Workflow automation
Design the process first, then automate the handoffs that waste time — without replacing every system you already use.
Work moves only when someone follows up. Approvals, handoffs and exceptions live in inboxes rather than in a process with clear ownership.
What we would examine or change
Business rules
Agree what can be approved automatically and what still needs judgement.
Overdue escalation
Define when a stalled item surfaces and who is notified.
Manual review
Keep a clear path for cases the rules cannot decide.
Audit trail
Record who decided what, and when.
Deliverables and the decisions they support
Process map with ownership
Makes the current path and decision points explicit before anything is automated.
Automated path for agreed steps
Moves routine work through the system of record with an audit trail.
Exception path for cases that still need judgement
Keeps human review where rules are incomplete.
Acceptance checklist and enablement notes
Confirms the process works for the people who run it.
Illustrative example
Illustrative purchase-approval path
Normal approval and exception paths — illustrative only.
- Request — raised in the system of record
- Normal path — rules approve within threshold
- Exception path — manual review when rules do not decide
- Audit trail — who decided, and when
- Overdue signal — stalled items surface with an owner
Illustrative: purchase approvals that move in the system of record instead of email chains, with an audit trail of who decided what.
Possible success measures
- Approval time
- Overdue work
- Re-entry effort
Working together
Your involvement
A process owner, agreement on business rules, and access to the systems where work should live.
Scope boundaries
Automation cannot fix an unclear business rule. We will not automate a process the business has not agreed.
Start with clarity.
