Use Business Process Management to Increase Your Project Success Rate
Business Process Reform Essential for Long-term Viability
Bringing in a firm to provide PMO services can be unpopular with staff who may feel threatened by the change that external project managers are guaranteed to bring, but there is a reason “fresh eyes” are so valuable for to a firm managing several complex projects: it can be difficult to identify and correct inefficiencies in processes at your own company because you are so closely involved. You may not realize your company is losing money or that anything can be done to improve your current processes. Or even if you do know there are problems, your firm may struggle to find their root and make the necessary changes without causing disturbances.
At adaQuest, our business process management professionals will bring the perspective necessary to help you reform your processes the right way so you can get the maximum return on your investments.
Out BPM staff will holistically analyze your business’s processes, evaluate them in terms of how well they help your organization meet its primary goals, and then offer suggestions to optimize your process environment based on four strategies:
- Examine process efficiency, comparing actual with potential performance at every relevant level of your business.
- Develop employees’ management skills to enable them to use your current resources more efficiently.
- Identify resource gaps and then help to build the infrastructure necessary to fill those gaps.
- Apply best practices that adaQuest has developed over time and through experience with countless clients to improve your project selection and implementation process, making it more dynamic and adaptable, leading to more successful products.
These strategies will only get you part of the way to realizing your company’s full potential. After identifying efficiency gaps and increasing efficient resource allocation capacity, you will need a business project management team to conduct a project management maturity assessment. This process flows naturally from the business process management step. adaQuest will conduct surveys with project managers and upper management to asses where your project execution process diverges from industry-accepted best practices, based on The Project Management Body of Knowledge®.
By helping your firm to choose the appropriate approach from our full suite of PM services, adaQuest will enable you to deliver better products and enjoy a higher return on investment. We are available by phone at 425.284.7800, or email us at adainfo@adaquest.com.
