City of Santa Ana RFP 17-072 1 Statement of Qualifications (Revised 11/9117) • ° • •' i <br />Streamline & Standardize processes <br />We will leverage the As -Is process documentation as a key input into an Opportunity Matrix. This Matrix <br />brings together the observations and analysis from the prior activities with leading practices and impact <br />assessments. It is typically not practical for an organization to adopt 100% of leading practices as many <br />organizations lack the required economies of scale, the funding for a new technology solution, or other <br />enablers. This is entirely normal. Indeed, this is not about achieving "world-class", but rather it is about <br />moving the Agency on the path towards world-class In a way which is practical, relevant, appropriate and <br />achievable for the Agency. Therefore, the conceptual design Is not for some "theoretical" organization or <br />enterprise, In developing these scenarios, It Is important to use appropriate selection criteria: <br />• Suitability: business criticality, complexity, people, cost and volume <br />• Do -Ability: operational readiness, infrastructure readiness, external constraints. <br />At this point, the governance for the Project would then select the priorities for transformation through a <br />facilitated process. These priorities would consider the individual area's transformational objectives, <br />capacity for change, potential opportunities, budget and dependencies, such as technology enablement. <br />We then spend the final sub -phase of the project developing a more granular analysis based on the <br />approved scope, culminating In the financial business case and implementation plan. <br />OMB Uniform Guidance Requirements <br />The Initial sub -phase of work includes Identifying the relevant requirements from the Office of <br />Management and Budget (OMB) Uniform Guidance. As these guidelines consolidate eight previous sets <br />of guidance into a single document, the elimination of overlapping and conflicting provisions facilitates <br />compliance, while reducing administrative burden and risk of waste and abuse. The 2013 guidelines are <br />being updated and our work will include the most recent changes. <br />As a key part of the Opportunity Assessment, we will incorporate the relevant Uniform Guidance <br />requirements Into the Opportunity Matrix, consolidating these recommendations with our other findings <br />and the gaps between the current state and leading practices. <br />The final workup towards the development of the financial business case and implementation plan <br />includes the development of a future state operating model that we will validate against the Uniform <br />Guidance. This activity will include the development of a complianceltraining plan, that will support <br />maintenance of the procedures and checklists to assist the Agency in grant administration and reporting. <br />Operational & Staffing Improvements <br />To properly support an employee transition plan, it is critical that the Agency complete an Activity Based <br />Analysis (ABA) as a foundational activity. Figure 5 provides a sample ABA. <br />Figure 5: Sample Activity Based Analysis <br />This sample ABA illustrates how an accurate cost for each service line is derived by allocating each <br />position's time to the high-level processes and extending these totals against the salary budget and <br />Chazey Partners Revised per email communication request 10/31/17 <br />20A-45 <br />-I <br />r p I <br />131 <br />?I!I <br />rvro4a: "Nmm rYizga'"ac imI <br />is ':g° <br />WMars 1 A4 <br />'. <br />a�mae"awav'mmma 6t�.Aa uD.D <br />N <br />WwWWv f.
