Business Process Review
Our first interaction with a new client involves a ‘Discovery Workshop’, otherwise know as a full Business Process Review (BPR), which enables our team to understand your business and the urgent requirements and needs. Following on from the session, we will provide a comprehensive pack of systemised information to show the process visually for review and confirmation that we have captured them correctly and receommended next steps
The Importance of the BPR:
1. Improved Productivity
Research suggests that over 40% of employees spend at least a quarter of their week on manual, repetitive tasks such as email, data collection, and data entry. Implementing a technological change or a custom application can automate these repetitive tasks, and employees can reallocate time to core aspects of their job.
2. Enhanced User Experience
76% of managers feel that companies need to reengineer their user experiences, bringing people and technology together in a more human-centric way. In its recent attempt to become a metaverse company, Facebook aims to leverage advanced technologies such as AR & VR to merge the physical and digital worlds like never before, changing the very nature of human interaction at every front – from gaming to work.
3. More Agile
Flexi-processes are critical for staying competitive in the market. Business process improvement focuses on implementing flexible processes that are easy to deploy and adapt as your business needs evolve.
4. Cost Reduction
Process improvement methodologies result in lower resource requirements and reduced waste by finding solutions to generate the best process output. These methodologies allow businesses to save on expenses such as unplanned overtime and premium shipping costs, resulting in substantial savings.
5. Compliance
With changing business requirements, the regulatory standards also change. Ensuring your employees are prepared requires regular compliance training, which becomes difficult without help from external experts. With process improvement techniques, third-party consultants thoroughly document all compliance-related policies, procedures, and internal controls. Building compliance into your new business processes allows you to prevent unnecessary penalties & fines.For example, Google undergoes independent verification audits of its security, privacy, and compliance controls, to maintain global standards. It works continuously to improve its business processes and associated compliance offerings.
6. Reduced Cycle Times
Adopting process improvement methodologies such as the Kanban model helps companies deliver value to customers quickly. Additionally, by eliminating waste and improving communication and collaboration, process improvement leads to faster delivery cycles.
7. Improved Quality
In addition to accelerating product development, business process improvement can also improve product quality. For example, by deploying proper testing methods, organizations can ensure that products will advance to the production stage only after the performance, security, and other issues are resolved.
