Our solution
The canvas and engine platform for every integrated administrative organisation
Principle
Our principle is based to use the Business Rules Canvas to simplify current and future business processes in a sustainable way. We do this by connecting one or more current main systems within an organisation, or by offering the organisation a completely new platform.
The requirements and wishes of the business processes are modelled by the organisation itself in the Business Rules Canvas. In the Business Rules Engine, these business processes are executed automatically. This results in a holistic transaction and workflow management solution. This also applies to future requirements and wishes.
The Business Rules Canvas guarantees, together with the possibly already present main systems:
1. an integral change management solution
2. a robust solution for all business processes
3. a connecting organisation
Overall view of administrative organisation
In the canvas section of SixBlocks’ Business Rules Canvas and Engine platform, everything comes together in an integral manner:
- designing the overall floor plan
- placing the right memos on the memo board with the six blocks
- working out the detailed business rules in the six blocks
The engine part is the application that follows with an automated workflow management for the entire administrative organisation.
The six blocks of the
Tables
Rules for the definitions of attributes
Algorithms
Rules for formulas/algorithms to register results
Validations
Rules for condition, error and probability checks
Interfaces
Rules for import/export connections and correspondence
Mutations
Rules for historical registration of transactions
Processes
Rules for detailed steps of tasks including workflow management and audit trail
Inspiration by the Business Model Canvas
The Business Rules Canvas can be compared with the Business Model Canvas.
The life span of a business plan is limited. Drawing it up is already quite a job, and when it is finished, it is not easy to work according to the plan. After all, the world around us changes quickly.
The canvas model helps you with this. It is a handy tool to quickly see where opportunities lie. So you can continue to grow and innovate. It is a simple model that you can adjust at any time. Like a ‘beer mat’, but well worked out.
The same applies to business processes and the corresponding ICT platform. The Business Rules Canvas is the solution for this.
The Business Model Canvas has been rolled out internationally and embraced by virtually every organisation with innovative business models. That is absolutely right! Our aim is to roll out the Business Rules Canvas internationally and have it embraced by virtually every organisation with innovative business processes plus innovative business models.
We are convinced that with small steps, ‘think big – act small’, we will succeed!
Plan
The first level of the Business Rules Canvas is the plan.
The plan of the business rules consists of clusters and cells that are connected to each other. Around them, the main systems present are linked. They describe the market segment, the products and the services of the entire administrative organisation.
Business rules
The third and last level of the Business Rules Canvas are the business rules.
The details of the business rules are worked out per memo of each memo board. It can be seen as colouring in the symbols on a colouring page. This means that the explicit meaning of the business rules becomes clear.
Engine
Employees of the administrative organisation are integrally involved in working out the plan, the canvas and the details of the business rules. As a result, they are fully committed and give their input from the perspective of the end customer.
The final result of the implementation of the Business Rules Canvas is an application with a fully automated workflow management. This application can be used directly by the entire administrative organisation and for the end customer.
This application is driven by the Business Rules Engine. All changes always fit in the business rules of the six blocks. The moving visualisation with the six blocks symbolises this principle. With this way of thinking and working, a suitable solution can be devised, worked out and implemented for every change.
