Make data visible
Information can be considered in its structured context.
Expert topic · Transparency
Make data and processes visible in daily operations.
When data and process steps are considered separately, their meaning in day-to-day operations can be harder to trace. Operational data transparency connects both perspectives and makes visible which information is needed at each stage of an operation.

01 · Data
Put information into context
Clean, structured data provides a more traceable foundation for information.
02 · Processes
Consider operations
Process steps and handovers show the context in which information is used.
03 · Transparency
Make relationships visible
Data and processes are described together so that operational questions can be put into clearer context.
Operational view
Transparency needs data and process context.
Data alone does not explain how an operation works in day-to-day practice. Its relationship to processes, handovers and tasks makes operational context possible.
FORCE therefore describes transparency as a connection between data and processes. The concrete view follows the particular system landscape and available information.
Transparency model
Put information into operational context.
This page focuses on the relationship between structured information, process context and operational review.
-
01
Structure data
Information is considered in a way that keeps its structure and context traceable.
-
02
Connect processes
Data is connected with the operations, tasks and handovers in which it is used.
-
03
Put operational questions into context
The shared view of data and processes supports discussion of relationships in daily operations.
Functional context
Relationships rather than isolated information.
Create process context
The use of information is linked to the process steps to which it belongs.
Discuss decisions
A traceable view of data and processes provides a basis for operational discussions and context.
In focus
Questions about operational transparency.
This page does not describe a specific interface, metric or real-time view. It explains the functional relationship between data and processes.
- Which information is relevant to a process step?
- In which context is data used in daily operations?
- Where do data, tasks and handovers meet?
- Which questions should be discussed through a shared view?
Frequently asked questions
Put operational data transparency into context.
The answers describe transparency as a functional connection between data and process context.
What does operational data transparency mean?
Operational data transparency means making data and processes visible and traceable in their relationship so that day-to-day questions can be put into context.
Why are data and processes considered together?
Data receives its operational meaning in a process context. Tasks, handovers and the system landscape help put that meaning into context.
How can transparency support decisions?
A traceable view of information and operations provides a basis for discussing operational relationships and decisions. The specific decision remains context-dependent.
How does transparency relate to data flows?
Data flows show how information is handed over between tasks, teams, platforms and systems. Those handovers are an important part of the process view.
When does operational data transparency become relevant?
It becomes relevant when data and process steps are viewed separately or when participants interpret the same process status differently. A shared operational view makes visible which information is needed at each point in the operation.

Let us put data and processes into context together.
An initial conversation can consider information flows, process steps and the questions for which a more traceable operational view would be useful.
