Business processes and analysis are the “how do I do it / where can I goâ€. On some assignments we’ve been able to demonstrate and deliver 100,000 hours or more of annual productivity improvements through enhanced business process optimisation - in a single organisation function! That productivity is typically worth in excess of $6,000,000 per annum.
Business processes take a number of forms and there are many areas of improvement and points of discipline which address process:
Compression – reduce time and steps
Digitisation – capture data at the source
Vitrification – process transparency
Connectedness – process inter-relatedness
Synthesis – multiple processes as a whole
Feedback – feedback loops which improve processes
Orchestration – parallel and efficient processes
Customisation – adapting processes to work without having to modify systems
just to name a few.
