In addition to setting goals, company stakeholders should create operating standards and identify potential bottlenecks. By removing these anticipated bottlenecks early in the business process design phase, workflow can be improved and surprises eliminated when implementing the\u00a0process.\u00a0<\/p><p>Once implemented, it\u2019s important to review each activity and process on a regular basis to assess its performance and value\u00a0\u2013\u00a0without regular reviews a tendency can develop in employees to simply go through the motions to complete business processes and the benefits of optimization run the risk of being minimized or even lost.\u00a0<\/p><p>A good business process optimization consultant can help organizations achieve better results by assisting with every phase of business process assessment, redesign and implementation.
