In our current business climate, organizations that have learned how to transform faster and more effectively than others have gained a competitive advantage. Knowing what business processes are needed to support transformation, understanding the decisions that need to be made and the information required to make these decisions are pre-requisites before selecting an application to industrialize Business Transformation.

For this reason, QRS has identified the business transformation processes and automation requirements that are needed to support an organization’s Business Transformation Capability; please see the resource section at the bottom of the page. We recognize “HOW” these processes are implemented in each industry and organization is unique and our Professional Services team plays a key role in all engagements to industrialize the Business Transformation Capability.

Performance Measures for Business Transformation
The ability to track the success of the Business Transformation Capability can be measured through the following performance metrics:

• Time to Plan: Time is measured from submission of a Business Request to when the work is scheduled and prioritized by senior management.
• Effort to Plan: Effort is measure of how much time is spend by various stakeholders in IT and Business to define initial plan.
• Plan Efficiency: Measures what percentage of work products are delivered on-time and on-budget from the initial and baseline within 5% and 30%.
• Plan Effectiveness: Measures what percentage of the transitioned capabilities actually achieves the intended business outcomes as defined in the Value Statement. The direct measure of Plan Effectiveness is through the Enterprise Scorecard.
• Stakeholder satisfaction: Satisfaction is measured through the quality and relevance of the information provided to the sponsor and receiver(s) at the beginning of each phase in the Capability Based Value Delivery (CBvd™) life cycle.
