Process optimisation: the first step towards an innovative approach
A digital transformation requires an innovative approach. But what exactly does an innovative approach entail? And where do you start? We start with the first step: optimising your processes.
What is process optimisation?
Process optimisation means improving a process to make it more efficient. In today’s digital society, we often work together remotely on projects. We work in teams of professionals from various disciplines and departments and with self-employed people or other organisations as co-producers. You can make your organisation flexible and agile by facilitating this with digital process optimisation.
An innovative approach, what do I need to know?
An innovative approach involves new ways of thinking and new ways of working as well as the implementation of digital technologies. You can use these new ways of working to train your employees to respond differently to change. You can use digital technologies to facilitate this. Together, this innovative approach and process optimisation are the foundation for digital transformation.
Start with process optimisation
Start with process optimisation Digital transformation requires focus. It requires an organisation to focus on the right use of ICT technology and on the right skills to ensure successful collaborations. It is precisely this combination of an organisation’s focus on information management and innovative working methods that creates that solid foundation for process optimisation. In the meantime, you will probably be faced with questions such as: how can you establish more effective collaborations with others? What do you have to keep in mind when designing an ICT configuration or when working in the cloud? DEN can help you with all of this to ensure that your organisation is ready to face the future.
Process optimisation examples
Dance companies such as the NDT (National Dance Theatre) and the National Opera and Ballet have raised their levels of professionalism by digitalising their AV materials and storing them in an image library and collection management system. ICK Dans Amsterdam and Scapino Ballet are also working on a well-organised AV recording system.
These digital recordings are often the most important repository of the different choreographies, in a dance world where shows are often restaged. This makes them the first port of call for dancers and coaches to study these works again. The marketing department also benefits from this digital database as it allows them to find, edit, develop and manage their own materials that can be used for promotional materials such as teasers.
Speed up your work processes with an accessible, digital system
Bid farewell to spending hours searching for old documents or materials, with an accessible digital system. Such a system considerably speeds up your work processes. By making agreements with others and registering the user rights in the system, the materials immediately become available for reuse by and for a wider public.
