8 Omega a business change framework conceived to aid organizations in the transformation and improvement of their business processes.  8-Omega addresses 4 key perspectives:

• Strategy
• People
• Process
• Technology

While 8-Omega considers technology as a key perspective, it also ensures that technology is not overemphasized within business process transformation by considering it within the context of the other 3 perspectives.
Additionally, 8-Omega transitions through 8 stages or lifecycle phases, hence its name.  Each of the 4 key perspectives is considered throughout every stage or lifecycle phase.  These phases are:

• Discover
• Analyze
• Design
• Integrate
• Implement
• Manage
• Control
• Improve

For those analysts that are familiar with the 5 DMAIC phases of Six Sigma, these phases will look similar.  That’s not a big surprise since both are frameworks or methodologies for improving and designing better processes.
