Role

Lead Business Analyst & Change Management Consultant

Project Overview

Led comprehensive business process re-engineering initiatives across multiple organizations, analyzing workflows, identifying bottlenecks, and implementing automation and best practices to dramatically improve operational efficiency and cross-functional collaboration.

Operational Inefficiencies

Organizations struggled with inefficient, outdated processes that evolved organically over time, creating bottlenecks, redundancies, and limiting growth potential.

▸Complex, convoluted processes with unnecessary steps
▸Significant bottlenecks causing delays and frustration
▸Poor visibility into process performance and issues
▸Disconnected departments with handoff problems
▸High costs due to redundant work and rework
▸Limited scalability with current process design

Systematic Process Optimization

Implemented a structured methodology combining process analysis, lean principles, automation, and change management to redesign and optimize core business processes.

Current state process mapping with stakeholder input

Bottleneck identification using process mining

Lean analysis to eliminate waste and redundancy

Future state process design with automation opportunities

Technology enablement for process execution

Change management and training programs

Continuous improvement framework establishment
