Process transformation initiatives consistently face the same challenge. On the one side, there is a constant need to deliver results, fast. On the other, a need to get an accurate and detailed understanding of how things work today so that the changes made deliver the value that is expected.
The challenge: How do you get an accurate and detailed understanding of the as-is as quickly as possible?
For many of our customers, the most accurate reflection of how their processes actually work is stored within their procedure documents.
That’s because procedure documents are the things that those on the ground rely on to get their job done. They are the first port of call for new joiners. It’s where the workarounds that allow the process to work across different systems live.
And it’s buried in all these detailed steps that real automation and business process improvement opportunities hide.
The strength of procedure documents for those on the ground - their flexibility of structure, their ease of updating and storing and their often quicker sign off routes - is also their weakness for process transformation teams.
Documents tend to be aimed at one person or team’s role within a process - not the end to end. Their formats often change team to team and process to process. The level of detail varies. The different tools and systems used are buried in descriptions.
They might be rich in content, but the inaccessibility of this content means that they’re often overlooked by transformation teams challenged by the need to move fast.
