Maximize Ease of Doing Business by Utilizing Information Technology

My entire career as an IT person has been about change! I always heard about “LEAN” and improving processes. In the back of my mind I always said “not my issue”.

• Cutting waste from any process – “Re-Engineering”

• Minimize human intervention in routine processes

• Focus on value-added activities

• Handle only exceptions (80-20 rule)



“Buy In”

Management Team - has to be on board.

• IT only resolves printing issues, Windows errors “attitude”

• Leading the charge and not taking a back seat!

• IT cannot be an after thought when improving a process!

• Develop an ROI strategy that makes sense. This is not the “This is really COOL strategy” Has to have an ROI!

• This is not about cutting jobs. It is about better utilization of resources to explore even more value added business opportunities. “Snow Ball Effect”

• Make Mistakes! It is ok!



Getting Started! (PSI“Kaizen” VERSION)

This may seem really rudimentary - start in one department and map out an entire process or choose only one part of the process and start to finish - question every step. 3 WHYs!

• Set a “VERY BIG GOAL”

• Schedule 2 hours per process

• Action Plan - return and report (follow up meeting)

• Provide the solutions using the technology at your disposal.

• Provide a time-line

• Provide a budget (if needed)

• “Anything” is possible. Fake it till you make it!

• “DO IT”

• Train “IT”

• Review in 1 month – is it working?
