Readiness for the core transition
How far is your organisation from a WBS-based Economic Performance Architecture?
The Flowability Scan identifies what already works and what is still missing to replace the cost center’s economic steering function. It also assesses the availability of Economic Performance Information, readiness for a Human–AI Work Architecture with Human-in-the-Loop, and the foundations for Flowability.
Assessment dimensions
Visibility. Understanding. Ability to Intervene.
The scan examines an economically relevant relationship and tests whether the information and relationships required for effective steering are actually available.
Visibility
Are Economic Performance, Resource Consumption, economic states and transitions sufficiently visible?
Understanding
Can the origin of an Economic Impact be traced — or does analysis begin only at the point where the variance becomes visible?
Ability to Intervene
Is it clear where the economic trajectory can still be influenced in time and effectively?
Transformation relevance
The scan establishes the starting point.
- How strongly is current steering tied to cost centers and functions?
- Where is an economic address for Economic Performance missing?
- How is Resource Consumption currently attributed to Economic Performance?
- Which relationships have to be reconstructed manually?
- Which ERP and reporting structures already support the intended architecture?
- Where are prerequisites for the Human–AI Work Architecture still missing?
Outcome
No architecture before the evidence.
- evidence-based baseline assessment
- economic disconnects
- priorities for the core transition
- relevant system and reporting interfaces
- clear boundary between Stage 1 and later Flow Steering
- management decision on the next step
Positioning
The scan is an entry point — not the mission.
The core transformation is the economic replacement of cost-center-based steering with a WBS-based Economic Performance and Resource Architecture. The scan helps determine the right starting point for that transformation in a specific organisation.
