workplace creativity, driven by strategy
We all carry out processes.
PISO® – processes, systems, strategic objectives
Processes consist of ‘activities that add value’.
If the processes we use are not working effectively … they fail to ‘add the value’ that we know they should. the system becomes frustrating to use.
Most of us have ‘if only ….’ ideas of how the system should be.
PISO® allows us to turn these strategic objectives into practical working outcomes.
From these ideas come our ‘strategic objectives’ – the changes we would like to make.
A ‘system’ is simply a number of processes connected in some way.
PISOPISO®®

PISO® is a method ...
for re-designing processes ...

A strategic objective for quality improvement, brings about a fundamental change in the ‘shape’ of the system.
From this ... … to this.
PISO® – making processes effective
PISOPISO®®
workplace creativity, driven by strategy
not expensive consultancy ...
but employee knowledge and creativity.
Employees are key stakeholders in the changes being designed.
Their strategic objectives engage with those of the organisation.
They are not just consulted, but given the job.
They feel valued and empowered, happy to use the processes they themselves have improved, and keen to use their skills repeatedly.
Note – improved processes don’t make for an improved organisation unless employees are happy to use those processes.
… workplace creativity, driven by strategy.
PISO® – a different approach
PISOPISO®®
workplace creativity, driven by strategy
not flowcharts, process maps ...
but the unique features of data flow diagrams.
Clear, step-driven approach.Easy to learn, in only a few hours.Re-design occurs in the ‘logical domain’.
no other process improvement method does this greatly clarifies graphical view of system significant aid to consensus
PISO® – a different approach
PISOPISO®®
workplace creativity, driven by strategy
PISO® uses data flow diagram (dfd) notation from the Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM).
Unlike flow charts, dfds represent a whole map of a system rather than one route through it.
Unlike flow charts and process maps, dfds can be logicalised – which is where PISO® re-design occurs. Uniquely, PISO® logicalises twice.
SSADM’s dfd notation incorporates particularly useful features.
PISO® applies these in a new way with emphasis upon process improvement rather computer systems analysis.
Because dfds originate within computer systems design, the re-designed solution ‘accidentally’ becomes the basis for any new computer systems implied by the improvement.
PISO® – its use of dfds

PHYSICAL dfds depict a physical circumstance.
PISO® – its use of dfds
LOGICAL views vary – dependent upon information … available considered relevant
PISO® logicalises the dfds TWICE …1 for ‘systems efficiency’ purposes2 to meet the strategic objective
… so even with a strategic objective that emphasises QUALITY, the re-engineered system will be as efficient as possible.
– physical and logical
No other method does this …
… and no other method requires the employees to do the analysis, becoming active stakeholders within the project.

11 a PHYSICAL dfd to depict the current ‘system’, warts and all.
2 a LOGICAL dfd for ‘systems efficiency’ purposes – giving a logical view of the current ‘system’ with all physical constraints removed.
3 a second LOGICAL dfd for ‘strategic objective’ purposes – giving a re-engineered logical view of how the ‘system’ could look if a required strategic objective was incorporated.
4 a final PHYSICAL dfd to show how the
strategically re-logicalised ‘system’ with its new processes (all of them as efficient as possible), could be physically implemented.
– physical and logicalPISO® – its use of dfds
PISO® is unique in its use of dfds in this way.
A view of how processes are physically undertaken
within the organisation.
PISO® uses dfds FOUR times – two physical, two logical.
A view of what these processes logically achieve.

A view of how these processes could be logically modified to meet a strategic
objective.

PISOPISO®®
– the method
Commonly, known problem areas are identified from the outset …
… but a ‘map the whole organisation’ approach can be used, identifying ‘hotspots’ to be tackled further
Whatever approach, physical dfds of current systems are ‘warts and all’ – not based purely upon official policy. Thus PISO® captures what is good, targets what is bad.
PISOPISO®®
workplace creativity, driven by strategy
Superficially like Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) – but important differences.
Much more clearly defined than BPR. PISO® incorporates a step-by-step method using one easily taught core technique.
Significantly cheaper than BPR. PISO® is ‘do-it-yourself’ – requires no outside consultancy, just basic training.
Significantly faster than BPR – typical PISO® projects take 40-80 days rather than 8-12 months.
Significantly higher success rate than BPR – over 90% rather than less than 20% – and PISO® has been known to rescue ‘stalled’ BPR projects.
Much more emphasis upon ‘employee stakeholders’ than with BPR. PISO® utilises knowledge and creativity of staff. BPR takes a ‘management view’ of organisational processes.

The PDSA Cycle is an overall approach to continuous and incremental improvement, designed to encourage progress to be maintained.
PISO® – and PDSA (The ‘Plan, Do, Study, Act’ Cycle)
The PISO® method incorporates techniques that provide a rigorous and complete means of putting the PDSA ‘incremental improvement’ approach into practice ...
… whilst also identifying ‘step-change’ improvements that should be developed, and ...
… providing the means for developing them.
PISOPISO®®
workplace creativity, driven by strategy
PISO® isn’t anything like PRINCE2! ...
PISO® – and PRINCE2?
... but with the increasing interest in ‘continuous improvement’, PRINCE2 is, surprisingly, sometimes recommended as a process improvement tool.
PRINCE2 is a project management approach ...
… PISO® is a process improvement method.
PRINCE2 can help manage a process improvement project, but it cannot improve processes.
Because PISO® is presented as a clearly defined set of steps, it is easily project manageable – using PRINCE2 or any other approach.

… 6SIGMA:
PISO® – and …
PISO® provides an effective ‘tool in the tool box’, for effective process improvement.
… ISO9002:
PISO® leaves a diagrammatic audit trail showing the process improvements made.
… Investors In People:
The whole ethos of PISO® is to invest in the knowledge and creativity of the people employed by an organisation.
… any approach that seeks to improve the processes of an organisation, and/or develop the staff within it:
PISO® can make a strong contribution

The latest PISO® development.
PISO®
Categorises stakeholders as … direct (system engagers/users) interface (facilitators) indirect (outside agencies, decision makers)
Considers their influence in terms of … power legitimacy urgency
Examines likely changes, and possible effects upon each stakeholder.
Available ‘stand-alone’ or as an optional PISO® ‘add-on’.
