Process Architecture Workshops
Designing the System Before We Build It
Process Architecture Workshops are focused, decision-making sessions where we work together to design how HubSpot will actually support your business.
These are not exploratory conversations or abstract planning meetings.
They are structured working sessions that produce clear, documented decisions about how your data, processes, automation, integrations, and reporting should work.
We don’t begin configuration or implementation until this phase is complete.
That’s intentional and it’s one of the biggest reasons our projects move faster with fewer surprises.
Why This Step is So Important
Most CRM challenges aren’t caused by bad configuration.
They’re caused by unclear decisions, misaligned processes, and assumptions made too late.
Process Architecture Workshops exist to:
-
Create clarity before any build work begins
-
Align HubSpot to how your teams actually operate
-
Prevent rework, over-automation, and adoption friction
-
Support long-term scalability and measurable ROI
This phase protects both delivery velocity and business outcomes.
What We Design Together
Workshops are tailored to your business, systems, and level of maturity. Not every engagement includes every workshop, but all workshops connect into a single, cohesive architecture that governs how HubSpot functions across teams.
Think of this as designing the blueprint before construction starts.
1. Foundation Workshops
Establishing Trust, Data Integrity, and Scalability
These sessions establish the technical and data foundation required for reliable reporting, automation, and adoption.
You’ll see these workshops if:
You need cleaner data, clearer lifecycle definitions, or confidence that reporting can be trusted.
Typical sessions include:
-
Project Kickoff
-
Systems Walkthrough
-
Data Modeling
-
Native integrations
-
Data mapping and lifecycle definitions
-
-
Custom Integration Workshop or API Scoping & Feasibility
What this gives you:
A stable foundation that supports everything built on top of it.
2. Optimization Workshops
Aligning HubSpot to Real Business Processes
These workshops focus on how work actually happens across your teams. This removes friction, manual effort, and ambiguity.
You’ll see these workshops if:
Teams struggle with adoption, inconsistent processes, or unclear ownership across the funnel or customer lifecycle.
Typical sessions include:
-
Pre-Sales Process Design
-
Lead Management & Routing
-
Sales Pipeline & Forecasting
-
Add-Ons, Renewals, and Expansions
-
Post-Sales & Onboarding
-
Customer Support
-
Customer Success
What this gives you:
Processes that match reality and not theoretical workflows.
3. Acceleration Workshops
Enabling Insight, Visibility, and Growth
These sessions focus on advanced reporting and strategic enablement for leadership and RevOps teams.
You’ll see these workshops if:
You need executive visibility, advanced analytics, or a roadmap for future growth initiatives.
Typical sessions include:
Reporting & Analytics Design
What this gives you:
Clear insight into performance today and direction for what’s next.
What You’ll Walk Away With
At the conclusion of the Process Architecture Workshops, you receive approved, implementation-ready documentation, including:
End-to-end process and architecture diagrams
Data models and lifecycle definitions
Automation and integration design plans
Reporting requirements and success metrics
Documented decisions and assumptions
These outputs become the single source of truth for implementation, training, optimization, and future enhancements.
What Results Look Like by Workshop Type
After Foundation Workshops
- Clean, governed data models
- Clear lifecycle definitions shared across teams
- Documented integration requirements that reduce risk
After Optimization Workshops
- Processes aligned to how teams actually work
- Reduced manual effort through intentional automation
- Higher adoption by removing friction and confusion
After Acceleration Workshops
- Executive-ready dashboards and reporting frameworks
- Advanced lifecycle and attribution models
- A clear roadmap for future RevOps and growth initiatives
How This Phase Protects Your ROI
By making decisions early and documenting them clearly. These workshops:
Every configuration decision that follows is intentional, defensible, and tied to a business outcome.
How This Fits Into Your Larger Growth Journey
Process Architecture Workshops support HarvestROI’s broader optimization framework, which helps clients evolve their HubSpot environment over time.
That framework includes three stages:
-
Foundations – Establishing trust, adoption, and scalability
-
Optimization – Aligning HubSpot to real business processes
-
Acceleration – Enabling advanced RevOps and growth initiatives
The workshops included in your engagement reflect both where you are today and where you want to go next.
