Workflow Redesign
Work Redesign is most simply stated as “change.” Every investment in new technology should come with the expectation that you’ll be able to achieve more than “business as usual.” You will not want to simply “automate inefficiencies.”
Workflow redesign usually consists of an adaptation of current work processes to optimize or a new design of optimal process and elimination of the current process.
New Technology Requires New Processes
If you spend capital and/or other resources on new technology you expect to see the benefits. Many times workflow and processes must be changed in order to yield these benefits. If work processes are not reviewed for optimization, you will typically not achieve the desired outcome.
