80–90% of Digital Transformations (PLM, ERP & MES) are still failing.
Amongst other Critical Success Factors, the #2 reason for failure is because of broken business process visibility.
The AS-IS business processes that need to be transformed.
If you're leading a PLM, ERP, or MES digital transformation, you are aware of this uncomfortable truth:
· Most organizations skip the AS-IS vs TO-BE business process mapping.
· Because it's tedious, emotional, and expensive.
But what if you could automate 80–90% of that effort using RAG-LLMs?
In this article (attached), I break down:
· Why AS-IS vs TO-BE business process mapping is the #2 Critical Success Factor.
· How to use Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with LLMs to auto-generate bespoke Business Process
Maps and Data Flow Diagrams.
· And provide a real-world example of how to build an end-to-end process map from existing training material .... automatically.
If you get a chance, let me know what you think!
