ConsultancyWORKFLOW STREAMLINING
No matter what industry you work in, streamlining processes saves valuable time and money which in turn allows your business to grow.
We help our clients to realise their ideas. We understand that in this fast paced, ever changing technological age, its hard to keep up with innovation and is therefore easy to fall behind your competitors.
Workflow Inventory
Before any improvements can be made, the first step towards streamlining is to understand, define and document your current workflow processes (eg. listing daily, weekly and monthly tasks).
Prioritise your Process
Rank your processes from most important to least important, taking note of any inter-related or dependencies on the process. This will help decide which process to streamline first.
Process Steps
Now breakdown your processes into smaller steps, keeping the outline as simple as possible. What is important here is to capture the beginning, middle and the desired end point.
Encourage Feedback
Having an open forum about your workflow, with people directly or indirectly involved in your process is a vital part of streamlining as it can help identify improvements regardless of how subtle or small.
Automation
Automating routine tasks will not only drive trust back into your data (as human error is eradicated) but it will also make data easy to analyse, enabling you to quickly identify systems which are working and more importantly, those which are not.
Refine, Refine, Refine
Be mindful that no workflow is perfect, so once you’ve improved your current process, expect to refine this over time.
