Companies often know where they want to go when it comes to Strategy Development<\/a>. Companies want to be more agile, quicker to react, and more effective. They want to deliver\"\" great customer experience, take advantage of new technologies to cut costs, improve quality and transparency, and build value.<\/p>\n

Yet, while most companies are trying to get better, the results tend to fall short. One-off initiatives in separate units do not deliver big enterprise-wide impact. Improvement methods that were adopted almost invariably yield disappointing results.<\/p>\n

Senior leaders have a crucial role to take in making things happen. Business Transformation<\/a> cannot be a siloed effort. A Next-generation Operating Model<\/a> is essential to break through organizational inertia and trigger step-change improvements.<\/p>\n

Understanding the Next-gen Operating Model<\/h2>\n

Companies need to commit to a Next-gen Operating Model if they want to build value and provide compelling customer experiences at a lower cost.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Integrated, Organization-wide Operational Improvement Program<\/strong>. This approach is focused on Customer Journeys and distinctive customer experience. The Integrated, Organization-wide Operational Improvement Program<\/a> is a holistic approach towards how operations can contribute to delivering distinctive customer experience. It cuts across organizational siloes in both customer-facing and end-to-end processes. This approach is a preferred organizing principle. Having multiple independent initiatives within separate organizational groups can deliver incremental gains. However, the overall impact can be underwhelming.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Holistic Customer Journey<\/strong>. This is an approach that makes use of multiple capabilities instead of individual capabilities to achieve greater impact.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The holistic Customer Journey<\/a> is achieved when the 5 core capabilities are utilized.<\/p>\n

      Discovering the 5 Core Capabilities<\/h2>\n

      There are 5 core capabilities essential in unlocking the most value in the shortest possible time. Two of the 5 capabilities are Digitization and Advanced Analytics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      Digitization is the process of using tools and technology to improve journeys. It has the capacity to transform customer-facing journeys by creating the potential for self-service. It has the power to reshape time-consuming transactional and manual tasks that are part of internal journeys more so when multiple systems are involved.<\/p>\n

      Another core capability worth knowing is Advanced Analytics. This is the autonomous processing of data using sophisticated tools to discover insights and make recommendations. It provides intelligence to improve decision making and enhance journeys when nonlinear thinking is required. This is very useful in claims triage, fraud management, and pricing.<\/p>\n

      There are 3 other core capabilities that are essentially important in these days of Digital Transformation<\/a>. These are Intelligent Process Automation, Business Process Outsourcing, and Lean Process Design.<\/p>\n

      Intelligent Process Automation is an emerging set of new technologies that combine fundamental process redesign with process automation and machine learning. It can replace human effort in processes that involve aggregating data from multiple systems taking a piece of information from a written document and entering it as standardized data input.<\/p>\n

      Business Process Outsourcing<\/a> works best for processes that are manual. It uses resources outside the main business to complete specific tasks or functions. Back-office processing of documents and correspondence is an example of BPO.<\/p>\n

      The Lean process Design is one capability that helps companies streamline processes, eliminate waste, and foster a culture of Continuous Improvement<\/a>. It is considered a versatile methodology as it can be applied in multiple processes.<\/p>\n

      Organizations can use these capabilities to achieve the greatest impact. The maximum effect, however, can be achieved when specific implementation guiding principles are followed.<\/p>\n
