Business Process (BP) Agility is the ability of an organization to quickly adapt and modify its business
processes in response to changes in the market, customer demands, technology, or regulations — while
Lean-agile processes
Asuccessful business today is both lean (without waste) and agile (flexible and fast). Data and analytics
Lean methods help businesses improve their processes, reduce waste, and even support eco-friendly (green)
strategies.
Big companies often have a lot of waste — for example, in how they manage their inventory or supply chains.
They can save a lot by using Lean methods and adding AI and analytics to their processes. By measuring
things properly, training people, and using smart technology, they can work more efficiently.
Agile thinking also helps a company become lean. Analytics (data-based tools) make processes faster, more
accurate, and allow quicker decisions. This helps to identify and remove unnecessary steps from a process.
Agile helps teams build better and faster solutions. But it’s also important that users and stakeholders can see
what’s being built while it’s being built, not just at the end.
Agile makes this possible by showing business processes and data models clearly and early. Tools like
Kanban boards show progress in real-time, so team members and other stakeholders can see what’s
happening and give feedback. This keeps everything clear and transparent for everyone involved.
Change management
Agile methods don’t fight change — they embrace it. This mindset helps a lot when companies are updating
Instead of making one big change, Agile encourages small changes over time. These changes are clear to
Integration solutions
AI-powered solutions are often complex and need to work with many other systems, tools, devices, and
networks.
Agile methods support this by allowing teams to create prototypes (early working versions) with APIs
(interfaces) that help different systems connect and work together. This makes it easier for teams — and even
When businesses add AI to their processes, they must make sure everything works properly. This includes
checking:
1. Descriptive Analytics
2. Predictive Analytics
3. Prescriptive Analytics
* **Visualization** means showing data in a way that is easy to understand, like graphs, charts, or dashboards.
* It is very important because no matter how good the data analysis is, if it’s not shown properly, people won’t
understand it.
Visuals must fit well on all devices – mobiles, tablets, laptops, etc., because every device has its own screen
size and features.
If data changes fast, the visuals must also update quickly to show the latest information.
4. **Amount of Information:**
Don’t show everything at once. Show only what is important for the user on that screen.
Some information is useful only for a few seconds; it can be shown with big, colorful images. Other
information can stay longer in summary format on dashboards.
Users should be able to choose how they want to see information (for example: with sound, color changes, etc.).
Automatic displays without user control reduce quality.
7. **Testing:**
First, test the 20% features that 80% of users use most. Later test the remaining features.
Visuals can show detailed, medium, or summary-level data depending on the need (data-to-decision flow).
th
9 11 list the important device consideration for
performance of device in visualization
### **Device and Performance Considerations in Visualization (Easy Words)**
When showing data and visuals (like charts, graphs) to users, we must think about the type of device they are
using. Here are some important things to keep in mind:
1. **Size**
Devices like mobile phones and tablets are small and portable. So, visuals must fit well on small screens and
still be easy to understand.
2. **Security**
While making visuals attractive, security should not be forgotten. Devices must be safe from hacking, malware,
and unauthorized access.
3. **Privacy**
User privacy is very important. Only necessary visuals should be shown and for the right amount of time to
protect user data.
4. **Functionality**
Modern devices like smartphones have strong storage and graphics power. These should be fully used to show
colorful and rich visuals like photos and videos.
5. **Risk**
Devices can face risks like misuse or harmful software (malware). So, safety from such risks must also be
considered while showing visuals.
6. **Speed**
Apps must work fast on mobile devices. If they are slow, users get frustrated seeing loading icons. Making apps
small and able to work offline is helpful.
7. **Updates to Devices**
Visuals must be updated as devices and apps get new versions. Old versions should be replaced so that users
enjoy fresh, improved visuals and features.
th
10 change of mindset
Sure! Here's a simpler version of the passage you provided:
---
To use **AI and data** in a company, people need to change their way of thinking. Just having AI is not
enough—**employees must actually use AI tools to make better and faster decisions**. This change in the way
of working needs a **change in mindset**.
A company needs to be **flexible** so it can quickly adjust to outside changes like market demands or
customer needs. AI helps in this, but people also need to adjust their work style to match the new systems.
Different parts of a company like **marketing, finance, HR, vendor management, supply chain**, etc., will all
start working in new ways. The way they store and use data will change too, because they’ll now use cloud and
data analysis services. So, everyone—including customers and partners—will also need to adjust.
1. **Automation** – This makes simple, repetitive tasks faster and more accurate. It saves time and effort but
doesn’t change the way a business works deeply.
2. **Optimization** – This is a bigger change. It focuses on making important processes smarter and more
valuable. It requires people to solve harder problems and think differently. Optimization can change the
structure of the business itself.
**New technologies** like cloud computing, mobile apps, IoT, and Big Data help the company get better
results. But this only happens if the **right people use these tools properly and make smart decisions at the
right time**.
Making this happen is the job of the **leaders**. Leaders must guide people, help them learn, and make them
feel comfortable using these new AI-based tools and processes.
---
Optimization (improving processes) changes the structure of the company—like who reports to whom and what
tasks each person does. These changes require staff to:
2. **Plan for social and work changes** that AI might cause in the company.
5. **Design work processes around user needs**, not just company structure.
7. **Check and manage risks regularly**, like security, privacy, and system failures.
10. **Ensure data safety and privacy** while changing or updating systems.
---
In every part of a company—like **finance, customer service, supply chain, and HR**—people are the ones
who make decisions. AI and data can help these decisions become **faster, better, and cheaper**, but only if
people know how to use these tools properly.
It is the **leader’s job** to make sure people are comfortable using AI and to create the right work
environment. Success happens when **the environment and people’s behavior both support the change**.
For example, if an employee uses AI to successfully approve a customer loan quickly, the leader can share this
story across the company to encourage others to trust and use AI tools.
---
No matter how smart AI is, people may feel confused or unsure when starting to use it. Leaders must expect and
help reduce this confusion.
2. **Trust Issues**:
People only trust analytics if they feel these things are protected.
As AI handles more tasks, some staff may worry they will lose their jobs. These fears can slow down the
acceptance of AI—even if AI makes the company faster or saves money.
Different people, teams, or countries may accept AI differently because of their **work culture or beliefs**.
Leaders must keep this in mind.
5. **Rules and Laws (Regulations)**:
Every company must follow laws about **data privacy and security**. But sometimes these laws make it
harder or slower for AI to be fully used, especially when many companies or industries work together.
---
When a company starts using **AI and data-driven systems**, the **HR department** also has to change the
way it works in two main ways:
1. **Help the whole company handle the change** that comes with AI adoption.
1. **Performance checking** (how well employees work) will be done using data and analytics to make fairer
decisions about rewards and promotions.
2. **Hiring new people** will use AI to screen and select candidates more efficiently, without the need for too
many manual steps.
3. **Job roles and responsibilities** will change. HR must help people adjust, teach them new AI skills, and
guide them as their job duties change.
4. **New job roles** will appear—for example, roles that focus on using data and analytics for decision-
making.
5. HR teams must **adjust their own behavior and processes** as AI changes how they work.
6. There will be **more training and skill development** programs to make sure staff can use AI properly.
Skilled staff will also train and guide others.
7. Training will now cover **complete business processes**, showing how AI affects every step of the work
process, not just individual tasks.
---
1. **Understand and map out processes**—figure out how work gets done, who does it, and what tools are
used. Fix any areas where methods or teams are pulling in different directions.
2. Involve **end users and key staff** in the AI adoption process so they know what changes to expect and can
help shape them.
3. Teach business leaders to **handle new opportunities and risks** that come with AI.
4. AI and cloud systems make **remote work easier**—this brings new challenges like protecting data privacy
and keeping information secure.
5. AI affects not only tech but also **company culture**, communication, and relationships with suppliers,
customers, and stakeholders.
6. The company should **clearly explain the need for change** and show where AI can improve big business
processes.
7. Ensure all processes are **aligned and working well together**—this is called "process alignment" to reduce
conflict between methods or teams.
8. Make sure the company fits well with both its **own systems and with partners and customers** outside the
company.
