Simply put, a process is "right" when it includes:
- A Process Workflow
- A set of accompanying Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and
- Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
This is because people don't actually
execute a process, they execute the standard operating procedures that correspond to the various steps within a process.
The 3-Step RightProcesss Methodology helps to depict the relationship between these three components that make a process "right."
- Step 1: Define the Process - Start by defining a Process Workflow with the right level of detail.
- Step 2: Identify the SOPs - From there, identify all of the areas within the process where Standard Operating Procedures are needed. Click here to view a sample SOP.
- Step 3: Identify the KPIs - Lastly, identify opportunities to measure the effectiveness of the process.
