Business Process Improvement (BPI)
We help organizations strategize that their business processes are aligned with their long-term strategies for growth. We help in ensuring that the processes achieve the objectives they are designed for so that they become a source of competitive advantage for the customer. We undertake a comprehensive analysis of business processes to identify inefficiencies and suggest improvements. This is done by mapping the processes at the level of activities, identifying the roles of different agencies in the activities and defining the need of every activity. Widespread participation of customer teams is made mandatory. This helps in driving change through the organization and ensures that the improvements suggested are internalized and implemented and the program is successful and sustainable.
Balance Score Card Implementation (BSC)
Leading organizations agree on the need for a structured methodology for using Performance Measurement information to help set performance goals, allocate and prioritize resources, confirm or change current policy or program directions to meet those goals, and report on the success in meeting those goals.
The balanced scorecard is a conceptual framework for translating an organization’s strategic objectives into a set of performance indicators distributed among four perspectives: Financial, Customer, Internal Business Processes, and Learning and Growth. Mann-India helps put up these indicators that are maintained to measure an organization’s progress toward achieving its vision; other indicators are maintained to measure the long-term drivers of success. Through the balanced scorecard, an organization monitors both its current performance (finance, customer satisfaction, and business process results) and its efforts to improve processes, motivate and educate employees, and enhance information systems— its ability to learn and improve. We help in implement the same using our partner Corporater's product "Corporater Enterprise Performance Management".
IT Strategy
Strategic planning and strategy are a perpetual challenge for, and expectation of, the IT leader When and how do you do it? Who should govern it? How can you be sure it best meets the needs of the business? What does it look like when completed? How long does a strategy last? The Mann-India team helps answers those questions and provides guidance for what is clearly the most complex and high-level function of the IT executive position—setting information technology investment priorities that are aligned with business goals. Strategic alignment—how closely an organization’s IT strategy is matched with its overall business strategy—is a consequence of IT strategic planning. We help plan strategy by imagining the desired future and analyzing the present—they identify the gaps between the two and draw a road map for closing them. We consider competition, technology and risk. The IT strategy offering Mann-Inda focuses on achieving this alignment.
