Breaking Barriers in Business Process Transformation with AI

Open Group Inc., based in Minato City, Tokyo, has proudly announced the launch of the beta version of its AI agent service, OroSee. This innovative tool is designed to help organizations streamline and visualize business processes while automating the identification of improvement targets. The introduction of OroSee arises from the recognition that many companies face bottlenecks during the initial stages of business transformation.

Background: Understanding the Initial Bottlenecks in Business Transformation

In the realm of digital transformation and comprehensive business reform, organizations often encounter challenges that halt progress before they even begin. Specifically, they face three major obstacles:
1. Extensive Time and Human Resources Needed for Data Collection: Gathering relevant information through interviews is both labor-intensive and time-consuming, making it difficult to even initiate projects.
2. Variability in Output Quality: The quality of deliverables often relies heavily on the experience and expertise of individual team members, leading to a discrepancy in data collection and analysis.
3. Difficulty in Quantifying Results: Organizations struggle to define improvement goals and justify return on investment due to the qualitative nature of data derived from subjective assessments.

Addressing these issues is crucial for accelerating reform initiatives. By integrating AI into these initial phases, Open aims to reduce the reliance on human resources while simplifying the process of business visualization and thereby expedite the start of reform projects with OroSee.

What is OroSee?

OroSee is an AI agent service that automates the organization and visualization of business processes and the identification of improvement targets. Traditionally, the data collection phase required a significant investment of both time and human resources. With OroSee, AI takes on the role of conducting interviews and gathering relevant data, enabling organizations to achieve objective and data-driven business analyses in a cost-effective and timely manner.

Value Offered by OroSee: Accelerating the Initial Stages of Transformation

The value proposition of OroSee revolves around three key features that primarily enhance the initial stage of business process review:

1. AI-Driven Business Hearing

OroSee utilizes AI to conduct interviews about various business processes. This approach allows for rapid information gathering, significantly reducing the human and time costs typically associated with these tasks. The AI ensures that data collection is objective and uniform, eliminating the biases often seen in human-led interviews.

2. Automated Workflow Generation

Using the collected information, OroSee can instantly visualize complex business workflows, allowing organizations to standardize previously informal processes. This unification not only aids in documentation but also serves as a foundation for shared understanding and continuous improvement discussions.

3. Quick-Win Map Automation

The AI analyzes business process data to evaluate improvement impacts and challenges quantitatively. This information is presented in a visual Quick-win map, helping stakeholders identify high-impact, feasible improvement opportunities while facilitating agreement on prioritization.

Positioning within Project Advancement: Quickening Initial Steps

In order to facilitate smoother project advancement, OroSee streamlines the workload associated with the initial phases of business reform, specifically focusing on research implementation and deliverables preparation. By leveraging AI technology, OroSee reduces lead times for these initial actions, enabling faster decision-making and initiation of reform projects.

Features of the Beta Version and Future Development Plans

The ongoing beta version of OroSee includes the above-mentioned features, along with a function that prevents missing data in interviews and a custom business knowledge feature. For the official release, Open is actively working on incorporating additional functionalities such as the existing document input feature, interviewer selection, research design support, interactive deliverable modifications, follow-up interviews, and screen-sharing capabilities for detailed interviews.
