Role Modeling is for organizations which are
 | trying to keep pace with change |
| uncertain about who does what in the organization |
| uncertain about what processes to employ |
| requiring greater stability in interactions with customers and suppliers |
As a process analysis and design tool, Role Modeling helps complex organizations:
| clarify and reach consensus on the distribution of responsibility |
| simplify project management. [see How] |
| track accountability and measure progress toward enterprise goals [see How] |
| respond rapidly to changing conditions. [see How] |
| capture organizational and process knowledge useful for educating new employees and team
members |
As an organizational development tool, Role Modeling
| resolves cross-organizational issues. [see How] |
| builds strong collaborations based on mutual respect and understanding. [see How] |
| instills a vested sense of responsibility. [see How] |
| provides an understanding of how individual, team, and group efforts contribute to and
impact overall goals and processes [see How] |
Role Models
| stay at the right level of detail to maintain the attentiveness of the participants [see
Domains] |
| inherently permit implementation to proceed
 | iteratively - the models can be refined as the effort evolves |
| incrementally - functionality can be added as needed without "breaking" the
model |
| integratively - models from overlapping domains combine easily |
|
| stay valuable and current from cradle to grave of their problem domain |
For example, Role Modeling has been used to
| identify the the roles, responsibilities and processes invlovled in creating and
maintaining a corporate web presence. |
| develop effective sales-order processing and fulfillment |
| manage the complexity of Computer-Integrated Manufacturing |
| quickly establish the requirements for a new project and the distribution of
responsibilities among the project team |
