What is a Business Process?
“If you can’t describe what you are doing as a process, you don’t know what you’re doing.” – W. Edwards Deming
A business process is a series of steps or activities carried out by humans and/or technology systems to achieve a specified desired goal or outcome, usually to create and/or deliver value to one or more stakeholders. We offer the best services on Business Process Management in Kenya.
Business processes are classified into three categories:
1. Management Processes are used to measure, monitor, and control business activities. They ensure that a primary or supporting process meets operational, financial, regulatory, and legal goals.
2. Primary/Core Processes are end-to-end, cross-functional processes that directly deliver value to customers.
3. Support Processes are designed to support primary processes, often by managing resources and/or infrastructure required by primary processes.
Efficient and customer-centric business processes are the backbone of any successful organization. If the processes are ineffective, you have no hope of ever achieving your strategic objectives. No need to worry though, we are here to help.
