Environmental Impact Analysis

Scope and Context
To begin with, we will need to clarify the context and scope of the initiative; e.g. a specific process with clear boundaries and the business objectives linked to it. This is done with key stakeholders and communicated throughout the analysis.

Identify and Understand
Identify process owners and key process users participating in the daily process related work and then arrange workshops, interviews and dialogs with all the identified stakeholders, to document the parts and the expected outcome of the process.
This step has dual purposes, both to find all the parts environmental impact but also to understand the process and outcome.

Evaluate Uncertainty
Perform a sensitivity analysis to understand how changes in findings can affect the outcome. This helps in identifying areas of uncertainty.

External parties
If there are external dependencies, an important step is to investigate and estimate this impact as well.

Business Evolvement
Depending on the ambition, there is also a possibility to challenge existing business objectives related to the investigated process. If applicable, this is done with key stakeholders in a workshop like format.

Analysis
We will summarize all learnings and observations, and analyze the investigated process environmental impact. At the same time we will make a rough design proposal of an alternative solution together with its related alternative environmental impact.

Findings Workshop
The activities will conclude with a workshop to present our results in the form of total environmental impact, together with an alternative solution with a possible alternative environmental impact. We will also present a proposed way forward.
