FLOW, WF5, and Creative Problem Solving are used together by Digital Efficiency Consulting Group as a structured sequence for diagnosing workflow problems and designing operational improvements.
Each framework plays a different role in the process. Instead of relying on intuition or quick fixes, the three frameworks create a step-by-step method for understanding how work moves, identifying the source of friction, and developing practical solutions.
This sequence prevents organizations from jumping directly to solutions before the real problem is understood. Many operational initiatives fail because teams attempt to fix symptoms rather than the structural causes of workflow friction.
By combining these frameworks, DECG creates a diagnostic process that moves logically from observation to classification to solution development. Each step builds on the information gathered in the previous stage.
The final output of this combined process is the Efficiency Blueprint, which organizes the recommended improvements into a prioritized roadmap that leadership teams can use to guide operational change.
