Advisory
Business process Study & Recommendation (BPSR)
Use BPSR to compare how processes run across entities, reduce variation, and build a harmonized roadmap for SAP-enabled operational improvement.
We help multi-country teams study process maturity, identify friction between local and shared-service operations, and recommend a right-fit future-state operating model.

Applicability
Where Business process Study & Recommendation (BPSR) Fits Best
Built for distributed operations that need to compare process execution across entities and move toward a more consistent future state.
Multi-entity groups with different local process variants and uneven control maturity.
Shared-service environments struggling with cross-border handoffs or ownership clarity.
Organizations balancing local operational needs with enterprise standardization goals.
Transformation leaders needing a phased harmonization roadmap backed by process evidence.
Service Scope
Business process Study & Recommendation (BPSR) Service Scope
BPSR scope for organizations comparing process maturity across entities and building a harmonized improvement path.
Module 01
Cross-Entity Process Mapping
Capture how the same process is executed across countries, functions, or service centers.
Module 02
Variation and Policy Gap Review
Identify where local differences add value and where they create avoidable complexity.
Module 03
Shared-Service Handoff Analysis
Assess delays and ownership friction between local teams and centralized operations.
Module 04
Governance and Control Maturity
Evaluate approval structures, decision rights, and compliance-sensitive checkpoints.
Module 05
Future-State Standardization Design
Recommend a balanced model for standardization, localization, and SAP enablement.
Module 06
Phased Harmonization Roadmap
Sequence changes across entities so improvement work is manageable and measurable.
Approach
Business process Study & Recommendation (BPSR) Delivery Approach
BPSR model for organizations aligning process maturity across countries, entities, and shared-service teams.
Define which countries, business units, or service centers the study will compare.
- Confirm where consistency matters most.
- Set local-versus-global decision principles.
- Align sponsors across operational stakeholders.
How BPSR Works Flow
The method compares local execution realities and turns them into a harmonized improvement plan.
Delivery Model Options
Focused BPSR Review
- Targeted process comparison for one area or entity
- Best for a specific operational pain point
Cross-Entity BPSR Program
- Structured study across multiple teams or countries
- Ideal for standardization and governance improvement
BPSR plus Harmonization Roadmap
- Recommendations connected to phased enterprise change
- Supports broader transformation planning
BPSR Governance Backbone
- Entity-scope alignment
- Variation review checkpoints
- Target-state design governance
- Phased roadmap ownership
