What are the six steps of business process improvement?

The six steps of business process improvement are:

• Identifying the process to be improved

• Defining process goals and objectives

• Analyzing the current process

• Designing the improved process

• Implementing the improved process

• Continuously monitoring and improving the process

These six steps—from identification through continuous monitoring—establish the improvement discipline central to business process management. Methodical BPM tools guide organizations through each step systematically. Kissflow's BPM software incorporates improvement methodology into its core functionality, making optimization a natural workflow outcome.
