Developing models for new business unitsBuilding a winning model
The WISDM method works for developing business models, too. We helped a team of employees at a U.S. Department of Energy laboratory develop the winning model for the William R. Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, one of only three of its kind in the world. A spin-off to success
A natural gas company wanted to leverage its knowledge to develop a futures trading subsidiary. Financial, operational, and technical people under the direction of a WISDM consultant developed the blueprint they needed. It defined the subsidiary’s customers, business processes, and information flows and guided creation of an organization structure. The model allowed the company to hire staff, document procedures, and install infrastructure ahead of schedule. Off to the right start
A global bank hired WISDM to help employees define requirements for a new line of business that would let them handle accounts receivable for their customers. The team developed product, operational delivery and information systems requirements and acceptance criteria. It also managed the formal inspection and review of the specifications by both bank staff and the development vendor. Managing complexity
A team of employees from six U.S. Department of Energy laboratories used the WISDM method to develop a model of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program which designs, builds, installs, and operates meteorological data-gathering stations around the world. The team also wrote requirements for the computing center and software to process, store, and disseminate the data to meteorological scientists, who use it to build mathematical models for weather prediction. Matching technology to problems Improve existing business unitsHelping set standardsWISDM helped an insurance
company standardize the operations of its 26 HMOs.
Medical staff and businesspeople from each region developed
a model for functions that could be performed corporate-wide
or customized for different regions. The model also defined
a standard process for each HMO to provide corporate executives
with knowledge needed to effectively manage the operation
Integrating across functionsThe WISDM method showed a main-frame computer company how to re-engineer its manufacturing process, including the information systems that support manufacturing. The resulting model completely integrated financial, strategic planning, resource management, quality inspection, and component assembly functions.
