Business Assessment

Planning a process improvement initiative?  A Business Assessment is the ideal way to get started. You'll get a comprehensive report that includes options for deployment.
We also recommend a business assessment for organizations planning the following:

*  Balanced Scorecard Implementation
*  ERP, CRM or IMS Implementation
*  Establishment of a process based Business System
*  Certification to Standards, such as ISO 9001:2000

Our initial onsite visit takes one to three days, and includes: 

  • Briefing with leadership team members to provide 
        an overview of the visit.
  • Individual interviews with staff knowledgeable about
        the processes.
  • In-depth tour of the operation.
  • Identification of core and support processes within the
        organization.
  • Determination and designation of ownership for those
        processes.
  • Upon completion of our visit, you receive a
        comprehensive scope map of your business that 
        details our findings.

    We then prepare an accurate and detailed plan that will help you achieve your goals and objectives. This plan includes:
  • an agenda
  • a calendar of events and
  • a detailed project timeline
        This vital step establishes a foundation for successful deployment.


        Business Assessment Deliverables

        System Model
        A scope of the business enterprise system.

        System Map
        A complete “roadmap” of the processes, showing their interrelationship and connectivity to customers, suppliers and other corporate operations.

        System Opportunity Matrix
        A list of “critical” business opportunities uncovered during the business assessment. Enables leadership to target improvement projects and/or roadblocks to success.

        Process Owner Identification
        A complete list of logical process owners who will be the key active members of the implementation team to ensure the successful and effective deployment of the enterprise system.

        Implementation Plan
        A comprehensive project deployment plan, which will also incorporate other specific requirements.

        Leadership Review
        A detailed review with the leadership team will conclude the Business Assessment. We review the findings, the system map, the process owner list and any issues that may have arisen. Finally we will strategize on the deployment plan that will include roles and responsibilities and the expected resources and time that will be dedicated to the successful deployment of the system.
