With extensive experience in procurement asset management, Apurva revamped the process to ensure compliance and improve resource allocation effectively.
Successfully led a project to streamline administrative operations within a large government organization. This involved conducting a thorough needs assessment, developing and implementing new workflows, and streamlining key processes.
Initial Approach:
Started with a general understanding of existing administrative processes.
Stopped at a high-level overview, potentially missing critical details and pain points.
Continued with existing procedures, which may be inefficient or outdated.
Using a whiteboard for brainstorming:
Brainstormed with the team to visually map out current administrative workflows.
Analyzed the identified inefficiencies, such as bottlenecks, redundancies, and areas for improvement.
Results :
Significantly improved process efficiency: By leveraging visual workflow mapping and collaborative brainstorming, identified and eliminated redundant tasks.
Enhanced team collaboration: Facilitated improved communication and collaboration among team members through whiteboard brainstorming sessions, leading to a shared understanding of process challenges and a collective approach to solutions.
