with TransaXional Problem Solving
Following a process shouldn't be hard...
But somehow, it is. Your teams are frustrated, the work isn’t getting accomplished, and it’s impeding your progress. You’re not sure which part of the process isn’t working. You’ve looked at the data, asked each part of the team, and all you get is finger-pointing and no clear path to resolution. You don’t have to scrap the process or the team.
You just need a different approach. With TransaXional, you can:
Find the issue
Eliminate the back and forth. TransaXional will identify what’s going wrong and outline actions to resolve it.
Unite your team
Getting on the same page and having a unified understanding of the process helps everyone see how their piece impacts the whole puzzle.
Streamline your process
Review and improve redundant steps while maintaining the functional aspects of your process.
Improving teamwork together
TransaXional is trusted by brands like
Stop the confusion
and streamline your processes
When processes fail, interdepartmental relations do too. Everyone feels like someone else didn’t do their part. Typical process resolution methods don’t unify all the parties involved. They tend to add more work with workarounds that burden everyone. Stop adding more steps and start focusing on what must go right.
- No more finger-pointing and blame
- No more additional check steps
- No more lack of understanding the process
- No more living with process interruptions
the TransaXional approach
What Must Go Right, not just "what's going wrong"
TransaXional looks at business processes in a similar way to technical ones. Rather than looking at all the possible ways a process could go wrong, we focus on what must go right to achieve the desired result. It’s a subtle but impactful shift. TransaXional incorporates not only the what, but also the why. It helps to bring inter-departmental teams together so everyone understands not only what happens but why it happens and when it happens. It helps to bridge the gaps that many SOPs (standard operating procedures) seem to create.
What makes it different?
The Framework, the tools & the Mindset
Detail
The Framework
DETAIL is the 6-step framework TransaXional employs to strategically identify and resolve the critical functions not being met by your current process. This framework allows teams to go through a structured activity to refine existing processes to meet their functional needs.
Functional Analysis
The Tools
As businesses grow and evolve, the processes used often are modified, expanded, changed, or merged with new processes. In these changes lies the potential for errors. TransaXional tools focus on the functions your process must perform and identify which function isn’t being met even when your process steps are being followed.
What Must go Right
The Mindset
When something goes wrong, our instinct is to ask “what went wrong?”. And often times, that works to resolve the issue. But when it doesn’t and we’ve insured that our instructions were followed and the standards were met, our mindset has to shift. We begin to look at the “Why” behind the failure by focusing on what must go right. It simplifies our list of potential solutions and we are able to prioritize corrective actions.

From the Case Files:
Prototype parts picking Errors
Project Background:
A Shainin client has an initiative from top management to focus on improving the quality of their product launches. Recently they’ve been experiencing build errors caused by incorrect parts, requiring them to rebuild prototypes multiple times.
The Challenge:
Delays in prototype builds are impacting their ability to have on-time, trouble-free launches.
The Assignment:
Expose the critical function(s) that is causing delays in the prototype builds.
The Result:
The team discovered breakdowns in the design change process that delayed parts ordering and resulted in delayed prototype engine builds.
As a solution, the team created a formal escalation and approval process for design changes that would negatively impact the prototype build schedule.
Resolve the Disruptions
Two ways to Resolve
When business processes malfunction, the disruption can be felt by more than just one team. It has a potentially large impact on multiple parts of your business. And it doesn’t have to continue. There’s another option. In fact, there are two options to start resolving the process issues that derail your timelines and disrupt your productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is transaXional?
If you have been rigorously following your standards and you’re still having problems, you need a different approach. TransaXional focuses on what has to go right to uncover the hidden causes of failures in your business process
Why is it called TransaXional?
We developed this methodology specifically for business processes. These processes are typically transactional in nature, in that they detail how specific business transactions should work. TransaXional is a distinctly different set of tools when compared to our other methodologies, but the principles are the same.
What types of processes can it be used on?
Any process in your business where the metric of interest is not physics based.
How long does a project take?
TransaXional can be used at different levels of scope, from company wide to a specific problem in one department at one location. Nevertheless, the initial steps of risk assessment and function modeling may usually be completed very quickly, measured in days or weeks, not in months. From there, the scope of the project and the support of the organization in implementing solutions will determine the time to project closure.
How can we ensure it's effective for us?
The most successful TransaXional projects are those with cross functional teams who can help build a common and complete understanding of the process in question. With this foundation, the team is able to make rapid improvements to the process.
