Process design & mapping

An organisations business processes should support and sustain organisational change, development and growth. If they don’t, we’ll work to analyse, design, and optimise them using best practice techniques and industry standard documentation and diagramming tools.

We’ll guide our client’s team team through the change and help secure buy-in from all stakeholders for the process change.

Process optimisation

Facto’s unique approach to Business Process mapping involves a visualisation method that facilitates rapid identification of pain points and analysis of gaps, leading to opportunities for improvements in customer experience, performance, cost reduction, efficiency, and quality. This process involves mapping existing processes and benchmarking them against more mature sectors to understand pain points and gaps. This is followed by a redesign of the process to address the identified pain points, including the elimination of inefficiencies, implementation of best practices, and adoption of new technologies for process automation or streamlining.

Facto's Product Owners prioritise feature sets to align with the product's vision and roadmap. They lead product and sprint planning, focusing on the most impactful and high-value work, and guide the team in breaking up the work into a viable sequence to ensure each sprint delivers value and progresses towards key milestones.

Requirements gathering & analysis

Facto tailors our approach to each client, project, and ways of working, utilising unique visualisation techniques and tools for discovery and deep-dive workshops. Requirements are validated through analysis of processes and data analysis, and stakeholder feedback.

Scope & discovery

Facto specialises in conducting discovery and deep-dive sessions at the beginning of projects. These sessions provide an opportunity to collaborate with stakeholders and gather the information and insights needed to identify business challenges early, and uncover opportunities for improving people, processes, and technology components that could enhance operability and synergies. 

These sessions help formulate prioritisation, clarify requirements, identify improvement opportunities, establish a value proposition, assess feasibility, and evaluate the potential business disruption of proposed changes. This helps us establish a clear scope and roadmap for planning the project to deliver measurable value and drive business success.
