Are you looking to do more with less? Do you need a more effective business process?
PROCESS STANDARDISATION
A need to better manage what work is being done.
- Business is being lost due to customer dissatisfaction with slow processing of orders, policies, requests for quote, etc.
- Visibility into causes of processing problems is inadequate, and it is difficult to identify which processes could be improved.
- Transactions require multiple steps as well as links to different systems, e.g. databases, applications.
- Significant time spent identifying and working on exceptions, but the quantity and causes of exceptions are poorly understood.
- Service levels are frequently missed, and transactions may actually be lost.
- There is no visual documentation of how processes occur, e.g. activities, sequences, decisions.
KNOWLEDGE WORKER PRODUCTIVITY
- A need to better understand who is performing the work and how.
- Manual tasks are not always performed accurately or consistently, but manual workloads are increasing rapidly.
- What people are actually doing at any given time is not very clear.
- It is difficult for employees to collaborate effectively on the documents they are processing.
- The cost & time required to train employees is too high.
- Highly-productive employees are overburdened while lower-skilled employees are often idle.
- There is limited data to indicate how to reduce bottlenecks caused by work assignments, flows, and escalations.
PROCESS AGILITY & VARIATION
- Do you need a better way to implement, support, and change business processes:
- Business opportunity is being lost because leadtime for new projects is too long, largely due to IT request backlog.
- There are frequent changes to business policies, and each change has to be made by request to IT.
- Line of Business & IT do not communicate clearly with each other, causing friction over requirements and a failure to meet expectations.
- Product and service release dates are being missed.
