The AXIOM Framework:Your roadmap to automation
AXIOM is the only framework that promotes (hyper)automation in your company in a sustainable and strategic way.
26 methods, a detailed manual, numerous templates (draw.io for diagrams, canvases, maps + Notion for documentation and other tools), inspiring guiding questions, useful prompts, a knowledge architecture, workflows for continuous optimization, and much more.
The framework combines classic methods from business process management with innovative techniques from creativity research, automation practice, and the use of generative AI. The following methods and tools guide the phases of the framework, supplemented by application notes, instructions, and practical tips.
AXIOM was developed based on 15 years of experience in automation and leading specialist literature on business process management, hyperautomation, sales automation, innovation, Industry 4.0, creativity, digital business, and AI ethics. It combines structured analysis with creative exploration, state-of-the-art technology, and concrete economic benefits.

Knowledge architecture
The scaling and sustainable anchoring of automation solutions is a central element of the AXIOM framework. The aim is to ensure that once solutions, methods, and findings have been developed, they are not left in isolation, but are systematically documented, made accessible, and continuously passed on. This documentation, stored in AXIOM libraries (see below), is available to your company for continuous optimization.
