The 360-degree view of operations explores all alternatives, detects root causes and understands constraints to deliver the best of human and machine intelligence.
Provides a holistic view of the operations, allowing for quick identification of issues and optimization ideas that would otherwise be missed.
Reconciles information to ensure model consistency, and eliminates any unidentified consequences, providing assurance in the decision-making process,
What all do we want to achieve?
Define clear goals for your business. These could be from benchmarking studies; based on the business plan; or a comparison with the past.
Senior management perspective at this stage is critical to ensure we have a clear view on where we want to go with respect to cost, control and client goals together.
Using the 3-Cubed framework, translate goals into tangible cost, client delivery, and control metrics, the achievement of which would define success.
What is the state of the current operating model?
Collect information on your process, risk, operations, finance, IT, and teams in 3-Cubed formats, using tools like Excel, Visio, BPMN, JSON or XML formats.
It is not necessary to have perfect information. 3-Cubed includes reconciliation and sensitivity analyses to assist you in making decisions using "good enough" data.
Make use of the PROFIT data to create a digital model of your current operations that will serve as the foundation for optimization efforts.
What are the key issues & opportunities?
Examine the accuracy of the cost, customer, and control metrics computed by the digital model. Correct any information errors and run sensitivity analyses.
Use 3-cubed algorithms that indicate the interrelationships between metrics, to determine the root cause of any issues.
Determine the metrics that you want to improve in order to achieve your management objectives.
What all can we do to address these issues?
Based on the issues identified in the previous step, 3-Cubed's algorithms will propose all possible functional and cross-functional ideas for improvement.
There is no single panacea or operational lever to solve all problems; consider all ideas and how they can work together to improve your business.
Choose ideas based on their feasibility and timeliness of implementation; additional ideas can be incorporated once initial implementation is done.
What is the impact of our decisions on the operating model?
Once you've chosen or modified an improvement idea, 3-Cubed will incorporate the change into the digital twin to calculate the impact on future state metrics.
If you don't like the results, simply discard the idea. You can also add nuance to your selection and add new ideas until you achieve the desired results.
Use 3-Cubed's impact engine to identify any unintended consequences of your chosen ideas, choosing mitigating strategies if required.
What are the best next actions to execute the change?
Generates a detailed report on the new Process, Risk, Operations capacity, Financials, IT and Talent for distribution to the implementation owners for each.
Provides a guide to implementation that includes both what has to be done as well as the predicted metrics once the implementation is complete, for accountability.
Facilitates collaboration between the different functions on cross-functional impact by prioritizing execution to execute the plans effectively

You are more concerned with decisions than data, and we don't require data lakes to find solutions.
3-Cubed uses no transaction-level information and does not connect to native applications. It uses algorithms, not machine learning, for issue identification, idea generation, and impact analysis.
3-Cubed can leverage a wide variety of measurement tools and is agnostic to the source of information. If you use process miners, workflow planners, control trackers, or automation assessment, our APIs accept information from these. If you don’t, it is happy to accept your estimates in Visio and in Excel.
