Small Business Process Consulting

When working with you as a small business owner, my primary goal is to help you define and document your business processes.  Through similar techniques used in agile business analysis, we will work toward a visual representation of the processes so that you get a clearer understanding of all that you do.  This is a necessary step that is often overlooked in business planning.  Not only will this radically reshape your ability to speak about your business, it will

• serve as the basis for your business proposals,
• identify repeatable processes you can turn into automated systems,
• help you prepare training documents and scale your business,
• show you your biggest time wasters and where your resources are leaking,
• help you plan for large investment projects such as new websites and marketing plans, and
• help you plan adequately for time away from your business.
