DIY? Or...
Meet the FM Standard?
Flow Management is an open standard
In some service management software tools, Flow Management functionality can be self-developed. We facilitate this by sharing high-level detail of the Focus Framework because our aim is to improve support services as widely as possible. You might choose to involve us, or choose a partnered service tool product, however, for various reasons:
Generally
​
-
Our apps, and product features developed by service tool software companies who have partnered with us, meet the Flow Management standard, of being "Flow Verified".
-
Unverified DIY implementations might lack credibility as an operational, business, and recruitment asset.
-
Detailed specifications and flow verification criteria are not shared with the FM community.
-
We provide comprehensive baseline audits reporting on the imperative for Flow Management and against which the extent of improvement can be gauged.
-
We specialise in managing the divisional and organisational change, for a naturalised transition.
-
We specialise in Standard Operating Procedure team manuals which should underpin the change, optionally expanded to cover all principle, policy, process, and procedure considerations for a team, not only those surrounding Flow Management.
Activity Prioritisation
​
-
AP includes much more than just appropriate sequencing of activity. 40 features are specified in the complete standard, plus 12 Status Flow Metrics for operational insight.
-
Our BoK includes three dozen standard and non-standard lifecycle statuses to choose from depending on the nature of your support organisation. 12 are universal. For timeliness, a full set is important.
-
We provide advice for the many interactions that AP has with other FM practices, including Advanced AP and Perfect Prioritisation, to establish the ideal service system for your organisation.
-
AP is patent pending in the USA, requiring a license for commercial use (licensing is free for internal development and use, upon request).
Contribution Recognition & Team Performance Management (TPM)
​
​125 features are specified in the standard, plus 14 Activity Flow Metrics.
