Steps for Successful Business Process Transformation

Achieving a successful business transformation is not easy. Not all transformations are successful at improving performance and equipping the organization to sustain improvements over time. Here are a few suggestions for the successful business process transformation and how Alvarium helps to achieve this success:

Define goals for transformation

Establishing goals that align with the business vision is the first and foremost step towards a successful transformation

• Improve the time to value of the business process
• Reduce the cost of the process
• Simplify the process to make it error-proof

Collaborative discussion with organization and stakeholders

The organization’s ability to move forward requires a certain amount of control which is essential to ensure that the business is willing to adapt and has a genuine desire to develop further. A key part of the organization’s preparation involves stakeholders.

Here are the key steps for the process:

• Inline transformation outcome with a well-defined vision
• Identify and manage potential risks to reduce downside
• Address the results clearly in a convincing way
• Showcase the plans
• Ensure that the proposal has actual value
• Highlight the end goals of the project

Set key data indicators and integrate successfully

Setting up key indicators will enable us to determine whether the transformation is a success or not and allow you to monitor progress along the way. You should choose data indicators that align with the goal of the business process transformation.

Test, observe and deploy

It is prudent to run a check before deploying the process on a company-wide scale. Start with a small project, so that the risk is lower, fewer resources are required, hence, making it more effective. However, while gathering data from testing, the focus should be aligned with the transformation goal. Moreover, it is also necessary to track data and ensure that the new method does not create unintended issues with the data infrastructure of the enterprise.

Roll-out the new business process

When adequate data is gathered and analyzed, the next step is to decide the right business process for improvement. When a new process is determined, it is coordinated around the organization. Then action should be taken and by analyzing the data to ensure that the outcomes are similar to the test scenario.
