Success Starts With The Right "Recipe"
Business initiatives that can benefit from the analysis services I offer include, but are not limited to custom application development, implementation of SaaS products, improving processing and operations, as well as assisting in business decision-making such as deciding where and how to build your next facility or where to make improvements within your current facility.
Establishing the right "recipe" before empowering your teams to take action makes work far less stressful, fun, and predictable. When teammates clearly understand what needs to be done, how, when, and why, and the information has been quantified through professional analysis you can get the right things done in far less time.
I have grouped the services I offer into common business analysis events. For each, I have standardized my approach so my work is predictable, well documented for review and improvement as needed, and easily scaleable as analysis needs to grow.
Also important to note is I execute my analysis work using some of the best techniques taken from the IIBA's BABOK, the DMAIC methodology, and Agile and Lean principles that are proven to be highly efficient and known to drive success.
If you feel my service offerings and analysis expertise could help you and your organization solve some current challenges, please contact me through the channels listed on this website's Contact page.
1. Opportunity Analysis
Business Need Scenario
Leadership has a budget to improve a product or service within the company. They have a general idea of what they want to improve, but the improvement details may not be fully documented and quantified.

2. Analysis for Software Development
Business Need Scenario
Leadership has a budget to build, implement (SaaS), or modernize software that supports the business. Now business and technical requirements need to be elicited, finalized, and estimated in a backlog, so the build and test teams have the information they need to execute the required work and that leadership understands how long the work should take.

3. Process Analysis
Business Need Scenario
Leadership has identified business workflow gaps where perhaps a required workflow does not exist today or the existing workflow is not as efficient as it should be. Performing process modeling events through a collaborative approach with key stakeholders is a GREAT way to finalize the best workflow for the required situation.
I always start with MS Excel to draft the initial flow(s) at various levels (L1 & L2), and then if needed I can convert the analysis to Visio using a BPMN format. I moved to this approach years ago because it was much faster, and in the early stages, it is beneficial to have process information in a tool that most everyone knows how to use and has access to. This provides a way for others to finish their work on the process information after completion of the larger group sessions when required.
4. Documentation
Business Need Scenario
Leadership has identified a need to update or create physical or online documentation to support company operations or assets.
