Welcome to the August 2023 edition of the BusinessOptix newsletter!
In this edition of the BusinessOptix newsletter, we dive into the “Design” phase of an organization’s transformation or optimization journey.
During the Design phase, certain BusinessOptix capabilities are used to build, shape and manage your target future state, whether that is for a specific project, business or support area, or your organization's new operational model.
The key areas you might address during the design phase are as follows:
- Design Optimal Future State Processes
- Link to Target Operating Models
- Reference Global Master Data (Systems, Roles, Locations and more)
- Capture Metrics and Performance related data
- Gather Requirements and User Stories using Forms
- Generate the Business Case for Transformation
- Support Change Management using Kanbans and Dashboards
If you need help with any of these features, please take a look at our Academy courses in the first instance. If you have a specific use case you need guidance on, please speak with a member of the BusinessOptix team to discuss your use case and we can assist you on how to best to achieve that in the platform.
Design: Creating a Foundation for Measuring Success and Progress of a Change Initiative
The design phase establishes a foundation to measure transformation success and progress.
- Engaging stakeholders within BusinessOptix to gather requirements ensures alignment with business and employee needs.
- Metrics and performance data, captured against processes, will help you evaluate process effectiveness and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
- Modeling current and future state in the platform adds transparency, revealing benefits, costs, and risks for informed decision-making.
- A robust business case for change is generated to inform stakeholders and garner support and commitment.
This phase sets the stage for effective change management, fostering successful transformations through transparency and collaboration. Empowering your associates to embrace and drive the changes will propel your business towards its optimal future state aligned with the company's strategic goals and vision.
In our blog, we dive a little deeper into contextualizing changes and linking them to the Target Operating Models to drive transformation.
