Systems and Processes

"Businesses and human endeavors are systems, but we tend to focus on snapshots of isolated parts of systems and then wonder why our deepest problems never get solved."

It takes robust systems and processes to produce high quality products and services, retain customers, and sustain results. Organizations are more than places where countless tasks get done.  When you look at your organization as a series of interconnecting processes amazing opportunities for improvement and increased productivity become apparent.
