• Analytics and Insight Generation: Process Analytics: Leverage on advanced tools like Process Mining (e.g., Celonis) to analyze event logs from financial systems, providing data-driven insights into process performance and variation.
• Performance Metrics: Establish and monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for financial processes (e.g., cycle time, accuracy rate, cost per transaction) to measure the success of excellence initiatives.
• Stakeholder Storytelling: Present data-driven findings and proposed solutions to senior leadership and cross-functional partners using compelling visual representations and clear business cases.
