Government Council Transforms its BPM Program with Nintex Promapp®

Who They Are

Situated on the South Coast of Australia, Kiama Municipal Council offers a broad range of services – from traditional government services to holiday parks and aged care facilities.

What they need

It was imperative to examine the council's processes and what improvements they could make with a standardized process mapping tool.

How they did it

Using Nintex Promapp®, the council mapped over 200 processes in the first 12 months and saw significant efficiency improvements – saving them around one full-time employee in terms of non-value adding steps.

Government council saved +200 hours per process mapped

Kiama Municipal Council prioritized process improvement initiatives, ensuring continuous improvement with in-house capability.

The organization saw they had two main tasks – gain clarity about what they actually do and how they do it,  and then take that information and put it through a lean methodology to identify opportunities for improvement.  Nintex Promapp® was a BPM tool that people at all levels of the organization could use and relate to.

Smooth and simple implementation

When it came to implementing Nintex Promapp® across the organization, Kerry McMurray, Director of Finance, Corporate and Commercial  Services, says it was quick and painless. They brought the Nintex Promapp® team in to run some sessions with executives, the senior leadership group, and then ran information sessions for all staff.

Any initial skepticism amongst staff was overcome when they saw the inefficiencies in the mapped processes. The council also found value in involving customers in the process review for processes like the admission process in the aged care facility. This gave them some incredible insight̓ and helped create what they call an outside-in service design.

As we know, sometimes processes can be very, very complicated. Some of the cross functional process maps can go beyond pages. The adoption of Nintex Process Manager definitely helps staff to understand these maps a lot easier. And now we utilize those process maps, not only in various projects that we do, but also in daily operational life because they utilize these maps as a working manual.

Nintex [Promapp®] Process Management works because it shows the information in a simple way, compared to a complex flow chart that makes the brain switch off. We‘ve seen that in action, especially when staff are covering for those on leave.
