03In practice

A process redesign

Switch between today’s flow and the redesigned one. The amber loops are rework: the request goes back and someone does it again.

Illustrative example, based on recurring situations in professional service firms.

05Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take?

It depends on the number of processes and people involved. The timeline is in the proposal, after the first conversation and the initial survey.

Does the company need a new system?

The redesign starts with what the company already uses. A new system comes in only when the map shows it solves a concrete problem.

Who from the company takes part?

The people who run each routine and one person who decides. Partners join the validation and the follow-up meetings.

What does the company keep at the end?

The process map, the written procedures, the KPIs and a team trained to keep the routine going.
