Building a business system. Here are the directions:
Select a business or organization real or fictitious, use the cases or your own creativity. Describe it (see below) it can be highly technical or not, but it must use the basic business functions to some degree. At the end of your description there should be a problem(s), dysfunction(s), error(s), in the business/social system. I include social systems because now we have social media which operates as a business.
From this exercise, you will develop Part I – Current System Narrative which repeats much of this, BUT focuses on problem(s), dysfunction(s), error(s), in the business/social system. A thorough management analysis (gap analysis) is required.
Use:
What (product-service),
Where (location, cloud, etc.),
Why (does it exist, what function-purpose does it serve?),
When (does it work, do what it says it does?),
Who (clients, customers, B2B, etc.), and
How (major business functions).
Describe your “System” and use Churchman’s System’s Approach as a guideline as well (see below). Try to stay around 2-3 pages. You may or may not include IT dys-function?
