Illustrative brief · Proposed approach

A proposed exercise.

A recurring weekly report requires repeated manual work. Where should we start?

Start withThe current process, source files, report definitions, handoffs, and examples of rework.

  1. Map each step and confirm who uses the output and what decision it supports.
  2. Check repeated transformations and error points. Define a small, reversible improvement.
  3. Pilot with a review checkpoint and document ownership, exceptions, and the manual fallback.
What I would deliver
A process map, pilot checklist, and operating scorecard.
How I would evaluate it
Compare reporting accuracy, time spent, and rework against an agreed baseline.
