Process Transformation
What is Process Transformation?
"Process Transformation" is the fundamental redesign and optimization of business processes to achieve substantial improvements in efficiency, effectiveness, and value creation. It involves rethinking end-to-end workflows, often supported by digital technologies such as automation, analytics, and cloud platforms, to align operations with strategic goals.
Process transformation differs from incremental process improvement, which focuses on gradual enhancements, by emphasizing large-scale changes in how work is performed. It is frequently a core component of broader digital transformation initiatives.
