Policy Interpretation
Analyze policies, regulations, and rules to make them practicable – ready to deploy to the business side or to IT.
With rules, you’re always on a journey of discovery. The challenge (and the fun) for policy interpreters and business analysts is knowing the right questions to ask to get at all the rules. How do you go about interpreting them correctly? What does their analysis involve? Your journey must probe into the very heart of business knowledge, its support, and its communication.
If you are overwhelmed by creating practicable rules from formal documents (such as policies, legislation, regulation, contracts, and other explicit sources), or you don’t know how to get started, BRS can assist through:
- Pragmatic, effective and proven plan and approach
- Organization, management and validation of rules as they are identified
- Analysis of rules for duplication, redundancy and accuracy
Let us put you on the right track for policy interpretation.
Rule-Based Solutions
Policy Busting
Current business policies are often outmoded or ineffective in achieving business goals, especially for the new digital world. Before (re)designing your business processes, first challenge your existing policies. Many may have existed for years and the reasons for them unknown or no longer apply. BRSrules can help you:
- Identify existing policies
- Challenge their effectiveness
- Propose alternatives
Revitalizing Processes
When your business processes are too complex, or you have too many branches on your process maps, or your process descriptions are too long, BRSrules can streamline your business processes:
- Factor out rules from processes
- Make your processes concise and easy to read
- Get buy-in and agreement across the organization
Governance and Compliance
If you have challenges surrounding regulatory compliance, the accurate and timely deployment of business policies, or rule change management, BRSrules can assist with:
- Develop objectives and vision for the governance process
- Define governance process
- Establish roles and responsibilities
Comprehensive Rule Capture
If your rules are in people’s heads, or you don’t know the right questions to ask to get the rules, or you don’t know how the rules relate, BRSrules can help you get a handle on them.
- Make tacit rules explicit
- Untangle your rules
- Organize your rules by decisions, by terms, by process tasks
- Specify your rules using consistent, business-friendly vocabulary
