What is Process Taxonomy?

If you are looking for help and advice with Process Taxonomy, our consultants can help.

Process taxonomy is a valuable tool for organising information so it can be used efficiently. Taxonomy categorises and applies a hierarchy to content, processes, and data. This acts as a language to help create consistency of content management across business areas, locations, and media types. From this, businesses can analyse information and easily monitor usage statistics and trends.

Process taxonomy works by listing the relevant processes and categorising them, moving from broad categories to narrow ones and being organised based on a pre-decided hierarchy. Let us take some of the mystery out of this concept by talking to one of our team of experts about how we can help.

What format does process taxonomy take?

Process taxonomy can be broken down into a variety of structures. One method includes breaking the processes into 5 stages within the hierarchy.

  • Level 1: Overall function; this is typically the broadest stage, such as human resources as a department.
  • Level 2: Functional area, the first opportunity to categorise and the initial breakdown of process types, an example of this is recruitment.
  • Level 3: Process group, the establishment of the process types in a more individual way, such as employee joining process
  • Level 4: Process subgroup, which starts to focus on the activity type, such as recruitment and onboarding.
  • Level 5: Process title; this is the stage where individual processes are identified and listed, an example of this is staff induction.
