“Almost all quality improvement comes via simplification of design, manufacturing… layout, processes, and procedures”
— Tom Peters

No matter which type of organisation we work in, everyone needs processes in place in order to achieve business goals. If a process doesn’t work then the consequences can be detrimental by impeding growth and profitability by way of wasted time, effort and cost and the following issues are typical.

  1. Re-keying data into spreadsheets
  2. Maintaining data in different systems
  3. Trying to change complex spreadsheets that only one person in the department knows how to use
  4. People arriving at meetings with different figures for the same topic
  5. Manual and paper based methods of approval
  6. Different departments wasting time ringing each other up to find information
  7. Not having the answer to customer enquiries
  8. Manually calculating order quantities based on individual knowledge and guesswork
  9. Trawling through detailed reports to gain insight
  10. Only being able to access the system from the office
