Colleagues, I am often asked why it is worth bothering with changing business processes. Here are a few simple ideas:
- Efficiency: if you feel that everyone is doing a lot, but the result is dead, it’s time to think. Changing processes can help build a system where each step leads to a specific result.
- Efficiency: sometimes there is a result, but its price is a cosmic budget. Look where you can save, what resources to use smarter.
- Transparency: if data in a business is collected crookedly, decisions are made at random. Make processes and management accounting more transparent.
- Predictability: especially in sales, it is important to know what will happen and when. Change business processes in sales, make them more structured.
- Manageability: when all the data is in place, management becomes effective. Regularly analyze the plan-fact, make decisions based on data.
If the business seems perfect, maybe it really is not worth touching. But if you see problems, changing business processes can be the key to new opportunities!
