Services Busara Strategic Projects is passionate about solving business problems and has skills to take ownership of the total business solution, from supporting the business case development, right through to implementation, training and benefits harvesting. To ensure success in every initiative we embark on, emphasis is initially placed on strategy alignment and business process excellence before focusing on automation or IT solutions. Business Process Excellence IT Strategy and Organisation Maturity Assessments IT Strategic Auditing Process Engineering and IT Strategy Development Optimisation IT Operating model development Capability Development IT Organisation Design and (Process Management Office) Governance Process Automation IT Architecture Project and Programme Management (incorporating change management, business analysis, integrated governance and training) Busara Strategic Projects (BSP) does not bring a ready-made, one-size-fit-all IT solutions to the table. This is because business problems are rarely solved by just throwing IT systems and tools at them. Instead, BSP invests time into analysing and improving business processes, people processes, organisation and facilities before looking at opportunities to automate. 13
