In today's complex business landscape, understanding and optimizing every step of your operations is crucial for success. While traditional workflow tools provide a valuable framework for sequence, they often lack the depth to truly map the dynamic interactions within your business. This is where Action Management comes in, and Verbs.do is leading the way.
Businesses are a constant flow of actions: a customer purchases a product, an employee updates a record, a system processes an order. These actions aren't isolated events; they involve specific entities performing and receiving them. Understanding the relationships between these actions and entities is the key to unlocking true efficiency and identifying hidden bottlenecks.
Action Management goes beyond simple task lists or rigid workflows. It's a comprehensive approach to defining, tracking, and analyzing every action performed within your business processes. Instead of just mapping steps, you define the verbs – the actions themselves – and connect them to the nouns – the entities (customers, products, users, etc.) involved.
This structured approach allows you to build a detailed and dynamic Operational Graph. Imagine a map of your business where every node represents an action or an entity, and the connections show how they interact. This graph reveals the actual flow of operations, not just the intended path.
Traditional workflow tools are excellent for defining a linear sequence of tasks. However, they can struggle with:
Verbs.do is a revolutionary platform designed specifically for Action Management. It provides the tools to define and manage every action in your business, creating that invaluable operational graph.
Here's how it works:
Define Actions: You define actions with precision, specifying the subject (the entity performing the action), the object (the entity receiving or being acted upon), properties that describe the action (like quantity, price, or status), and the potential effects or consequences of the action.
import { Action } from 'verbs.do';
const purchaseAction = new Action({
name: 'Purchase',
description: 'Customer purchases a product',
subject: { type: 'Customer', required: true },
object: { type: 'Product', required: true },
properties: {
quantity: { type: 'number', default: 1 },
price: { type: 'number', required: true },
discount: { type: 'number', default: 0 },
paymentMethod: { type: 'string', enum: ['credit', 'debit', 'paypal'] }
},
effects: [
{ type: 'decreaseInventory', target: 'object.id', amount: 'quantity' },
{ type: 'createOrder', data: { customerId: 'subject.id', productId: 'object.id' } }
],
logging: true,
analytics: true
});
Connect Entities: Link actions to the specific entities involved. This builds the crucial relationships within your operational graph.
Track and Log: Every instance of an action being performed is logged, creating a detailed audit trail and providing the data needed for analysis.
Analyze the Operational Graph: Visualize your business processes as a dynamic graph. This visual representation immediately reveals bottlenecks, redundant steps, and areas where efficiency can be dramatically improved.
