Problem Assessment
Understanding the problem is the first step in addressing how to fix it. We work collaboratively with cross-functional teams, often global, to get a complete view of a company’s business process challenges and provide actionable recommendations for organizational, process, and/or business application realignment.
There are a variety of ways we can approach a project to assess the problem. Here are a few:
- Uncover why teams are not effectively using existing applications
- Identify poor processes and recommend alternatives
- Work with management teams to implement changes
- Review current business goals and help establish new targets
- Define and agree on metrics to measure business success
Our typical methodology during the assessment phase is a combination of one-on-one interviews with the key stakeholders in both the business units and IT. We find that most companies have really smart people with good ideas about how to “fix” things, but lack the organizational focus or inertia to make business process changes. Accelent bring teams together for in-depth workshops to further identify disconnects between organizations and uncover opportunities for greater efficiencies. Depending on the scope and goals of the engagement and problem we are assessing, we will deliver our findings and recommendations in either a report or Powerpoint format.
We deliver a Problem Assessment that includes:
- A set of prioritized Recommendations
- A Roadmap to remedy process problems
- An Implementation Plan that maps business problems to process flow and identifies organizational and system changes
Accelent possesses both the process and technology expertise to rapidly identify organizational and IT issues that cause organizational pain and impede company performance. Achievement of unified business goals, and optimized revenue, are the results.

"A corporation is a living organism; it has to continue to shed its skin. Methods have to change. Focus has to change. Values have to change. The sum total of those changes is transformation."
