Business Impact Analysis

What is the Challenge?

With the pace at which the development industry moves and the extensive workload commitments at all levels of government it is often difficult to step back and observe the day to day business challenges we face. Even if future business needs and requirements are identified by an organisation, there is quite often a shortage of time and resources available to manage and complete these necessary and crucial  improvement projects.

business impact analysis will generally involve the mapping of current business process, including:

  • Lodgement process for development applications
  • IT system input and scanning processes
  • The allocation and assessment of development applications
  • Finalisation and administration of development applications
