Gone are the days when your aim is to work harder. In today’s global economy the aim is to work smarter towards obtaining the best operational efficiency. Efficiency is not only about cutting cost but ensuring that all your daily activities are geared towards the same goal.

• Review each and every activity to determine if it adds value to your business and eliminate duplications. If there is no value, then why are you doing it?

• Ensure all the activities are linked creating a smooth process flow.

• Engage your team on the benefits of each activity and provide the resources to get them done.

• Find the best technological solution that will automate simple tasks that takes time. Example: Some companies are still issuing pay advice in print when it can be delivered by email.

A properly structured operation that covers every aspect of the business will allow your company to run seamlessly like a well-oiled machine. This will reduce the cost of your operations which will reflect positively in your bottom line.

Therefore review your operations immediately to ensure you are getting the best value for every dollar you spend.
