(Agile) Project Control Service

(Agile) Project Control Service

Business Consultancy

Business Consultancy

Business Consultancy is one of the fundamental services of a consulting firm. From high-level strategic planning to daily based implementation, consultants contribute unique business expertise to solve complex business challenges and help clients meet their goals. At FiSer, we believe that the implementation of a strategy is more important than merely developing it. Our business consultancy services bridge the identified strategy with a structure approach of execution. This can result in Target Operating Model (TOM) defining, requirements engineering, and business process engineering in our service catalogue.

Target Operating Model Design

Target Operating Model Design

Target Operating Model (TOM) design aligns with an organisation’s operation capacities and strategic objectives and provides an overview of the core business capabilities, internal factors, external drivers, strategic and operational levers, organizational and functional structure, technology, and information resources. It helps to design and implement a firm’s future vision through a structured approach. In some cases, the TOM is triggered by a re-direction of a strategy, which allows the organisation to re-assess the level of consistency between its strategy and its business setup. The end result is to create a roadmap to fill the gap identified in the assessment. At FiSer, we make sure to help the organisation define a clear TOM roadmap and onboard relevant resources to reach the desired goals.

System Selection (RFI, RFP’s)

System Selection (RFI, RFP’s)

System Selection service helps the organisation identify functional and other business requirements, evaluate potential solutions, narrow down selections, and determine the deliverables. The process typically involves the issuance of requests for information (RFI) and requests for proposals (RFP) to software vendors. At FiSer, we help the client set the right questions to vendors to obtain information relevant to the pre-set requirements to ensure that the selection process is objective, and the purchase is of the best possible term and pricing. The inquiry contains, among others, features, pricing, support, and implementation requirements. So, we ensure a structured approach with quantitative criteria to conclude a right set of selection.

Business Process Engineering

Business Process Engineering

Business Process Engineering (BPE) is a structured approach to improving business performance by analysing, redesigning, and optimizing key business processes. This involves a thorough understanding of the end-to-end process, identifying areas of waste or inefficiency, and then designing and implementing changes that lead to improved performance and better outcomes for the organization. At FiSer, we follow a structured approach to help our clients improve their business processes and achieve operational excellence. We employ a structured and collaborative approach to process engineering, which includes process modelling, analysis, redesign, implementation, and continuous improvement. We also offer training and support to help our clients improve their business process management capabilities and achieve sustainable results.

Project Assessment & Quality Review

Project Assessment & Quality Review

Project Assessment and Quality Review service aims to conduct an end-to-end analysis of the scope, scale, deliverables, objectives, and impacts of a project or a programme, ensuring that all the dimensions are aligned with the goal and that undesired situations are resolved. When it comes to complex changes lasting for multiple years, it is particularly important to keep track of what the change is targeting. The analysis, which is timeboxed, provides the organization an overview and advice on the status, feasibility, and quality of execution of the project/program, then a course of action is presented to advice the client on the next steps. At FiSer, consultants have proven records in steering change programmes within large banks and insurers in the Dutch market, enabling us to provide a deep and well-rounded project assessment and quality review. We also support this service for projects or programmes with Agile setup.

Project & Delivery

Project & Delivery

Project & Delivery services bring or programmes that have been disrupted back on track. With the changing customer demands, regulatory requirements, or unexpected global incidents, businesses are facing an unprecedentedly volatile situation. The pressure of driving changes through complex programs is increasing and so is the probability of failures. At FiSer, we understand how unpleasant to see a project or programme running for a while but not performing, therefore we help clients find the problems and bottlenecks with our in-depth knowledge and experience. Usually, starting with a project assessment, the required needed services (e.g. project management, business consultancy, etc) will be determined to prevent the project/program from failure. We rescue underperforming projects or programmes by defining, implementing, and evaluating a reconstruction plan. We detect the invisible issues, analyse the root causes, reform the programmes, and ensure that the necessary restructuring measures are implemented successfully.

Data Management

Data Management

Data Management service focuses on collecting, keeping, and using data securely, efficiently, and cost-effectively to help organizations optimize the use of data within the bounds of policy and regulation so that they can make decisions and take actions that maximize the benefits. At FiSer, we work with our partners to help our clients develop robust data strategy to drive business insights and better decision making. Services from our partner cover the entire data management lifecycle, including data architecture, data modelling, data integration, data warehousing, data quality, data governance, and data security.
