This SIPOC meta-governance model is the backbone of the governance operating model, because it defines the minimum complete structure needed for accountability, risk management & value creation across the AI value stream. 1. Suppliers governance model Governed Object: Data sources, model providers, tools, APIs, labeling services, infrastructure vendors, human contributors.

This meta model inverses Moore's Law towards human-centered AI-based tech solutions. Moore's Law (implicit objective): max dT / dt where T(t) = technological capability (Moore’s Law driver) & d(t) = rate of change Societal impact: - Humans adapt after the fact - Externalities are someone else’

Why Low Risks become High Risks ? Risk is not static. A 'low' risk rating at one point in time reflects current probability and impact but those variables shift as the business environment, technology, behaviors and controls change. Risk dynamics occur when: 1. Probability changes * External drivers (regulation, technologies,

A SIPOC model is vital to the design and deployment of an API for an AI agent solution because it brings structured transparency, alignment & control to a process that involves multiple stakeholders, high technical complexity and significant governance & compliance considerations. 1. SIPOC ensures full transparency across all stakeholders

Explainable AI (XAI) fits along the entire knowledge ladder, but its role becomes more important the higher you go. 1. From Data to Information XAI helps reveal what the AI is looking at. At this stage, explainability techniques show which parts of the input mattered. This is low-level interpretability, explaining

Judea Pearl’s Ladder of Causation defines three levels of causal reasoning: Rung 1 Association ('Seeing'): Passive observation & correlation analysis Rung 2 Intervention ('Doing'): Designing & running controlled experiments, applying do(...) actions Rung 3 Counterfactuals ('Imagining'): Understanding 'what would have happened if…

The SIPOC model perfectly aligns with reinforcement learning, supervised learning & cybernetic control principles. SIPOC is recursively fractal, i.e. each stage can contain another SIPOC. This recursive layering mirrors how complex AI ecosystems (like autonomous vehicles, digital twins or economic simulators) are structured as nested SIPOCs within SIPOCs. That

SIPOC as the Algorithm of the Value Economy If we restate the economic master algorithm using the value chain lens, SIPOC describes how value propagates through the economy: Valuet+1 = f(Suppliers,Inputs,Processes,Outputs,Customers) This value function chain models: - Creation of potential value (suppliers) - Transformation into

SIPOC (Suppliers>Inputs>Process>Outputs>Customers) models how any system transforms resources into value. This structure is so universal that it mirrors the underlying logic of all productive systems from a single workflow to the global economy. In essence, SIPOC abstracts the fundamental feedback loop that

SIPOC can be conceived as a methodology & framework for process modeling & mapping because as a methodology, it provides a systematic approach to define and analyze any process by focusing on its boundaries, stakeholders and inputs & outputs. As a framework, it supports integration (linking multiple processes in a

The TOGAF standard, short for The Open Group Architecture Framework, is a framework & methodology for developing, managing and governing enterprise architectures. TOGAF helps organizations design IT architectures that align with business goals, ensuring that technology, data, applications & business processes work together effectively. TOGAF provides the governance, structure &

The 20th century is often called the age of mechanistic medicine because it viewed the human body as a complex machine whose parts could malfunction and be repaired or replaced. This perspective led to the rise of highly specialized fields such as cardiology, orthopedics, ENT, ophthalmology & plastic surgery, each

Public contracting is the core process of value creation & risk exposure in government's New Public Management (NPM) from needs identification to procurement, delivery & post-evaluation. Historically, it suffers from fragmented accountability, poor feedback mechanisms, manual oversight and lost learning opportunities. A GRC-TQM-NPM-AI-SLA integrated management process framework aims

Here’s a summary of the new ISO 24495‑2:2025 Plain language Legal communication guideline mapped into a SIPOC process model (Suppliers > Inputs > Process > Outputs > Customers) to help with implementation. P1. Planning & Audience Analysis 1. Identify communication objectives and legal intent 2. Profile all

If your organization produces legal‐type documents (contracts, terms, forms, rights/obligations notices) and you want to ensure they are readable, accessible & understandable by non-legal audiences, then ISO 24495-2 is highly relevant. * Legal services & law firms: drafting contracts, terms of service, legal notices, rights/obligations documents * Government / public

In a balanced state–private economy, the value stream aligns public efficiency (minimum input) with private productivity (maximum output) through innovation, governance & feedback loops, achieving a dynamic equilibrium where economic and social returns are maximized with minimal resource use. The equilibrium f(minInput) = f(maxOutput) represents the point where

A SIPOC (Supplier>Input>Process>Output>Customer) process map provides an end-to-end process view, perfect for understanding how data and logic flow through a birth control prediction algorithm p(pregnancy/temperature) such as Natural Cycles or any other temperature-based fertility awareness model. A Quality Metrics Matrix

SIPOC process modeling can be enriched by applying lateral thinking tools as follows: 1. Frame the problem: decide what perspective the SIPOC is capturing 2. Deconstruct complexity: break the system into manageable SIPOC slices 3. Apply first principles: question each element’s necessity 4. Use cause-and-effect reasoning: map dependencies &

The Future Resilient Systems (FRS) programme is a major cross-disciplinary research initiative run by ETH Zurich together with Singapore through the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC). https://frs.ethz.ch/ Resilience is inherently cross-sectoral with the SIPOC map identifying the coalition of actors & stakeholders. AI can act as the “glue” across

On 23 July 2025 the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) issued a landmark Advisory Opinion on “Obligations of States in respect of climate change.” The SIPOC process map shows how a Planetary Health Roadmap could be operationalized globally, with each process reinforcing states’ legal and moral obligations under the

Here’s a clear side-by-side comparison of how your digital footprint differs with vs. without using an eID. Aspect Without eID With eID Identity Link Often tied to usernames, emails, or pseudonyms. Partial anonymity possible. Strong link to your legal identity. Actions are verifiable and traceable. Authentication Passwords, PINs, or

An eID (electronic identity) is a digital version of your official identification (like a national ID card, passport or driver’s license) used for online authentication, government services, banking, healthcare and more. Using an eID makes your digital footprint more formal, traceable and tied to your real identity. Here are

Insurance brokerage is the business of helping people & organizations find & purchase insurance coverage that fits their needs. Instead of selling insurance policies from just one company (like an insurance agent who works for a single insurer), an insurance broker acts as an independent middleman between clients and multiple

Stephen R. Covey’s 7 Habits Model is a framework for personal and professional effectiveness, introduced in his bestselling book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (1989). It’s designed to help individuals become more proactive, focused, and balanced in life and work. The habits are organized into three

The planetary limits sometimes called planetary boundaries are a scientific framework introduced in 2009 (and updated in 2015 and 2023) by Johan Rockström, Will Steffen, and colleagues. They identify the safe operating space for humanity on Earth, beyond which the stability and resilience of the Earth system could be at
