Summary

In modern enterprise management, complex business processes and changeable market environment make enterprises need a more flexible and efficient management system. Celedog Res. proposed the concept of Business Operating Brain Elements (BOBE), aiming to build a "neural network" of enterprises through modular management units. In this article, we will elaborate on the definition, characteristics, and importance of BOBE, as well as future research directions.

Introduction

Everything in the universe is made up of 94 chemical elements, forming the colorful world as we know it. So, can the operation management of various enterprises also be composed of a fixed number of basic elements? Is it possible for an enterprise to be composed and operate like a neural network, with various basic elements (neural network elements)?

Celedog Res. is dedicated to exploring this question. Pass by Celedog Res. Researchers collaborate with universities, research institutes, networks of management scientists and digital technologists in the corporate world for a long period of time, especially in the context of the rise of the composable enterprise theory, where we believe that a business can indeed be made up of a combination of elements. These elements are called Business Operating Brain Elements (BOBE), which are similar to the basic chemical elements that make up everything in the universe and are the basic building blocks of a combined enterprise.

Through the fundamental study of business management neurons, Celedog Res. aims to reveal the basic building blocks of enterprises. Our research focuses on identifying and defining these fundamental elements with a view to constructing a theoretical framework that enables companies to efficiently process information, make decisions, and adapt to changing external environments through a combination of these fundamental elements, just like neural networks. Each essential element not only works independently, but also works closely with the others to form an efficient and dynamic enterprise "neural network".

PART1 BOBE Definition and Importance

In the operation of a modern enterprise, the entire process from the identification of customer needs to the final satisfaction of customer needs can be regarded as a complex business flow. This traffic flow is similar to the signaling and processing processes in neural networks. According to this line of thinking, the "neurons" of an enterprise can be defined as key nodes in the business flow, each of which involves specific roles, resources, tasks, and outcomes. These nodes work together to deliver and process information to ultimately fulfill customer needs.

1.1 BOBE Definition

Business Operating Brain Elements (BOBEs) are key nodes in an enterprise business flow, and each node assumes specific functions, including roles, resources, tasks, indicators, inputs, and outputs. These nodes work together to form a "neural network" of the enterprise to achieve efficient management and operation. Each BOBE includes the following elements:

Figure 1: BOBE element composition

- Role: The person or team that performs the task on this node.

- Resources: the means of production, tools, equipment, information, space, funds, technologies, and other resources used by the role on the node.

- Tasks: A specific activity or action performed by a character on a node.

1) Process: The specific operation process followed by the node.

2) Rules: the relevant rules used by the node.

3) Decisions: Technical/managerial decisions (or reviews) made at this node.

- Input: The information or material received by the node.

- Output: The result of the processing by the node is passed to the next node.

- Metrics: The criteria used to evaluate and measure the performance of the node. For example, KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), OKRs (Objectives and Key Results).

Example: Demand forecasting

Through these elements, BOBE is able to operate independently and work closely with other nodes to form an efficient and dynamic enterprise "neural network", that is, Biz-Agile® management system.

1.2 Main features of BOBE

Modularity, interoperability, adaptability, and measurability are the four important characteristics of BOBE.

(1) Modularity: Each BOBE should be able to be operated, analyzed, optimized, and replaced independently

In the design of BOBE, modularity is one of the fundamental features of the Biz-Agile® management system. Each BOBE is an independent unit with complete functionality and well-defined interfaces, designed as an independent, analyticable, optimized, and replaceable module, allowing it to run independently and be called by other modules without affecting the normal operation of other modules. The benefits of modularity are:

- Independent analysis: Each BOBE module can perform performance analysis, fault diagnosis, and functional testing independently. This independence simplifies problem localization and resolution, and improves the maintainability of Biz-Agile®.

- Independent optimization: By optimizing a single module, the efficiency and performance of the Biz-Agile® can be improved. For example, the data processing module can be algorithmically optimized to increase the speed of data processing without the need for large-scale changes to the Biz-Agile®.

- Stand-alone replacement: When a BOBE module needs to be upgraded or replaced, it can be done without affecting other modules. This flexibility enables the Biz-Agile® to be highly scalable and sustainable.

In addition, modularity can also improve development efficiency, as different teams can develop different modules at the same time, speeding up the project.

(2) Interoperability: BOBEs should be able to connect and work together to build an efficient Biz-Agile® management system

BOBEs should be able to connect and work together to build an efficient Biz-Agile® management system. This means that each BOBE should have a standardized interface and communication protocol that enables it to interact and transmit data with other BOBEs. In order to achieve interoperability, the BOBE system design needs to consider the following aspects:

- Standardized interfaces: Each module needs to have a well-defined, standardized interface protocol to ensure seamless connectivity between different modules. These interfaces should include aspects such as data formats, communication protocols, and invocation methods.

- Compatibility: BOBE modules should have good compatibility and be able to adapt to different enterprises, business models, products and services, hardware platforms, operating systems, and programming languages. This compatibility ensures the broad applicability and flexibility of Biz-Agile®.

- Collaborative work: Each BOBE module should be able to work together efficiently to form a unified workflow. For example, the order processing module and the inventory management module should be able to synchronize data in real time to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of order processing.

(3) Adaptability: BOBE should be able to adapt to changes in the external environment and the needs of internal development

BOBE should be able to adapt to changes in the external environment and the needs of internal development. This means that each BOBE should have a certain degree of adaptability, able to self-adjust and optimize in response to changes in the environment and needs. Include:

- Environmental changes: BOBEs should be able to respond quickly to external factors such as market changes, regulatory adjustments, and technological advancements. When the external environment changes or internal requirements change, BOBE can automatically adjust its own behavior and strategy, thus maintaining the stability and efficiency of the system. For example, when market demand changes, the marketing module should be able to quickly adjust marketing strategies and means.

- Internal needs: As the enterprise grows and expands its business, the BOBE system should be able to flexibly adjust and expand. For example, when a new business unit is added, the corresponding BOBE can be quickly added and seamlessly integrated with the existing system.

- Dynamic configuration: By supporting dynamic configuration, BOBE can be adjusted according to actual needs without the need for stalled maintenance of commercial Biz-Agile®. This dynamism ensures high availability and continuity of Biz-Agile®, as it helps businesses better meet the challenges and opportunities of the future.

(4) Measurability: The effectiveness of each BOBE should be quantifiable for evaluation and continuous improvement

The effectiveness of each BOBE should be quantifiable for easy evaluation and continuous improvement. This means that each BOBE should have a complete set of performance indicators and evaluation methods, so that it can be accurately evaluated and optimized, and the bottlenecks and optimization space of the system can be better understood, so as to make effective improvements and optimizations. In addition, measurability can also improve the predictability and reliability of Biz-Agile® because it can help organizations better plan and manage resources. The key to measurability is:

- Performance metrics: Define specific performance metrics for each BOBE module, including processing speed, response time, resource utilization, and failure rate. These metrics should reflect the actual health and performance of the module.

- Monitoring tools: Deploy advanced monitoring tools to monitor and collect data from each BOBE in real time. These tools should be able to provide detailed performance reporting and analysis to inform decision-making.

- Feedback mechanism: Establish an effective feedback mechanism to feed back the performance evaluation results to the development and O&M teams to guide subsequent optimization and improvement work. Ensure that Biz-Agile® is always in the best shape through continuous feedback and improvement.

1.3 Importance of BOBE

As the basic building block of enterprise operation and management, BOBE plays a key role in improving enterprise flexibility, optimizing business processes, strengthening innovation, and enhancing adaptability and controllability. The following points illustrate the importance of BOBE in enterprise operation management:

1.3.1 Enhance enterprise flexibility

Biz-Agile® enables each module to be run, analyzed, optimized, and replaced independently through the BOBE modular design. This flexibility allows companies to respond quickly to market changes and internal demand adjustments without the need for large-scale changes to the overall system. For example, when an enterprise introduces a new technology or faces changes in market demand, it can quickly adjust the functions and configurations of the corresponding modules to ensure that the enterprise always maintains a competitive advantage.

1.3.2 Optimize business processes

Through standardized interfaces and interoperability, BOBE modules can work together efficiently to form a unified, orchestrated, and composable business process. Seamless connectivity and data sharing between modules eliminates information silos and optimizes the coherence and efficiency of business processes. For example, in the integration of order processing and inventory management, BOBE is able to ensure real-time data synchronization, reduce errors and delays, and improve overall operational efficiency.

1.3.3 Strengthen innovation

Biz-Agile® greatly facilitates innovation within the enterprise through modular, interoperable, and adaptive design. The independence and replaceability of each BOBE module enables enterprises to test new technologies and methods locally, reducing the risk and cost of innovation. Standardized interfaces and good compatibility promote cross-departmental and cross-team collaboration and innovation. For example, R&D teams can quickly experiment and deploy new algorithms or tools without affecting the normal operation of other business modules. This design enables companies to continue to innovate and innovate their business models to stay ahead of the market.

1.3.4 Enhance adaptability

BOBE is designed so that it can adapt to changes in the external environment and the needs of internal developments. This adaptability is reflected in two aspects: on the one hand, the BOBE module is able to adapt quickly to changes in the market, regulations and technology; On the other hand, with the development and expansion of the enterprise, the BOBE module can be flexibly added or adjusted to support the introduction of new services and the expansion of existing services. This adaptability ensures the company's continued competitiveness in a dynamic environment.

1.3.5 Improve controllability and optimization

The measurability of BOBEs allows the performance of each BOBE module to be quantified and evaluated. Through detailed performance indicators and monitoring tools, enterprises can understand the operation status of each BOBE module in real time, identify system bottlenecks and optimize space. This controllability and optimisability provides data support and guidance for continuous improvement, ensuring that business operations are always at their best.

1.3.6 Support digital transformation

In the process of enterprise digital transformation, BOBE, as the basic building block, can effectively support the integration of various digital applications and technologies. Through flexible BOBE composition and configuration, Biz-Agile® can quickly adapt to the introduction and application of new technologies, helping enterprises realize the transformation from traditional to digital operating models. For example, in the financial and manufacturing industries, BOBE has been successfully applied to the digital transformation in the fields of R&D and IT management, and has achieved remarkable results.

In summary, the importance of BOBE is reflected in its overall improvement in enterprise agility, business process optimization, enhanced innovation, adaptability and controllability, and its key role in supporting digital transformation. Through the BOBE system, enterprises can better respond to market changes, optimize internal management, improve operational efficiency, and achieve sustainable development and innovation.

PART3 BOBE portfolio and corporate structuring

3.1 Combination principle of BOBE

The combination of BOBEs is similar to how nodes and connections are in a neural network. Each BOBE assumes a specific function in the operation of the enterprise, operates independently and works in synergy with other BOBEs. With a reasonable combination of BOBEs, enterprises can form an efficient operating system, similar to the signaling and processing processes in neural networks.

Business operations from the perspective of neural network systems

From the perspective of neural network system, the enterprise operation system can be decomposed into the following key links:

- Information reception and processing: Information starts from the identification of customer needs, and is transmitted and processed between various neurons (i.e., BOBEs) through product design and other links. Each node processes the information specifically to suit its mission needs.

- Resource scheduling and usage: Each node allocates and uses resources according to the needs of its tasks to ensure that tasks can be successfully completed.

- Result transfer: The output of each node becomes the input of the next node, forming a continuous flow of information and matter throughout the business process.

Enterprise neurons (i.e., BOBEs) as dynamic information processing systems

By defining the enterprise as a dynamic information processing system composed of neurons, or BOBEs, we can gain a deeper understanding of the nature of business operations. In this system, each neuron (business node, i.e., BOBE):

- Perform a specific role and be responsible for a specific business function.

- Use specific resources to support the execution of their tasks.

- Perform specific tasks in response to received input and produce the expected output.

- Produce specific results that not only end the task of their own node, but also provide a starting point for the input of the next node.

This view of the enterprise as a system of neurons, or BOBEs, helps us optimize the operational processes of the enterprise and improve the synergy between the various parts. Just as neurons in a neural network drive the operation of the entire network by connecting and collaborating with each other, each business node (BOBE) in an enterprise has its specific functions and interactions that work together to propel the enterprise toward the goal of meeting customer needs.
