Process reengineering redesigns an operating workflow when incremental improvements cannot resolve structural delays, duplication or fragmented ownership.
Understanding Business Process Reengineering
When to consider this service
Business owners and functional leaders responsible for a defined operating, technology or people-management requirement can use this service to clarify a particular issue. A useful starting question is: “When is reengineering more appropriate than incremental optimisation?” Begin with the facts behind that question rather than assuming that a standard package will resolve it.
Scope of work
The engagement can cover the following workstreams. The proposal specifies which apply to your matter and what evidence or specialist input is needed.
- Challenge current steps and decision rights.
- Design a future process and control model.
- Plan migration dependencies and change management.
Documents and information to prepare
Start with the records below where available. They help establish the facts before a more specific checklist is agreed.
- End-to-end process maps.
- System constraints.
- Demand data.
- Operating policies.
Provide the relevant entity, transaction or reporting period and any existing notice or deadline. Identify missing or inconsistent records so they can be addressed explicitly.
A key issue to resolve
A redesigned workflow needs transition controls; removing steps without identifying their purpose can create new risks.
How the engagement works
- Define the question: challenge current steps and decision rights, using the available end-to-end process maps and the facts you provide.
- Examine the evidence: design a future process and control model. Record unresolved information and the assumptions that affect the analysis.
- Agree the action: plan migration dependencies and change management. Set the required deliverables, responsible owners and any follow-up or external dependency.
Deliverables, fees and timing
The proposal for Business Process Reengineering sets out the analysis, documentation or coordination deliverables and the work you retain. The availability of end-to-end process maps, system constraints, demand data and operating policies affects readiness and the amount of follow-up needed. Fees and the working schedule are agreed after that initial assessment. Any required independent report, legal representation or authority application is identified as a separate responsibility where relevant.
