How it works?
This video introduces the Brewster Consulting Group's Process Maturity Framework, a structured model designed to help organizations enhance operational maturity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
Framework Structure: The framework is divided into eight levels across three tiers:
This video provides a step-by-step guide for identifying key processes within an organization to drive progress with the operational maturity model.
This video outlines the importance of identifying subject matter experts (SMEs) and process owners to effectively manage and improve organizational processes.
Define Roles:
Establish Accountability:
This video explains the steps for creating process maps, a visual tool essential for documenting and improving core business processes.
Purpose of Process Mapping: It provides a clear, visual flow of a process, helping organizations understand and analyze each step accurately.
Preparation Steps:
Recommended Tools:
This video introduces the next phase in the process maturity framework, focusing on defining key metrics to measure success in core processes.
Transition to Continuous Improvement: After documenting processes, shift focus toward establishing measurable outcomes for continuous improvement.
Defining Key Metrics:
Practical Exercise: Choose a core process and identify one or more quantifiable metrics or KPIs that indicate success.
Data Availability Check:
This video provides guidance on building a data dictionary as the next step in process maturity.
Data Readiness Check: Before defining KPIs, confirm whether the necessary data exists. If not, establish a system to capture it.
Building a Data Dictionary:
Ensuring Consistency: A data dictionary helps standardize metrics across the organization, enabling consistent and accurate reporting and fostering confidence in data-driven decisions.
This video covers the importance of creating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for core processes, which help ensure consistency and efficiency.
Purpose of SOPs:
SOP Structure:
Goal of SOPs:
By standardizing procedures, SOPs help organizations ensure consistent, high-quality outcomes across repeated processes.
This video discusses using data to identify improvement areas within core processes by analyzing performance metrics at a detailed level.
Identifying Improvement Areas:
Granular KPI Analysis:
Next Steps:
This step of detailed analysis can be combined with Step Six (SOPs) to standardize areas of high variability.
This video explains the importance of reaching a foundational level of process maturity before pursuing digital transformation.
Foundation for Digital Transformation: By first identifying key processes, establishing accountability, setting KPIs, and creating SOPs, an organization builds a stable base for transformation efforts.
Common Pitfalls in Tech Investments: Many organizations invest in new technology prematurely. Without mature, standardized processes, these investments often fail to deliver expected improvements.
Value of Process Maturity: With well-defined, consistent processes, organizations can effectively integrate advanced technologies, leading to genuine operational improvements.
Path to Transformation: Once foundational maturity is established, the organization is ready to explore tools that drive efficiency and add value.
Achieving foundational process maturity enables an organization to maximize its return on digital transformation initiatives, setting the stage for sustainable growth and innovation.
The final video in this series offers a wrap-up of our Process Maturity Framework.
Supplementary Materials: This series is paired with an eBook that provides additional guidance, templates, and resources to support the steps discussed. Download our E-Book at the top of this page.
