Process Discovery Assessment

A structured approach to discovering & delivering business process transformation and change.

The Challenge of Transforming Operational Processes

A Process Discovery Assessment is a powerful tool to base sustainable change and transformation. It’s quite incredible but the majority of business transformation projects fail to live up to expectations.

Transforming operations isn’t easy and involves risks that needs to be offset and managed carefully. Most importantly, true business transformation and real innovation – the kind that delivers new customer experiences and performance levels or achieves new levels of efficiency, requires a structured approach to deliver the results.

In our 35 year history of successfully helping businesses to transform and innovate, we have found that transforming operational processes is never a simple case of buying some cloud service or new technology.

An astonishing 70% of Business transformation projects fail.

Process Discovery Assessment – Our Approach to transformation

We have developed a formal Business Process Discovery assessment to help understand, plan and deliver sustainable process transformation and innovation with every customer. Our Discovery Assessments are typically carried out by a qualified Business Process Analyst.
Typical areas covered include strategic and project objectives through to operational procedures and specifics such as SLA notifications, rules, interactions between systems and humans.
The end result of a Process Discovery Assessment should be an accurate view of the “as-is ”situation, identified gaps, as well as a recommendations of “to be” state which will include aspirational processes and designs.
A Process Discovery is all about fact finding and best practice change and process management. It is a necessary foundation of any successful project.
The result is a comprehensive Statement Of Requirements (SOR) to form and guide any Statement of Works (SOW), Proposal or Proof of Concept prototype .

Process Discovery Assessment – Key Features & Principles

Our Process Discovery assessment is based on the following key principles and foundation for successful transformation:

Understanding Business context, plans and aspirations

Understanding operational process, people and systems in detail

Understanding & Mapping operational process and relations with people and systems in detail

Identifying gaps to address and exploring possibilities and opportunities in a structured and transparent manner with the customer.

Any recommendations are based on a detailed understanding of the customers’ business and their operations, their business goals and priorities, the latest market and industry trends and best practice, Technology and process expertise.

Open acceptance of any proposals backed with a business and implementation plan, a project managed delivery and implementation using our expert teams and best practice processes
