Is your business under pressure to deliver more at lesser cost? If so, what is being done about it?
A critical step is to ensure that business processes are optimised for maximum productivity. Doing so is not a one-off activity. Regular reviews are necessary to adapt to changing circumstances. Small and medium enterprises are at a particular disadvantage in this area. Often they do not have business analysts and project managers on staff.
Simply cutting personnel may appear to reduce costs, but it may not be sustainable. Without process optimisation, personnel cuts may lead to degraded service, personnel burnout, loss of skilled personnel, process errors and dissatisfied customers. There may be long term damage to the business.
The first step to improve productivity is to thoroughly analyse business processes and workflows to identify waste and lost opportunities. From that foundation it is possible to plan improvements through waste reduction, new approaches and automation. Before automating processes with new software tools, old processes and workflows must be reviewed and optimised to take full advantage of the capabilities that software systems provide.
