What are business processes?
Business processes are a structured set of activities that produce a result. It's essentially all the steps you take in each activity that you need to make your business run. In an ideal world, these processes would be documented, followed by everyone in the same way, and reviewed on a regular basis. But we know that this often doesn't happen, not least because it's usually easier to keep doing things in the same ways, even if they don't quite work as well as they could.
The good news is that it doesn't take much effort to enhance your processes - or to build a culture of continuous improvement, so your staff will be looking out for ways to make things work better. We're here to help get you off the starting blocks!
