Instructor:

Create Standard Operating Procedure Systems in minutes, not hours, days or weeks.
In this seminar, we’ll dive into how small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can revolutionize their operations through the effective creation, implementation, and continuous improvement of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). This is going to get you GREAT PROCESSES, not expensive wallpaper.
We’ll cover the four critical phases of the SOP journey:
Alignment – Ensuring the entire organization understands the purpose and value of SOPs, gaining buy-in from all levels.
Document – Building clear, concise SOPs that capture the best way to complete tasks, creating a foundation for stability and improvement.
Implement – Turning SOPs into living, breathing parts of the daily workflow, with practical methods for training and competence tracking using tools like Skills Matrices.
Improve – Establishing a structured feedback loop and regular review process to ensure SOPs evolve with the business and drive continuous improvement.
Through real-life case studies and practical examples, we’ll explore how to ensure your processes do the heavy lifting, creating a culture where improvement is constant, and chaos is left behind.
