An Introduction to Business Process Improvement

Overview

Organisations deliver benefits to their clients through processes, not through departments, and developing integrated and inefficient end-to-end processes is a key requirement of business success in the long term.

Instead of allowing people to be locked into their specific functional, the process approach cuts across functions allowing multi-functional project teams to be formed.

The result is a straightforward but powerful approach to Process Improvement that can, and does, work in organisations with 10 staff to those with tens of thousands.
