The work of most organizations is organized around business processes
, although many managers and team members do not recognize that. Business executives manage their businesses primarily by managing the processes that they are responsible for. The success of a business manager depends upon RESULTS of deliverables which are generated based on how consistently and efficiently their teams execute the business processes.
Questions for Managers:
1.Are the business processes and rules in your department documented?
2.Have you taken steps to ensure all your team members are well-versed with the processes and they are executed consistently?
3.Do you know what is the average cost of your process end-to-end? What about the maximum and minimum cost?
4.Do you know how long it takes on average to run your process? What about the maximum and minimum time?
5.Are your business processes efficient and optimal?
