5 Reasons to Get Help With Your Processes
Simple isn't always easy. The art of stripping away unnecessary process steps and barriers is difficult and sometimes messy along the way. Often it takes a lot of hard work to make things simple to implement and deploy.
Easy for you doesn't always make it easy for others. What works best for you might be the exact opposite for your customers, suppliers, and staff and make for overall inefficient and ineffective processes. Specific process improvement efforts should not be done without a full understanding of how they affect the overall business.
Time. When you are spending all of your time just to stay even, it is difficult to take the time needed to make more time for other things. And time is money; the more you have of one, the more you can make of the other. Or even take a relaxing vacation now and then. Do your existing business processes allow for this?
Getting new customers is hard. Losing existing customers is easy, especially when your processes are bad. Look at your business processes through a customer's eyes. Are you making it easy for them at every step of the customer experience, or are you chasing them off with poor processes? Are you making it easy for them to buy your products or services? What about support after the fact? Would you buy from you if you had to go through what you put your customers through?
Sometimes you already have the answers, but you're too close to the problems to see (or implement) them. A fresh perspective from an outsider trained to look at processes can be invaluable. If nothing else, they can provide the clarity needed to move forward with process improvement.
