operations managementThis is a guide to navigating Flevy to find the documents and other resources you need related to Business Operations.  “Operations” is a broad, vague term. It can convey a lot of different meanings to different people. If you don’t find what you are looking for in this article, please email us at support@flevy.com.

First, a very brief introduction to Flevy. We are a marketplace for premium business documents. Our documents are of the same caliber as those produced by top tier consulting firms, like McKinsey, Bain, Accenture, BCG, and Deloitte. In fact, we have ex-consultants from all these firms selling on Flevy. Furthermore, most of our documents were developed by seasoned executives and consultants with 20+ years of experience.

We have thousands of documents, so it may appear cumbersome to find exactly the documents you need! To address this issue, we have organized the documents into curated sets of “business toolkits.” Each toolkit consists of a set of training guides (typically in PowerPoint form) that explain how to perform a specific business initiative (e.g. Strategic SourcingProcess ImprovementCost Management). In most cases, these are the same frameworks used by consultancies when they deploy their project teams to Fortune 500 clients.

Operations Business Toolkits

Here are several Operations business toolkits:

We have over 250+ business toolkits and adding more weekly. Peruse our full inventory here.

Operational Excellence

Process Improvement involves analyzing and improving existing business processes in the pursuit of optimized performance. The goals are typically to continuously reduce costs, minimize errors, eliminate waste, improve productivity, and streamline activities.

As we continue to deal with COVID-19 and its economic aftermath, most organizations will prioritize Business Process Improvement initiatives. This is true for a few reasons. First, Process Improvement is one of the most common and effective ways of reducing costs. As the global economy slows down, Cost Management will jump to the forefront of most corporate agendas.

Secondly, a downturn typically unveils ineffective and broken business processes. Organizations that once seemed agile and focused during periods of growth may become sluggish and inefficient when demand drops off.

Lastly, COVID-19 has expedited Digital Transformation for most organizations. One of the quickest and most impactful forms of Digital Transformation is Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Thus, we have included numerous RPA frameworks within this Stream.
