Teamwork

When you are determining ways a process can improve, consider consulting the people on the team to
see what ideas they have. They may have insight into the process an outsider doesn't see. For a new
process to work, consider involving several members from one or more teams to gather unique inputs
on what they might need to work more efficiently or how you can change existing processes. You might
also evaluate how you can optimize roles on a team to leverage the unique skills others’ have.

3. Automation

Automation is the incorporation of technology into your business processes to eliminate the need for
employees to perform repetitive tasks that add little value. Automation can save time because it helps
eliminate inconsistencies or bottlenecks to improve your processes. After identifying what tasks are
causing these issues, consider seeking technological solutions that can help you fix inefficiencies.

Technology has also made gathering data much easier, so when you are improving your processes,
consider automated tools that can help you gather and organize information. They can also ease
communication, schedule meetings with team members and help you organize your plans.

4. Think tanks

When developing improvements for your business processes, consider staging regular think tank
sessions to hear new ideas and speak with your team members. You can organize groups and select
members of your team who may have valuable input on a specific subject. Then you can give them a
time and place to connect to develop their ideas.

With regular sessions, you can continuously monitor and improve your business processes for maximum
efficiency. This can make team members more invested in a process and help improve efficiency overall.
It can also provide valuable insight from a variety of perspectives.

5. Communication

Productive communication can affect the speed and accuracy of any task and help teams be more
productive. Teams need to communicate internally and with one another to make sure there is
consistency in goals and procedures. However, businesses can also limit unnecessary communication,
like mass emails or long email chains, to avoid wasting time or resources.
