The Challenge
Abacus work with lotteries, retailers and tech companies from around the world, often all at the same time during the same project. This made things convoluted already, so the team had to be on point with who manages what.​
​
The team knew what they needed to do, but not exactly who, when and how. The project and flow was there but not well-defined and shared with the whole team for complete visibility and alignment.
​
​
​
Our Approach
-
Map out the full business process flow with the CTO of the business.
-
Understand any gaps or inefficiencies for hiring or new tools.
-
RACI each and every step of the business process, understanding who did what, when and how.
-
Assigning any documentation, inputs and outputs for each stage.
-
Understanding what meetings happened, with who and why at each stage.
-
Delivering all of this in a day workshop, with the team's input to create an aligned delivery framework for projects.
-
All documented and signed off.
​
The Results
-
Alignment & visibility for the whole team.
-
Everyone understanding the importance of their role.
-
Documented business process flow for delivery.
-
The team set up for scale.
