Assessment (CobiT®.Review and interview)

Upon a thorough assessment of the client's current documented and non documented processes PB&SP can validate and review the process goals and objectives for the the client's Corporate Information Technology organization as a whole. The goals and objectives Corporate IT groups are reviewed and validated to insure they support overall critical success factors. The Assessment step results in a clear picture of the required processes needed to support the end vision for mature controls within the Corporate Information Technology group. The result is a cohesive action plan and committed team focused on the same set of objectives and operating under the same set of metrics.

Define (Collaboration and Model Implementation)

Through the data gathering and analysis of the Assessment step, PB&SP and the client determine the final definition of the objectives, critical success factors, obstacles and solutions for optimization and or completion of required processes. Many of these items are already identified or in place and must be incorporated into the final solution. The client may have already made a commitment to several technologies and therefore it must be integrated into the overall strategy, assuming they do not preclude the client from accomplishing other strategic objectives.

Design (Customized High Level Process Architecture)

Once the critical process issues are identified and agreed upon, PB&SP collaborates to design the targeted processes. This stage includes ongoing training to the process team in utilizing the process development tools. The actual workflow of how events are generated and handled by the process organization is now known with roles and responsibilities defined and metrics agreed upon. It includes identification of the areas requiring attention to policies and procedures as well as any inconsistencies with the organization's objectives with recommended improvements. The result of the design phase provides the data needed to move to the detailed implementation of the tool set.

Educate (Training Documentation)

PB&SP's approach to education is mentored-based throughout any project. The intent is to educate all parties involved from the beginning of the project to insure there is a consistent, and agreed upon, vision of what is to be accomplished. As the project moves ahead, PB&SP strongly encourages the client's process staff to participate in activities, requiring full knowledge transfer. PB&SP will provide management with feedback as to the extent that their employees have mastered training and will report if it appears that team members are not participating in their own learning. (There will be a written test.) PB&SP also understands that the client process staff have existing responsibilities which cannot be ignored, however the greater the participation the quicker the process staff will reach self-sufficiency. The overall objective of this approach is to enable the process staff to be fully self-sufficient once the project is complete and not dependent upon PB&SP or other vendors.

Deploy

The final step is the deployment of the solution throughout the clients Information Technology organization. The deployment includes assisting with the implementation and integration of the required tools and implementation of any necessary process changes, all identified, defined and designed in the earlier stages of the methodology. PB&SP envisions its role during this phase to be in an advisory capacity. This will allow the client's Corporate Information Technology Department process staff to internalize the use of the Facilitated Compliance Management™ ® tool set. PB&SP could also play a hands-on role if needed and let the client direct the overall project.
