Processes
Where time goes on repetitive operations and what that costs the company over a year.
The result is a document for making decisions about money, not a presentation about what modern technology can do.
Where time goes on repetitive operations and what that costs the company over a year.
What has been accumulated, in what form it is stored, whether it is usable. Usually this is exactly where everything stalls.
We sort the scenarios by return and difficulty. It is sensible to start with something simple and visible.
Leakage through the text of prompts, liability for personal data, dependence on an external supplier.
What will be needed: data, computing power, people, time.
A sequence of steps with checkpoints where the decision to continue is taken.
The study takes four to six weeks depending on the size of the company.
We ask the heads of department where their people's hours disappear to.
We look at what is actually in the systems rather than what should be there according to the procedure.
We sort the scenarios by return and effort, explaining each position.
We present the plan to the management and refine it after the discussion.
A plan with no owner inside the company stays a presentation. Someone has to push it between departments and answer for the result. Without that role the document goes into a folder and comes out a year later unchanged.
There is no programming here at all, just an answer to two questions: what to tackle and in what order. Companies with an obvious use case do not need this work; they are better going straight to a pilot.
Those who run the candidate areas plus the person responsible for the technology. If the business stands aside, the result is technical work with no connection to the real processes.
A negative result is useful too: the money stays in the company rather than going into a project that would deliver nothing. We would rather say that now is not the time than sell a project we know will not pay off.
Tell us what you expect from the technology and what you have already tried. We will look into it and give an honest assessment.
