What is the Best Approach?
- Organisations are systems of complex processes which may have overlapping or even conflicting objectives. Applying a common framework to these processes will lead to a Process Improvement Approach, whose journey can be described in a Roadmap.
- Many organisations have adopted Quality methodologies, such as Lean, Six Sigma, TQM, etc., which provide tools and techniques that assist process optimisation, but are not in themselves complete Frameworks against which to deliver Business Process Optimisation.
- In our view, 8 Omega provides a practical and proven Framework to understand, improve and deliver process optimisation across the complete organisation by identifying silos and boundaries that reduce the effectiveness and efficiency of processes.
- Based on this Framework, we recommend developing a workable plan that provides short, medium and long term goals, coupled with clear governance – something we call a Process Improvement Roadmap.
