P2
When does it make sense to transform a manual process into a digital one?

P3
When does it make sense to integrate
applications?

P4
And how do you decide?

For example

P6
The case of the institutional banking
organization that needed to optimize
operations applications

P7
What did we do?
![Page 8: Research and Workflow Techniques - Turbek](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/61cca8d2bcbd252bf23f33bd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
P8
1. We talked to the client.
2. We talked to the client’s clients (who use the applications).
3. We documented and analyzed their team structure, interactions and workflow.
4. We made recommendations for workflowimprovement (some digital, some not).

P9
Why do research?
![Page 10: Research and Workflow Techniques - Turbek](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/61cca8d2bcbd252bf23f33bd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
P10
To find out HOW users work and WHY they work that way (the why is often more important).
![Page 11: Research and Workflow Techniques - Turbek](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/61cca8d2bcbd252bf23f33bd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
P11
You might be surprised at how
they are using your system.
![Page 12: Research and Workflow Techniques - Turbek](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/61cca8d2bcbd252bf23f33bd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
P12
Who should you conduct research with?
1. Use your analytics to identify heavy (power) users and light users).
2. Pick people based on their roles, their usage of important applications, types of clients.
3. Find out who they interact with and interview them, too.
![Page 13: Research and Workflow Techniques - Turbek](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/61cca8d2bcbd252bf23f33bd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
P13
How many people should you talk to?
![Page 14: Research and Workflow Techniques - Turbek](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/61cca8d2bcbd252bf23f33bd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
P14
More is more…
Talk to at least 10 people.
(For statistically significant samples, you need many more).
![Page 15: Research and Workflow Techniques - Turbek](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/61cca8d2bcbd252bf23f33bd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
P15
Where should you interview them?Anywhere you can.
1. At desk (the ideal scenario)
2. Via Webex (and share their desktop)
3. Over the phone
(Interview them individually to get their personal process or in groups to get workflow dynamics.)

P29
And how can that be improved?(to digitize or not to digitize…)
now digital
remains manual
