Reengineering

Services

Reengineering has, unfortunately, come to become synonymous with downsizing and employee layoffs. Or it has become about renegotiating the cost of paper clips and staples to save some money. It, often, has also become a reactionary move organizations make when times get tough. Saving money on procurement or laying off employees maybe requisite, but that should not be the focus of reengineering.

Instead, reengineering should be an ongoing organizational discipline which companies use to stamp out unproductive complexity. The removal of inefficient and complex processes results in monetary savings but results in employees spending time on more useful work which ultimately leads them to be happier about their jobs. And we all know happy employees are good for business, right? The focus on more important work also lets the organization focus on making better decisions more quickly. And if you can make better decisions in a quicker manner than your competition, you’re probably doing something right. Specifically, Brilliont offers the following services reengineering services:

Unproductive Complexity Review

The Pareto Principle holds for your organization's processes as well.  20% of the processes you have lead to 80% of your wasted time.  Obviously, organizations require systems and processes to ensure appropriate controls are in place and that chaos doesn’t occur. The offshoot of this is that over time, many processes and practices continue without a view into why they are being done. The reason these go on is because “We’ve always done it that way” or because people are afraid to kill processes out of concern for what might happen.  Those are not reasons to do something. Brilliont’s unproductive complexity review dissects at a detailed level where companies are spending their time, energy and money and the value of these activities.  From this review, we develop recommendations which the organization can use to make material changes that will improve productivity and ultimately remove unproductive complexity.  By doing this, you're creating a culture of productivity that will continue on.  Yes we are asking you to reorient the way you think about reengineering.  It's should not be about knee jerk cost cutting.  That is strikingly ineffective.

Reengineering Idea Generation

Coming up with areas to focus on for reengineering is not about simply saying “let’s move this offshore” or “let’s renegotiate our supplier contracts”. Instead, coming up with reengineering ideas requires creating a method and capability for the organization to constantly come up with reengineering ideas which can be initially tested and ultimately adopted and actioned.

Reengineering Portfolio Analytics

Investing in reengineering often has the promise of major gains in terms of lower cost, improved efficiency, etc. But it is important to look at reengineering proposals as part of a portfolio of reengineering opportunities. Our Reengineering Portfolio Analytics team ensures the initiatives properly diversified across risk, time to realize benefits and business priorities & strategies.

Competitive & Market Intelligence

By examining your competitors and others in other industries, Brilliont helps you understand what others maybe doing from a reengineering perspective. These ideas can be used to complement or add to the existing database of reengineering proposals.
