If you’re a business leader who wants to improve productivity and efficiency, don’t just take your existing manual process. Convert it to electronic format and leave it alone. Invest in continuous improvement through workflow analysis. Workflow analysis should not be carried out once but before starting a true digital transformation and at given period of time so to adapt, if needed, to inside and outside changes by using novel / updated digital solutions.
In order to make each workflow run with optimal efficiency, you might need to identify pain points and bottlenecks with greater accuracy. With the proper approach, workflow analysis allows you to not only identify problematic areas but also find the key source of the issues that block the efficiency of your workflow.
These may include:
- Miscommunication;
- Unnecessarily many tools and platforms;
- Unclear priorities;
- Insufficient training;
- Limited visibility into what coworkers are doing;
- Resistance to change.
