Business Efficiency Assessment. Arm Yourself With A Plan To Optimize Your Professional Services Operations.

Does your service organization experience these challenges?

  • Duplication of Data
  • Manual Processes
  • Reports Out of Date
  • Poor Resource Utilization Rates
  • Lack of Visibility Into Project Status

These problems may be a sign that your professional services business model is not operating at peak efficiency.

What Is a Business Efficiency Assessment?

The Top Step business efficiency assessment identifies the gaps between your professional services business model and your professional services automation system. During this review, our business efficiency consultants will review tasks that:

  • Are programmed with set rules: These tasks run on a defined set of rules that are rarely or never changed.
  • Need accurate data in their output: Automating these tasks captures the correct data, generating accurate calculations by eliminating the risk of errors and rework.
  • Will have more value with automation: Automation can handle complex calculations and processes faster than manual work.
  • Are slow or repetitive: Tasks that don't need manual oversight should be automated, so staff can work on more important assignments.

These tasks are the best candidates for automation. We'll help you decide if automation is the best course of action and provide you with an actionable plan for optimization to support your goals. This process may include defining the requirements for your automation to understand its impact and documenting each step.
