The golden age of painting in Holland spanned roughly a century, between the mid-1500s to the later part of the 1600s. The prominent artists of this age included Johannes Vermeer, Paulus Potter, and Frans Halstronie, among others. An incredible attention to detail marked the work of these Dutch masters. The subjects of their paintings included everyday life, portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, maritime painting, still life images, and foreign lands. Their outstanding works of art resulted from a process that entwined deep observation and the application of fine artistic sensibilities on a variety of media such as wood and canvas. In the modern day, flowcharts represent an echo of such mastery of detail. The transactional flowchart represents a prime instance of an illustrative device that “depicts all the activities in a process, from beginning to end.” Essentially, a person can deploy transactional flowcharts to sketch a pictorial representation of each activity that animates a system or process.
An effective transactional flowchart must depict each task in terms of the flow of its inputs and outputs. This depiction allows readers and observers to access a quick snapshot of the many micro narratives that comprise a system or process. The designers of transactional flowchart may add a level of visual complexity by attempting to depict any relationships between each task, the actors that drive such interactions, and the outcomes thereof. For instance, a transactional flowchart depicting the operation of a grocery store must feature all in-store actions prior to the opening for business. A separate section of the flowchart may sketch the processes wherein customers interact with the store environment at different levels. This instance of a transactional flowchart clearly demonstrates its use as a document for relevant business processes.
The decision to design a transactional flowchart must echo an active acceptance of the design possibilities enshrined in the use of digital technologies. Pursuant to this, the designers of flowcharts may deploy automated design packages to create, locate, and animate the proverbial nuts and bolts of a transactional flowchart. An interesting variation to the orthodox tenets of flowchart design emerges when the connectors inside such an illustration are tasked to depict inputs, sub-processes, and outputs. This instance of a transactional flowchart informs and illuminates readers at various levels including a high-level view of a system or process. The use of digital technologies empowers designers to assign multiple meanings to the connections between the stages of such a flowchart. Consequently, observers can read different levels of meaning when they undertake a deep dive into the construction of the diagram. The foregoing technique spotlights the use of digital technologies in the creation of a modern flowchart diagram.
Sea-borne transport remains one of the major sinews that powers the operation and expansion of global commerce. Massive container ships represent the proverbial legs of this mode of commercial transportation. However, the interaction of these huge vessels with seawater leads to a degradation of the underlying structure of these ships. This counterproductive phenomenon represents a bottleneck that impedes the velocity of commercial operations in modern times. Similarly, the flow of actions depicted inside a transactional flowchart may face impediments arising from certain exceptions, delays, flaws in processes, etc. In response, designers may etch corrective actions inside the diagram. However, they may elect to retain traces of the original flaw or drawback inside the diagram with the intent to document the subsequent refinements. Such a flowchart serves to spotlight the opportunities for improvement that may exist in various other processes.
Small business operators working to establish a presence in competitive markets may design a transactional flowchart with a view to manage growth. The various stages inside the flowchart may include the abbreviated components of a business plan, the methods to raise capital from a variety of sources, building commercial relationships, investing in business infrastructure, developing trade networks, defining expectations, etc. The structure of such a transactional flowchart may contain a central depot that headlines the mission in question; a series of stages can emerge on both sides of the central depot to denote the stages mentioned above. In developing this flowchart, the intelligent entrepreneur may develop lines of connection between the multiple stages. This makes for a visually complex diagram that, nonetheless, allows us to comprehend the motives and actions that power the creation of a small business enterprise.
Heavy and incremental doses of complexity attend the operation of the many aspects of the modern financial services industry. Multiple players such as banking institutions, brokers, distributors, customers, regulators, stock exchange authorities, foreign participants, etc. represent some of the moving parts in this industry. A transactional flowchart can help an observer to understand the multiple lines of interaction between said actors. This illustration essentially emerges as a distributed diagram that hinges on clusters of activity that generate specific outcomes. A clear comprehension of the complicated operations that power this industry is one of primary benefits that emerges from such a flowchart. In addition, this diagram retains an element of flexibility that allows designers to incorporate new actions and actors as deemed appropriate. This depiction of a transactional flowchart retains value because it allows the lay observer to gain insights into the operations of a complicated services-driven economic behemoth.
A high-level view allows for critical interventions and eases attempts to re-engineer a system or process. The transactional flowchart offers significant scope for constructing high-level views; such a diagram may appear as a circular structure that imitates the appearance of a hexagon. Each point in this structure may represent a stage that interacts with its immediate neighbor. The various stages may depict banking institutions, merchants, consumers, card networks, payment aggregators, etc. An observation of this diagram empowers readers to gain an appreciation of the two-way interactions between each stage in this transactional flowchart. Additional information appended to the connectors in this system apprises us of the many levels of interaction and functionality inherent in the depicted system. This diagram also enables lay readers to gain an appreciation of the complexities that bear the potential to evolve into a finely balanced financial services system.
The foregoing paragraphs have sought to examine some of the applications and benefits that issue from the use of a transactional flowchart. This form of an inter-connected diagram bears the potential to help design newer versions of extant systems and processes. Each stage in such a flowchart may emerge as the location for new actions, interactions, sub-systems and sub-processes. Attention to detail can empower designers to create new lines of interaction and exchange between the different points of a transactional flowchart. However, designers must exert caution in terms of defining the limits of these diagrams. This caution stems from the fact an endless depiction of constituent processes and sub-processes may confuse readers and observers. An effective counter emerges in the creation of smaller flowchart diagrams created with a view to depict additional processes. These diagrams can be designed on a digital canvas for the benefit of readers and observers. The latter may zoom in and out of the digital flowchart as they navigate the various levels, layers, and depictions constructed into the master diagram. These actions should allow modern designers to tackle higher levels of complexity that will attend the creation of systems and processes in the future.
