Business

Spread Awareness
Start by announcing the project. Then,
explain the steps you will take to
successfully embed the system and
educate your teams on why the
organisation is investing in such a system.
It’s a good idea to include staff members
from various teams as change champions
who can help spread the word about the
project.

Define Your
Strategic Objectives
There are plenty of reasons to
implement an integrated business
management system (IBMS), but you
should define your expectations and
what success looks like to your
organisation. Is it centralising data? So
there is a single source of truth? Maybe
it’s to eliminate inefficiencies so you can
reduce operational costs? Whatever it
may be, make sure that it’s measurable
and aligns with your company’s
objectives.

Design and Document
Your Ideal Processes
Ensure you incorporate any
compliance requirements and
industry standards while designing
processes. This will save you from
future rework. But be sure to keep
an eye out for duplication across
procedures. You may need to
redesign steps multiple times to
eliminate inefficiencies.

Implement New Processes
After defining your new processes,
it's time to put them into practice.
It may require training for some
staff members, and there may be
a learning curve as they adjust to
working with integrated
management software.

Conduct a Gap Analysis
Companies rarely get their new
processes and procedures right
on the first go. As staff members
get familiar with the IBMS, they'll
naturally begin finding shortcuts
and better methods of utilising the
platform.

Remediate Issues
If you've conducted a thorough
gap analysis, you should now
have a list of items to remediate. It
could be fine-tuning processes or
implementing tweaks to the
system to improve the user
experience.

Conduct a
Compliance Audit
While you might have had a
compliance lens over the entire
project, conducting an audit is
also the best practice. Ideally, this
should get completed by an
individual or a team not involved
with the initiative.

Monitor, Review, and
Improve
The final step is to implement a
continuous improvement
program. However, the project
doesn't end here. Once you have
implemented the IBMS, you must
ensure that the platform meets
your initial expectations and
goals.

Best practices for getting started with BPM

Sergio-Feliciano Mendoza-Barrera

The document provides 10 best practices for successfully implementing a Business Process Management (BPM) solution. The best practices include modeling existing processes rather than desired processes, taking an incremental approach by starting small, involving all stakeholders in development and testing, choosing a tool based on needs, selecting a champion, establishing milestones, providing prompt results, encouraging collaboration, measuring step-by-step results, and using professional services when necessary. Following these best practices can help optimize efficiency, improve profitability and ensure BPM implementations are positioned for success.

Managing model-driven applications

Thei Geurts

When implementing a new business application, most organizations feel they need to choose between “build” versus “buy”. Building your own application means everything is possible, but building complex applications is a risky venture. Buying a standard application provides all the advantages of pre-configuration, but has limited flexibility. Although most organizations prefer standard applications, they end up adapting them, leading to high cost of ownership, and long change cycles. However, a third approach has emerged, reconciling the differences between build and buy. Model-driven applications come with an out-of-the-box configuration, as would be expected of a packaged business application, yet it can be adapted without development effort. The main characteristic of a model-based application is that the business rules and business logic are not stored within the application, but are defined, stored and maintained in a user-accessible repository. Making changes in that repository then automatically leads to changes in the application. The paper focuses on strategy, organization and cultural aspects of managing model-driven business applications, such as Be Informed.

BUSINESS PROCESS REENGINNERING MODULE 4

POOJA UDAYAN

Business process reengineering (BPR) plays an important role in enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementations. There are two options for organizations implementing ERP systems - reengineer business processes before implementation or implement the ERP system with minimal changes and conform processes to the new system. ERP-driven BPR makes it easier to design process changes and leads to better implementation performance compared to not involving BPR. Key aspects of BPR in ERP implementations include developing an implementation plan, addressing employee training needs, and coordinating cross-functional changes.

The Power of Business Process Improvement

Business Book Summaries

IN THIS SUMMARY Most aspects of business equate to a process. However, those processes are frequently not as efficient or effective as they could be. Business process improvement or BPI can help companies demonstrate greater customer responsiveness, increase employee productivity, and become more competitive in the market. In The Power of Business Process Improvement, Susan Page describes a ten step approach to BPI that is pragmatic and focused on ease of use. To alert management about improved business processes, the author also recommends developing an executive summary document with six sections: project focus, goals, summary, key findings, deliverables, and appendix.

SAP and Change Management

Flevy.com Best Practices

Original article from the Flevy business blog can be found here: http://flevy.com/blog/sap-and-change-management/ As a “seasoned” Change Manager, I have been involved in many diverse projects focusing on managing the business aspect of technology implementations; e.g. ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics), Core Banking Systems, Business Intelligence, Case Working and Knowledge Management solutions, and the like. To this day, I continue to be asked why is there a need to have involvement from a Change Manager, because a technology implementation “is what it is” and once implemented, the business should just be able to “get on and work with it.” But, it’s not quite as simple as that, because if you break down the impact of a technology implementation on a business, it would go something like this: • It will change the way a business operates. • Key stakeholders will want and need to be involved and communicated with. • Processes will change. • Organisation structures will change. • The readiness of the business will need to be measured to ensure a smooth go-live. • There will be a need to train and educate people in new ways of working. • Business benefits as set out in the business case will need to be tracked. • Once people gain competence with the new technology they should be encouraged to continuously improve ways of working into the future. That sounds very simple, but actually it’s not, because all of these things involve people and they will need to have their expectations and perceptions managed. Technology implementations aimed at making an organisation more efficient have become larger and more critical in recent years and now represent a major challenge for organisations. Despite improved technical functionality and reliability there are still project overruns, delays and sometimes downright failure. Research continues to show that between 30% and 70% of technology implementations either fail to meet their targeted benefits or stall and/or overrun. Problems are typically not related to the system or to technical issues surrounding the software but instead are often due to business related issues. One of the main reasons cited for this failure rate is that projects are usually managed from a technical perspective by Project Managers who are driven by milestones and deliverables but lack the necessary “soft skills” to deal effectively with the people side of change.
