Foundational free Patterns
Establish a case-based mindset
Remove batch-processing and periodic activities from your business process
Reduce the number of contacts with customers and third parties
Design business processes for typical cases and isolate exceptional cases from the normal flow
Order knock-outs by least effort and highest termination probability first.
Consider whether activities may be executed in parallel
Consider to deepen or broaden the skills of resources
Start implementing actions that can offset or counterbalance the environmental effects generated by business processes that cannot be changed.
Offer customers the possibility to serve themselves
Experience-based task assignment
Delegate task according to experience: execution frequency, case involvement, interactions
If capacity is insufficient, consider increasing the available number of resources
