why Business Process Modelling


Effective Business Process Modelling (BPM) is a game-changer for driving business outcomes—boosting sales, lifting profits, reducing costs, and empowering your workforce. Process-bility brings clarity to complex processes, uncovering actionable insights that eliminate friction, mitigate risks, and streamline operations. Serving as an “x-ray” for your organisation, effective BPM reveals how people, technology, and information interact, enabling strategic, well-informed decisions at every level—from the CEO to developers. Process-bility’s approach ensures BPMN models communicate with impact, turning complexity into clarity and driving real business value.

From Complexity to Clarity, BPMN made easy with Process-bility


Process-bility is a business modelling philosophy and technique developed and refined over 30 years by Kevin Tan.
It is based on three fundamental principles of:
1. Storytelling:
involves crafting a compelling visual narrative that conveys the flow of the process and how it fits within the broader context of the organisation.
2. Visual Balance:
emphasises the strategic use of colors and position of notation to create a visually pleasing and easy-to-understand model.
3. Simplicity:
is about using the "less is more" approach, focusing on the essential elements of the process and avoiding unnecessary complexity.

By embracing Process-bility, you’ll create process models that not only engage and communicate effectively but also empower your organisation to make strategic decisions, drive efficiency, and achieve lasting business value.

Thought Leader in Business Process Modelling:
I'm a thought leader in BPMN modeling. I've consciously dissected 30 years of my unconscious modelling techniques and mindset into Process-bility : an easy to understand, teachable framework for BPMN modelling.
Coaching and Success in BPM implementation:
The highlights of my career include being appointed as the BPMN-Signavio coach for National Australia Bank (NAB) and leading a team to roll out the Business Process Management framework for QBE Insurance.
Process-bility for everyone:
Every organisation can benefit from adopting Process-bility. I'm committed to sharing my knowledge, expertise and experience through webinars, social media microlearning, personalise workshops and one on one coaching. My goal is to empower you to develop your own Process-bility and help you achieve success in your organisation.
