With an Event-driven SIPOC model to transparent Agentic AI

Events in an Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) are used to model business processes, particularly in the context of workflow management.

EPCs can serve as a framework to design, visualize and manage the behavior of Agentic AI systems, helping to define their responses to events, the logic behind their decision-making and how they can autonomously adapt to changing conditions.

In the context of Agentic AI, which refers to AI systems with the ability to act autonomously and make decisions, an EPC could be useful in several ways:

1. Modeling Autonomous Decisions: EPCs could be used to map the decision-making process of an AI agent, illustrating how it reacts to various events, what actions it will take and under what conditions. The events can trigger specific functions and based on the AI’s learned knowledge, certain pathways could be chosen to achieve its goals.
2. Workflow of Agent Behavior: Just as an EPC models business workflows, it could model the behavior of an agent. For instance, an agent might encounter an event (e.g. a change in environment or a new goal) and then based on that event, it could execute different functions (like recalculating strategies or adapting its behavior). The EPC diagram could represent different workflows an AI agent might follow in different contexts.
3. Dynamic Adaptation: The EPC could represent how an agent modifies its actions over time based on new events or changing conditions. For instance, an agent could encounter an unexpected event, and the EPC could show how it shifts from one process to another, such as altering its goals or adjusting its strategies.
4. Monitoring and Debugging Agent Behavior: By using an EPC to document the processes an agent follows, it could become easier to monitor and debug the AI’s decision-making and behavior. This could improve transparency in autonomous systems and make it easier to audit the logic behind an agent's decisions.
5. Multi-agent Systems: In a more complex environment involving multiple agents, EPCs could be used to describe the interaction between different agents and how they respond to various events within the shared system. This could help in coordination and collaboration between agents.

In the SIPOC model, the stakeholder sphere encompasses your suppliers, customers and other stakeholders. It focuses on how you interact with your key partners e.g. in the supply chain (SCM) and in customer relationships (CRM) and the influence you have on each.

The data sphere defines the sources of raw data and the recipients of processed or transformed data, ensuring information flows efficiently through the system.

The value of your data comes from its context within processes and most importantly its relevance to human decision-making and action.

The process sphere is the backbone of your value chain, supporting both your business model and strategy. It also ensures transparency in your activities, providing visibility to all stakeholders.

A SIPOC model & process map form the foundation for a transparent and observable operating model, showing both the current and future states to all stakeholders.
