It is often said that an organization consists of people, processes, and tools. People execute processes using tools. Processes are usually re-engineered (in other words, optimized or improved) in two major dimensions – efficiency and cost. Appleton Greene & Co. covers both dimensions, along with the various strategies and tactics for gaining the most out of these dimensions, in theoretical and practical detail through the Process Re-engineering program taught by expert management consultant Mr. Lam.
Process Re-engineering
This training program will focus mainly on improving the “processes” in any organization, whereas “people” would fall into the realm of human resources, and “tools” would fall into the realm of information technology.
In a nutshell, processes can be streamlined, automated, outsourced, or eliminated. There are unique benefits to each of these choices, depending on the particular organizational situation or context. Knowing why and how a process should be re-engineered in a certain way is primarily based on a combination of expertise and experience. The more a person does it, the more easily it will come to them, and the more easily they will be able to advise others in their organization.
In major organizations, senior management approval would be needed before re-engineering an essential process in an impactful manner. The potential impacts may affect the staff and the organizational structure; therefore, a favorable business case should be presented and approved by the relevant stakeholders before any actions can be taken. The core of the business case should show the stakeholders that efficiency or cost, or ideally both, can be significantly optimized or improved if the proposed process re-engineering takes place.
This program will dive into the various ways in which either efficiency or cost, or both, can be optimized or improved for any given process. Optimizing or improving efficiency involves reducing the lead time or effort required to execute a strategy. Optimizing or improving costs may include strategic sourcing, outsourcing, offshoring, automating the process, etc.
The objective of this program is to help business managers and their organizations better understand how to make processes more efficient and less costly. At the end of the program, attendees will be able to apply the learnings and insights to address any processes, however complex, to re-engineer them for the benefit of their organization as a whole.
Why is process re-engineering so important?
To remain competitive, organizations should always strive to operate in a more efficient and less costly manner. Technology is also evolving at a fast pace, such that new methods regularly become available that allow organizations to do things in quicker and cheaper ways. Process re-engineering accepts the premise that, now and then, any given organizational process should be reviewed and re-engineered to gain an advantage in terms of time, labor, or cost – thus allowing a company to keep its competitive edge in the market.
This program will begin with an organizational overview and an introduction to process re-engineering for attendees to have a big picture of the corporate landscape and the issues at hand. They will understand why process re-engineering is so essential and why such efforts should be undertaken without delay.
Mr. Lam will then delve into crucial skills such as process mapping and segmentation, which are helpful for any given process in an organization. He will also cover the root cause analysis and the needs analysis – the former analyzes the current constraints and drivers in terms of input. In contrast, the latter explores the limitations and necessities regarding output.
Afterward, the decision-making process usually requires a fair amount of number-crunching and consideration. It may even involve up-front investments (such as new technology or temporary staff) to put the new process in place effectively. Therefore, he will dive into these specific analytical aspects, which estimate any investments or costs involved while comparing them to the attendant benefits (which should be greater than the costs), elucidated ideally by a robust business case for senior management approval.
This program is used as a vehicle to implement a tangible methodology for all departments of any given organization to successfully perform process re-engineering, increase efficiency, and save costs. This program will provide attendees with the tools, theories, practical advice, and mindset to make them adept at tackling any challenging processes head-on and deftly finding ways to improve or optimize them. By doing so, they will be making significant contributions to their organization.
