And how good are they in the first place? Method • Determining and analysing stakeholders and process - loosely based on Burlton • Collection by org unit (not ideal) • Some reverse engineering of stakeholders Burlton in 7 lines • • • • • • Consider your strategy Understand your stakeholders in that context Est interactions > core & enabling processes Using your strategy and the above Determine which process has the most pain Determine which process has the most impact (gain) • Map Pain vs Gain > To get initiatives & priorities NB • This is the initiatives and priorities that process is informing you about • You then need to consider this with all the other things that EA has thrown up – eg data, technology, roles, … • Add them to “The List” – you are finding solutions to deep root causes and issues that need to be prioritised WPI • Mid 2005 Business Process Improvement • Worked with OD – “please let us help” • Became a project with CSU wide steering committee and a DVC Sponsor Project • Stage 1: Opportunity Identification • Stage 2: Initiative implementation • What are the key interactions between the Faculty/Division and internal and external stakeholders ? • How effective are Core processes in managing those interactions ? • What contribution do enabling processes make and how effective are they ?
