Our Business Process Optimization Services

Great Lakes Advisory process optimization solutions comprise the following procedures:

PROCESS REVIEW

Our consultants work with you to identify which processes have an imbalance between input and output. Through process reviews they reveal pain points and inefficiencies that waste resources and require urgent attention.

PROCESS VISUALIZATION

We develop process maps, which are visual illustrations of all the inputs, outputs, actions, decisions, and roles that make up processes, so organizations have a better understanding of what is and isn’t working.

PROCESS ANALYSIS

By analyzing expenses, customer satisfaction, and workflow redundancies, we help businesses gain an honest look at where their efforts don’t match results. Only once they understand what a process needs, can they work on solutions.

PROCESS REDESIGN

Our consultants work with relevant team members to leverage existing and create new processes for increased efficiency and productivity. Once agreed upon, we document each step into Standard Operating Procedures for easy referral.

Optimize Your Processes to Reach Outstanding Performance!

Our core process optimization services come in three packages; Pro, Premium, and Deluxe.

Each analyzes, measures, and improves operational activities, culminating in the development of training manuals that reflect exactly how an organization operates at optimal efficiency. Let us help you align your process with your business goals.

highly recommend Great Lake Advisory to anyone looking to develop better tools to scale their SMB! We initially were seeking out a firm that had expertise in Trainual that could help us develop better training and onboarding tools for new reps.What we left our first engagement with was a new framework and tools for business planning I expect us to build upon for years to come. I’d describe working with Chris and his team as frictionless and extremely productive for our team!
