our business knowledge transfer service...
Your business is always changing and your people naturally build up detailed knowledge of your business processes.
Pressures on the business can prevent you from documenting this knowledge in a form that enables effective communication of how you do what you do. This can impede your success as an organisation in many ways including:
Write by Design's experienced consultants can help by running business modelling workshops with your teams, walking through each area of your business step-by-step, encouraging discussion/agreement and modelling a consistent view of your business. Our workshops enable immediate knowledge transfer of your business workflows across your wider team and improves their sense of ownership.
Pressures on the business can prevent you from documenting this knowledge in a form that enables effective communication of how you do what you do. This can impede your success as an organisation in many ways including:
- Your workflows are understood differently by different parts of your organisation which can impact their overall efficiency
- It becomes more difficult and costly to train your new recruits in a consistent way so they become fully effective as quickly as possible
- When you decide to automate some or all of your business workflows, any software development/implementation may be delayed because your current processes are not defined or easily accessible to your chosen development partner

We use a variety of different techniques at our business workshops including:
- Process modelling - Delivering a comprehensive set of online process documents clearly and simply representing the processes covered. These documents can then be used as training material for new staff and also as a key input to any software development/implementation. Our models are delivered as Microsoft Word documents which are simply generated into an online model set. The models have been designed to be both usable (Feedback from previous projects has shown that all members of a team actively refer to the process models for information) and maintainable (Owning and using their process models daily in their jobs results in teams being keen to keep them up to date as their processes change over time)
- User Story mapping - A user story is a tool used in Agile software development to capture a description of a software feature from an end-user perspective. The user story describes the type of user, what they want and why, helping to create a simplified description of a requirement as a crucial input to a software development project.
