A process is no more than a series of steps and decisions involved in the way a task is accomplished. "Process improvement" means making things better, not just fighting fires or managing crises. It means setting aside the customary practice of blaming others for work that hasn’t been done and identifying how work can be done more efficiently. It is a way of looking at how the workplace can complete tasks smarter.

When we engage in true process improvement, we seek to learn what causes things to happen in a process and to use this knowledge to remove activities that contribute no value to the service produced. A standardised process improvement methodology allows us to look at how we perform work. When all of the team members are involved in process improvement, they can collectively focus on eliminating waste of money, people, materials, time and opportunities. The ideal outcome is that jobs can be done cheaper, quicker, easier and safer.
