| The TECHNOLOGY
component examines how best to leverage and manage technology.
The BLCN team will identify system requirements through the
process improvement phases, analyze alternative software packages
if applicable, and develop a governing structure suited to the
organizations needs.
BLCN uses an integrated method leveraging all four of the
components to aid in package implementation, and / or legacy
system changes. This method provides a framework for leveraging
software capabilities, developing organization buy-in, and
preparing for deployment. This integrated method is very effective
for M&A business process integration, driving shared services
and / or global process development.
The process methods link the system functionality with the
related activity boxes directly on the process map. This effectively
allows the teams to perform a wall walk through
of the process before investing time and resources into the
configuration / changes of the software. This mapped linkage
is also an excellent communication tool.
Lessons Learned Workshop: Companies perform many internal
business improvement projects, product / service releases,
internal programs, merger and acquisitions and marketing programs,
but dont capitalize on valuable lessons learned from
the implementation of those projects. The BLCN Lessons Learned
Workshop (LLW) is an approach to continuously evaluate the
effectiveness of project implementations with an emphasis
on identifying, sharing and implementing ways in which these
projects may be improved. The LLW is a one-day effort facilitated
by two BLCN consultants. The audience consists of 8 10
key individuals from the project. The facilitated session
will take approximately three hours in the morning with a
short feedback / review session later that afternoon.
