Today, let's explore the difference between the AS-IS model and the TO-BE model in BPM. Can anyone tell me what AS-IS means?
AS-IS means the current state of a process, right?
Exactly! The AS-IS model identifies how business processes currently operate. Now, what about TO-BE? What does that refer to?
TO-BE is how the process should look after improvements.
Correct! TO-BE represents the envisioned future state. Now, why is contrasting these two models important?
It helps in identifying problems in the current process and planning for improvements.
Great point! Always remember: 'You can't improve what you can't see.' Let’s summarize this. The AS-IS process analyzes current operations, while TO-BE focuses on proposing solutions.
Now that we understand AS-IS and TO-BE, let’s discuss the benefits of modeling a TO-BE process. Why is it beneficial?
It can help automate tasks and reduce delays.
Absolutely! Automating tasks can significantly speed up processes. What other benefits can we think of?
It helps align the processes with business goals?
Yes, aligning with business goals ensures that the processes are effective. Let's recap: TO-BE modeling maximizes efficiency and promotes operational clarity through automation and alignment with goals.
Let's move on to a practical example of the TO-BE process. What does a TO-BE scenario look like when improving workflows?
It typically involves using a digital system to streamline approvals.
Exactly! For instance, in the case of leave requests, how does the TO-BE process differ from the AS-IS?
In the AS-IS state, a leave request is mailed. In the TO-BE, it's submitted via a portal, allowing for automated notifications and approvals.
Great observation! Automating notifications and approvals can drastically reduce delays. Remember, effective TO-BE processes lead to better employee satisfaction and operational efficiency.
From AS-IS to TO-BE, changes we see, automate the task, for improved clarity!
In a busy office, the leave approval process was a maze of emails and delays. But with a new portal, requests flowed effortlessly and approvals came in an instant, saving time and stress.

Process of using technology to automatically execute tasks and processes.
This section describes the TO-BE process modeling, highlighting its purpose and comparing it with the AS-IS state.
The section focuses on the TO-BE process modeling which outlines the proposed future states of business processes. It emphasizes the benefits of redesigning workflows from an AS-IS state to a TO-BE state, featuring an example scenario to illustrate effective automation and improvements in efficiency.
In the realm of Business Process Modeling (BPM), understanding the distinction and transition between AS-IS (current state) and TO-BE (future state) processes is crucial. This section elaborates on the TO-BE process modeling, which focuses on improving the flow of operations by eliminating inefficiencies identified in the AS-IS model.
Designing a TO-BE workflow not only aligns with the organization's goals but also identifies new tools, roles, or enhancements needed to foster more efficient operations.
