Innovative ways to increase operational efficiencies
Welcome to Part 3 of our conversation which explores how small businesses are creating innovative processes to enhance efficiency.
For small-business owners, innovation used to be about the development of new products and services. Now, it’s about thinking in more adaptive and resourceful ways to improve business performance in key functional areas like operations. Operational innovations provide better efficiency, cost containment, better quality and competitive advantages.
Please join our Linked In conversation at Creating innovative processes to enhance efficiency to weigh in on one or both of the following questions:
1) What innovative operational processes have you implemented that improved efficiency and helped attain and/or sustain a competitive edge?
2) What challenges did you face in getting your teams to embrace the change that innovation necessarily brings?
We’d love to get your input !
