Gain Competitive Advantage Through Business Process Optimization, Automation, and Outsourcing

The documentation of a processes cycle is the first step towards improving business process optimization. This exercise helps map the flow of documents, data, and transactions, identifying the duplications and redundancies. The output helps eliminate process and operational inefficiencies and almost always results in the automation of repetitive tasks.

A streamlined business process results in significant savings while improving employee performance and productivity.

Six steps to optimize the business processes

1. Analyze and document existing processes flow
   

   Document the existing process flow to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and redundancies. During the documentation phase, employees must be solicited for their feedback on the existing process and ways to improve.

2. Process flow design should be priority-based

   Identify and prioritize the process elements essential to the overall business strategy. Implement tools to track and measure progress to ensure continuous monitoring.

3. Optimize resource allocation

   When assigning people to tasks, make sure that their specific skill sets speak to the tasks they are allocated to do. Employees can easily be demoralized by assigning tasks not suitable to their level of training or specialization.

4. Optimize communication

   Process flow efficiencies cannot be achieved without optimizing communications within the organization. A seamless flow of timely and relevant information is necessary for collaboration and optimization.

5. Automation

   Automation is the best way to achieve efficiency, accuracy, and consistency for the organization. Automation can help the organization at every level, starting from mundane and repetitive tasks to data-driven decision-making.

6. Outsourcing

   Outsourcing is an increasingly important step towards business process optimization. Having access to trained and cost-effective resources allowing you to scale up or down seamlessly can provide a significant competitive advantage.
