Advice
When was the last time you stopped to consider if the way you are currently doing a business process is
still the most efficient and effective? Many companies and business leaders get into a “groove” and adopt
the philosophy “if it isn’t broke, why fix it?”. The reality is, we are constantly surrounded with historical
practices that will benefit from renewed consideration or technology has evolved and now offers
alternatives to the solution. Sometimes the greatest opportunities for efficiency and productivity
improvements are staring us in the face but we first need to be willing to see them in the first instance.
