Why a Digital Workflow Consultant Is Important?

A Digital Workflow Consultant can smash paradigms and innovate your organization.  

However to be successful this consultant needs to be skilled in workflow technology and process improvement (LEAN, Six Sigma, BPM, TQM) so they are able to clean up processes before automation, look for ways to reduce re-work, improve quality, and innovate processe.

A skilled Digital Workflow consultant can: 

- interview internal groups (and customers/vendors) to determine the level of improvement each process requires (efficiency, quality, service, frictionless, governance) and incorporate these factors into the workflow/application design, 

- identify how related technologies such as capture, recognition, machine learning, electronic content management, workflow, robotic process automation, and artificial intelligence need to interact with workflow technology to improve processes, and

- develop project plans to identify timelines, project dependencies and risks, requirements, responsibilities, change management, acceptance criteria, progress, and completion. 

Since 1995, we at CRE8 Independent Consultants have assisted hundreds of clients with planning for Digital Workflow and Process Improvement.

What is Re-engineering?

Re-engineering  according to experts Michael Hammer and James Champy is the "fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in critical, contemporary measures of performance, such as cost, quality, service, and speed. Re-engineering asks the question "why are we doing this at all" and encourages leaps forward, not incremental change. Re-engineering assumes the majority of process steps and structure are non-value added and encourages an organization to toss out everything and start over with a brand-new picture. Reengineering starts with a high-level assessment of the organization's mission, strategic goals, and customer needs. Basic questions are asked, such as: Does our mission need to be redefined? Are our strategic goals aligned with our mission? Who are our customers? In this assessment, an organization may find that it is operating on questionable assumptions, particularly regarding the wants and needs o...

How To Plan To Replace A Legacy Computer System?

So the day has come to replace an older, complex (Legacy) computer system. Why? The system will  soon not be supported by the vendor, no longer able to be supported by internal staff, not allow for growth or new requirements, and/or continue to be too costly to support.

Has Your Organization Properly Setup M365?

Today, organizations are asking how to properly set up records management in M365 for modules such as Outlook, Teams, Sharepoint, PowerAutomate, and Compliance Center (Purview).   In a recent poll we conducted the type of planning stated as required to ensure successful deployment of M365 is Governance/Compliance.  Unfortunately, our surveys and studies find that less than 50% of organizations have fully developed their enterprise and department ECM requirements (indexing, search. workflow, integration) before M365 implementation and only 13% have  fully set up compliance center (Purview). In addition, we find a significant number of organizations do not have (and follow) an up-to-date records management program for electronic records. The result?  If an organization's records management program is not correctly updated and implemented in their content management systems organizations can experience sprawl, regulatory non-compliance, and increased ri...
