Can you link activities in new ways?

When and how to apply New / Different Links Between Activities:

Rather than changing which activities your company performs, this pattern is about innovating in how those activities are sequenced, connected, or integrated with one another. Activities that are traditionally performed sequentially, in isolated departments, or by separate external partners can sometimes be redesigned to run in parallel, share resources, or feed directly into one another - eliminating handoff delays, redundant work, or information loss between steps. This pattern often unlocks meaningful competitive advantage without requiring entirely new capabilities or resources, purely by rethinking your workflow architecture.

Well-known companies that use this pattern are Toyota and Zara.
