Workflow Improvement... we can help

February 2, 2010

Have you ever logged how much time you spend in a typical month on unproductive activity, that neither contributes to the product nor compliance? How much time do you spend preparing to do work? How much time do you spend documenting your work? How much time do your spend revisiting work? How much time do you spend either tracking down information to review or getting information to someone else to review? How much time do you spend compiling information from multiple sources? The list of unproductive activity goes on and on.

And then how much more value could you provide to the organization if you dramatically reduce the amount of unproductive busy work in your day?

The economy is recovering but companies are still reluctant to hire new people (much to the frustration of the jobless and politicians) as they scale volume back up. In contrast, budgets for investing in IT to improve productivity are opening up. So whereas justifying new people is tough, there is receptivity by the keepers of purse strings to replacing outdated technology and investing in new systems designed to improve productivity and reduce the costs of compliance.
