How we helped
Process Improvement & Re-engineering
Digital Transfer & Design
The Client
Large Southern California based church with over 20,000 members over 18 campuses worldwide, conducting over 100 international mission trips & projects per year.
The Challenge
Scalability
Mission trips & projects process & tools are controlled by a small centralized team at home campus… difficult to impossible to scale both nationally and internationally.
Usability and Delightfulness
The user experience of both process & tools have degraded as not well thought through additions and enhancements have created a labyrinthine, difficult navigate, structure.
Maintainability
Both legacy process & tools have evolved over years… redundant, duplicate and irrelevant steps have become institutionalized. In order to maintain, a deep understanding of history is required, vs. simply following what is logical and common sense.
Solution
Process re-engineering services
The nimBOLD team engaged in a detailed, comprehensive business process re-engineering exercise.
The team conducted a current state analysis, identified major pain points, and determined a future state process, removing inefficiencies.
Design services
The nimBOLD team conducted a user flow analysis, reorganizing in order to be easy and logical. The design was crafted to be mobile centric, geared towards specific personas, with a discrete start end progression to staged completion. The goal was for a child to engage, and logically understand, without any guidance, how to navigate clearly towards appropriate end state (zero training required).
Custom application development services
The nimBOLD team implemented a 3rd party mission trip platform, focused on pre-trip planning, and build upon, both pre engagement activities, on trip and post trip mgmt. as well as an administration and reporting components.
Results
- 65% reduction of total cycle time through process re-engineering and new tools implementation/integration.
- Increased efficiency in financial disbursements process area.
- Implementation of a learning management system (LMS) that decreased training time from 6 months to under 1 month for each new volunteer position
- Up-to-date processes and technology allowed outreach expansion into new areas locally and internationally, increasing the number of partnering churches and other organizations from 100 to 300 in under 6 months.
- Implementation of a knowledge bank which allowed them to showcase specific examples of Missions Activities which subsequently increased member retention rate by 35%
