CONSULTING / WORKFLOW AUDITS
Workflow Audits & Business Assessments
Find out what's slowing your business down.
Over time, even well-run businesses develop complicated processes. Tasks are duplicated, information gets lost between systems, approvals slow down and teams rely on manual workarounds.
A workflow audit helps identify where these problems occur and what can be done to improve them.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions.
How long does a workflow audit take?
It depends on the scope. A focused review of a single workflow can be completed relatively quickly, while an audit spanning multiple teams or departments takes longer to allow for stakeholder conversations and proper assessment. We agree a realistic timeframe with you before work begins.
Do we need to change our existing software?
Not necessarily. Many findings relate to how systems are configured, connected or used rather than the systems themselves. Where a platform change would genuinely help, we'll explain why — but improving what you already have is often the most practical path.
Can you audit workflows across multiple departments?
Yes. Cross-departmental workflows are often where the most valuable findings appear, because handovers between teams are a common source of delay, duplication and lost information.
What information do you need to get started?
Typically an initial conversation about your objectives, access to the people involved in the workflow, and visibility of the systems and documents the work moves through. We keep the burden on your team as low as practical.
What happens after the audit?
You receive a clear assessment of the current state, the issues we've identified and a prioritised set of recommendations. From there you can implement the changes internally, or engage Grane to support implementation — whichever suits your team.
