BPR Journal What is an IGOE?

Description

IGOE is an acronym for Input, Guide, Output, and Enabler. These are the basic components of any business process. The IGOE concept, like most things, is not completely new.

Separating the components of a process into Input, Guide, Output, and Enabler allows the analyst to focus on specific aspects of a process. For example, by strictly adhering to the definition of an Input as something that gets changed or transformed in some manner, an analyst can very clearly determine where value is created in the process, since value can only be created through a transformation of some kind. It also provides very clear definitions of where information is created, referenced, updated, and deleted (CRUD).
