Project the impact of process optimization

Common Challenges

In cost-constrained contexts, operational efficiency is a must-have. Business leaders are continually challenged to optimise their cost-base whilst delivering increasing returns. Multiple opportunities and considerations present: technological advances enable work to be automated; territories with different cost contexts inform location strategies and the geographic relocation of work; and outsourcing strategies determine whether work will be produced in-house or externally. Ensuring the right people are doing the right work at the right cost requires the simultaneous evaluation of multiple options.

Orgvue Value

In the same way that Organizational Modelling reveals the impact of structural changes on the size and cost of the workforce, Activity Modeling reveals the impact of changing work activities. As process optimization levers (e.g. reduce, invest, reassign, outsource, automate) are applied to Activity Analysis data, immediate insight on the impact of potential changes is provided. As process changes are modelled, you get to see how the size and cost of the current workforce will change; which subgroups, reporting lines, teams and roles will be impacted and the scale of change for each.

“If you are proposing changes to how work gets done without understanding how the organization operates, you’re risking serious consequences. I’d go as far as to accuse you of professional negligence.  Activity Modelling based on real life data reveals the scale of opportunity afforded by changing how work gets done and quantifies the business case for change.”

“Getting to detail on the positions which would be impacted enabled us to get to make practical recommendations.  It’s not sufficient to say ‘this work consumes 25 FTE so that’s the saving opportunity’ because that value is the sum total of fractional time; each employee is conducting other work.  Orgvue provides visibility on the remaining activities being conducted by employees needing to be reallocated before a potential saving can be declared.”
