Process-bility : Visual Balance in action II

Process-bility : Visual Balance in action II

Process-bility consists of three fundamental principles:


  1. StoryTelling
  2. Visual Balance
  3. Simplicity


By applying Visual Balance, we can make any BPMN and UPN model much easier to understand.

Let's take a look at this UPN model by Walter Bril

This is the UPN model after applying Visual Balance


Would you like to see the UPN model after applying all three principles of Process-bility?

From Complexity to Clarity, BPMN made easy with Process-bility


Process-bility is a business modelling philosophy and technique developed and refined over 30 years by Kevin Tan. It is based on three fundamental principles of:

1. Storytelling: involves crafting a compelling visual narrative that conveys the flow of the process and how it fits within the broader context of the organisation.

2. Visual Balance: emphasises the strategic use of colors and position of notation to create a visually pleasing and easy-to-understand model.

3. Simplicity: is about using the "less is more" approach, focusing on the essential elements of the process and avoiding unnecessary complexity. By embracing Process-bility, you can create process models that are highly engaging, easy to understand, and capable of driving meaningful change within your organisations.

Excellent Kevin Tan ??. Would love to discuss the approach I used and your Visual Balance rules. DM me if you’re interested.
