Business Process Review Project InitiationJonathan WasseSenior HR Business Process Advisor / Project ManagerHR User Group Meeting22 June 2016
Project Board Nigel Waugh (Project Sponsor) Mike Cope (Senior Systems Supplier) Mark Hopley (Senior Finance User) Jon Everard (Director, Human Resources Systems Transformation Project (HRST)) Helen Brown (HRST BPR Workstream Lead) Jonathan Wasse (Project Manager) Co-opted members from across UCL
Background • A requirement to simplify the systems and processes which involve recruitment, contract changes, payment to employees, and pensions engagement is necessary. • UCL 2034 – Key Enablers (B & D) “Continue to attract, recruit and retain global talent.” Delivering excellent systems and processes in support of UCL's vision… “have processes that are focused on the needs of the user of the service.”
What is happening? • The HRST Project Board approved the decommissioning of the Service in Partnership (SiP) system from 01 August 2017 – to be replaced by standard Oracle functionality. • A Business Process Review (BPR) is being undertaken on current processes involving SiP. • Start Point – first action within a process, e.g. requirement to fill a vacancy • End Point – when the action has been delivered, e.g. receive 1st salary
What we need from you • To work with stakeholders to develop processes for the new system that are simpler with reduced complexity, streamlined providing fewer touchpoints than as current. • Require DAs with a spread of expertise and experience to attend the Core Group Meetings • Membership subject to Faculty Manager and Project Board approval • One DA per faculty
How is the BPR to be conducted? • Processes to be reviewed have been identified and categorised – see next slide. • A series of Core Group Meetings (CGM) involving School and Professional Services membership. • Meet Faculty Managers to outline project and protocols. • Develop ‘Straw Man’ process for review at second CGM - per process. • Present ‘to be’ processes to stakeholders for sign off. • Conduct new process ‘roadshows’. • Produce Requirements Document.
When is the BPR happening? • Core Group Meetings held throughout July and August 2016
Outcomes and Constraints • Processes need to be fit for purpose, e.g. • Streamlined • Reduced complexity • Involving fewer touchpoints (financial approval) • HR and Finance Processes to be integrated • Processes to be Oracle System compliant • Oracle System is ‘out of the box’, little room for configuration • System changes to be deliverable for release in August 2017
Questions • Thank you for listening • DAs interested in attending the Core Group Meetings please email j.wasse@ucl.ac.uk to express an interest by end of work on Friday 24 June 2016 • Any Questions?
