AN ASSESMENT OF ADVISORY ACTIVITIES

• Introduction

• Advisory activities are boom of the present time.
  These activities are the main goal of special
  advisory firms providing professional counseling
  in certain interesting area (agriculture, health,
  rights, ).
• These firms have researched several methods for
  evaluation of Advisory Service results and
  reengineering.
• This second part of our presentation shows an
  existence a very efficient method for advisory
  activities evaluation. This method is founded on
  such new conceptions as Standard Advisory Case
  (SAC) and Real Advisory Case (RAC).
• Each of SAC type depicts a certain string of
  advisory processes with determined a final
  expense. Every standard advisory process has a
  different individual expense.
• Unlike of the SAC its each RAC can be completed
  by an auxiliary process, as for example
  starting, cancelling, resuming and ending
  process. This reflects a real progress of each
  real advisory case.

Conception of SAC and RAC

Conception of SAC and RAC

• Definition RAC by means of SAC

GRAC ?
.. isomorfism of two graphs
GSAC
If GRAC ? GSAC then RAC is a
trivial instance of SAC If subgraph
GRAC ? GSAC then RAC is a regular
instance of SAC
Any instance of RAC for selected associated SAC
is acceptable by every advisory firm when

1. RAC is structurally correct
2. RAC is a trivial or a regular instance of
   associated SAC
3. Expense of RAC is consistent with SACs
   expense

21
Processing of RACs and comparing with SACs

• Construction of metadate for advisory processes
  and all SACs and RACs
• Insistence on advisory firm IS to log metadata of
  all processes that belong to RACs into DB
• Construction of RACs strings
• Processing of DB RACs by means of special
  operations and a graphical interpretation
• Application results in advisory management
  activities

22
Metadate items (for example)

• ID of SAC, ID of RAC, ID of advisory process
• State of RAC
• ID of supervisor, ID of client
• Start off time, time of end
• Expense of SAC, RAC and process
• Tolerance of SAC, RAC, process expense
