Business model and process improvements
"We’ve been really struggling with our customer services operation for some time. The way it works doesn’t make sense. It needs a fresh approach and I don’t have the skills or bandwidth in my current team to get this done quickly."
Director
Often, our customers find they need to reconsider the way their business model or processes work. Over time, as a result of different initiatives and improvements, their way of working has adapted and as a result, executing current strategy and initiatives may no longer be the best way of doing things.
Developing As-Is and To-Be models of your current environment, along with process mapping, are often skill sets that are only held within the IT department. Projects such as these sometimes require the involvement of an impartial outsider. Our customers tell us that we are particularly good at getting the right input from all the involved parties and then ensuring everybody understands the new approach/model or process. This is because we have developed ways of:
- Getting effective engagement and support from users and other key stakeholders
- Minimising the calls on their time
- Understanding the right questions to ask and the detail needed to allow decisions to be made
- Knowing the right level of definition that is required in the final To-Be process or design
- Ensuring that everybody understands the end result and its impact on the way they need to work
"The stores have fed back that this was the best prepared structure change ever, that they have felt involved in the process and that the changes are long overdue. The mentoring that i-Realise provided to manage the project was invaluable to its success."
Dave Downer, Project Manager, Homebase
