed decisions, optimise processes, and maintain compliance with confidence.

DOLIUM's approach to ensuring data controls are also a critical component of effective activity and function modelling. 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 and function modelling, data controls are 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 are 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 activities 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 Modelling

DOLIUM's innovative approach to Function Modelling enables organisations to not only model 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 Modelling?

Function Modelling 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 activities, and how they interact or interrelate within the larger system of the organisation.

Function Modelling 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 Modelling

DOLIUM innovates Function Modelling 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 Modelling:
