Organizational Business Process Assessments
A business process is an activity or set of activities that can accomplish a specific organizational goal. Business processes should have purposeful goals, be as precise as possible, and have consistent outcomes. However, all businesses have pockets of inefficiency throughout their current systems. The business process assessment is the act of conducting a review and gaining an understanding of business processes. It involves reviewing the components of the process, including inputs, outputs, procedures, controls, actors, applications, data, technologies, and their interactions to produce results.
