Business Analysis
Introduction
MKR Consulting understands business problems and opportunities in the context of requirements and recommends solutions that enable the organization to achieve its goals. MKR Consulting will work as a liaison among stakeholders in order to elicit, analyze, communicate and validate requirements for changes to business processes, policies and information systems in order to reduce waste, create solutions, complete projects on time, improve efficiency and document the right requirements.
Business Process Analysis
Business analysis involves the process, tools and techniques to identify requirements and help organizations achieve strategic goals through internal changes to organizational capabilities and changes. MKR Consulting has experience in process mapping, data modelling, data analysis and identifying ways to leverage new technology or more efficient processes.
Business Process Improvement
For companies who wish to improve business processes with a gradual, incremental improvement MKR Consulting can utilize the Business Process Improvement (BPI) model. This model attempts to understand and measure the current process, and make performance improvements accordingly. MKR Consulting will work closely with the organization to document what they do today, establish some way to measure the process, do the process, measure the results, and then identify improvement opportunities based on the data collected. Once the organization has implemented the process improvements, MKR Consulting can measure the performance of the new process and achieve continuous process improvement by going through the model again until the desired outcome is reached.
Business Process Reengineering
For companies who cannot afford a slow change process and wish to implement rapid change and dramatic improvement MKR Consulting can lead them through a Business Process Reengineering (BPR) model. BPR relies on a different school of thought than continuous process improvement. In the extreme, reengineering assumes the current process is irrelevant and focuses on a new process. MKR Consulting will work closely with the organization to define the scope and objectives of the reengineering project, then going through a learning process to establish a knowledge base. From this knowledge base a vision for future-state can be created and new business processes designed. Given the definition of the "to be" state, MKR Consulting can then create a plan of action based on the gap between current processes, technologies and structures, and where you want to go.
Business Plans & Strategic Plans
There are many reasons to initiate a new project such as market demands, business needs, customer requests, advances in technology, legal requirements or social needs. The organization needs to determine what projects to authorize and spend valuable resources on. MKR Consulting can help create business plans and strategic plans that will clearly identify business needs, benefits and costs needed to implement the project.
Facilitation
A significant amount of time is spent by project managers on leading everything from meetings to individual coaching sessions. Effective facilitation is crucial and MKR Consulting has experience with a variety of facilitation techniques that are best used in different situations. Facilitation bridges the different communication requirements of project participants-from staff to sponsors and stakeholders. MKR Consulting will provide the vision, inspiration and motivation required throughout the various stages of a project's life cycle.
