Our Methodology
for Business Process Improvement
Our methodology starts with the assessment of your current business processes. This step is typically followed by a deep discovery and analysis phase to probe into the root causes driving the process complexity, followed by change management, an implementation, and an optimization plan.
1 Assessment
Through primary and secondary research, this assessment digs into each of your datasets, transactions, and processes to probe into the root causes driving the process complexity and the stakeholder's analysis of the personas and departments impacted by the change.
3Solution Analysis
This step digs into the potential solutions, whether they might be process-related or system, and evaluate their pros and cons. This step also performs the financial and technical feasibility of each solution, as well as identifying a solution that is most financially realistic and agreed upon by all parties.
5Adoption and Optimization
Post implementation, this step measures the desired KPIs and process compliance and adoption in the post-implementation phase. Any deviations? The appropriate steps are taken until the processes are able to hit the KPIs desired.
2Business Process Analysis
This is a deep dive into the as-is and to-be process models, along with the workshops with each stakeholder who might be impacted because of the change. Once all the stakeholders are aligned on the to-be state of the processes, the solution phase begins.
4Implementation
Depending upon the complexity of the change, whether the change is simply a process or data change. Or a full-blown digital transformation initiative, the length of this phase could vary.
