Process Redesign for Agents

Before an agent takes over a process, the process is taken apart: what falls away, what an agent can do and what stays a human decision. Automating a bad process only makes it faster.

What we look at

From the process you have to one an agent can run.

First, what falls away

Many steps exist because a system could not do something years ago. Those go before anything is automated, because the cheapest step is the one that is no longer needed.

Then the split between agent and person

Every remaining step gets an owner: the agent, a person, or the agent with a person approving. That split is the actual design work, and it is what governance later enforces.

Finally the handovers

Where the agent reaches its limit, a person takes over with context. Defined handovers are what make an autonomous process safe to run.

What you receive

Four results, one process at a time.

Process map, today and target

The process as it runs now, next to the process as an agent will run it, step by step.

Decision split

Per step: agent, person, or agent with approval, with the reason and the risk noted beside it.

Handover & escalation rules

Where the agent stops, who picks the case up, and with what context.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Process Redesign for Agents

What is Process Redesign for Agents?

The design step before an agent is built: the process is taken apart, unnecessary steps are removed, and every remaining step is assigned to an agent, a person, or an agent with human approval. The result is the brief the agent is built from.

Why not simply automate the process we have?

Because the agent inherits every workaround. Processes grow around old system limits, and automating them cements the limits while making the wrong thing happen faster.

What does it cost?

A fixed price per process. It is always coupled to an agent, because a redesign with nothing to run it is a document rather than a change.

How large is one engagement?

One process, deliberately. The scope is cut so that the result can be built and put into operation, instead of waiting for a programme to finish.

What happens with the result?

It goes straight into Custom Agent Development as the specification, or into the Industry Agent Library as the configuration, and from there into operation under Managed AI Agents.
