Design Strategies<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\nDesign strategies guide WEST governance in developing processes and establishing solutions for enterprise system issues. The design strategies are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Develop solutions that establish or maintain standardization<\/strong> in administrative business processes and technical designs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Strive for solutions that do not add additional complexity <\/strong>into our business processes and technical systems. Simplify further when possible. Focus on the following: \n
\n- Establish “just enough complexity”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Maintain flexibility where it doesn’t increase complexity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Consider the complete end-to-end business process<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Highlight where added complexity will drive additional cost and weigh against the potential benefit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
