Introduction

We will be making a fundamental change in how we work – moving to a world where we remove, wherever possible, process steps, reducing cycle times, reducing manual touches, and making it easier to get to data.

Streamlined more efficient processes accelerating flow, making it easier to complete tasks
Predictable, stable processes with fewer controls reducing the number of ‘checks’ required as part of the workflow
Reliable data available on demand supporting decision-making
