Processes exist in absolutely every company. Writing about them, i.e. documenting them, is a great way to achieve transparency for everyone involved and allows you to stay coordinated and target-oriented. It is your cornerstone for improvements. Then you’ll suddenly know who is carrying out what activity and why within the company and see how each activity fits together.

Of course, it’s logical to use tools you are familiar with when starting out, such as Excel and Visio. Each step in the direction of process management is a right step. However, there are also disadvantages to creating processes using these everyday tools. There is no common “language” used; everyone merely writes the processes in whichever way they think is right. The documentation can also not be accessed by everyone at the same time and attached documents just make things more complicated and are not helpful.

So, you have to think about whether using Excel, Visio etc. is actually beneficial in the long run. This is why it is a good idea to take the next step in the direction of professional management. This is the only way that everyone can profit from the documented processes. This webinar will show you the lightweight and pragmatic way to get started using your Excel documentation as a basis.
