We are all about operational strategy.

Process Design & Optimisation

Your processes are fundamental to the functioning of your organisation. We are experts in mapping, analysing, redesigning, and building processes that help your organisation operate efficiently, consistently, and with clarity.

Processes define how work gets done. They influence cost, speed, quality, customer outcomes, and staff experience. When processes are inconsistent, unclear, or overly complex, teams work harder than they need to, mistakes occur more often, and customers experience delays or frustration. When processes are well designed, they create a strong foundation for performance by providing structure, visibility, and reliability.

LSI has worked across a broad range of industries, giving us a deep understanding of better practice within and across sectors. This breadth allows us to take a wide lens when assessing how workflows through your organisation. We design solutions that are fit for purpose, tailored to your operating environment, and matched to your level of capability and maturity.

Our work spans redesigning existing processes, simplifying what has become complicated over time, and building new processes to support growth, change, and improved performance.

Why Process Design & Optimisation Matters

Processes influence every part of an organisation. When they are well designed, they support:

  • Clear expectations and consistent performance
  • Streamlined workflows that reduce duplication and waste
  • Better control and stronger compliance
  • Reliable customer experiences
  • Improved productivity across teams
  • Clearer handoffs and accountability
  • Faster decision making and fewer bottlenecks

Many organisations recognise the need to redesign processes when performance begins to drift or when customer complaints increase. However, process issues often build up slowly over time. Small inefficiencies accumulate, workarounds emerge, and changes in technology or structure can create gaps or duplication. Without intervention, these issues can significantly affect operational performance.

Good process design provides clarity and structure. It also establishes the foundation for digital transformation, automation, and future process enhancement. Strong processes help organisations adapt more easily to new challenges, customer expectations, or operational requirements.

Our Approach

We help organisations redesign and optimise their processes using LSI’s proprietary process:

Diagnose | Design | Deliver – A structured model that connects strategy to execution.

This ensures improvements are grounded in evidence, shaped with your teams, and embedded in a way that supports long-term consistency and performance. When delivering our process design and optimisation services this translates to the following:

1.

Diagnose

We map how work currently flows across teams to understand where tasks slow down, where variation occurs, and where clarity is missing. This includes reviewing documentation, observing work practices, and analysing performance data to identify the specific steps that create delay, rework, or confusion.

2.

Design

We create streamlined and easy-to-follow processes that support efficiency, consistency, and quality. This may involve removing unnecessary steps, defining roles, improving handoffs, strengthening controls, or introducing clearer standards. The aim is to build processes that are simple to use and fit the way your organisation operates.

3.

Deliver

We help your teams transition to the redesigned processes by providing guidance, supporting training, and refining documentation. We also establish routines that ensure processes are followed, monitored, and improved over time so the benefits are sustained.

How We Can Help

Risk Management and Legal Compliance

We help ensure your processes comply with legal, regulatory, and industry requirements. Strong process design reduces the likelihood of errors, strengthens controls, and ensures that staff understand their responsibilities. A clear process minimises risk and supports audit readiness.

Increased Efficiency

Through process mapping and redesign, we help identify waste, duplication, and unnecessary steps. This leads to more efficient resource use, better workflow, and improved throughput. Efficiency gains often translate directly into reduced operational cost and better customer outcomes.

Improved Consistency

We help organisations develop processes that are consistent across teams and locations. Consistency builds reliability and reduces variation, which leads to improved service quality and stronger customer trust.

Quality Control

We work with organisations to establish standards, controls, and quality checkpoints that help maintain a consistent level of quality across products and services. Clear expectations reduce rework, support better decision making, and create more predictable outcomes.

Increased Transparency

We clarify responsibilities and accountabilities within the process. Clear ownership ensures that staff understand their role, tasks are completed as required, and compliance with internal policies can be monitored effectively. Improved transparency strengthens governance and provides leaders with greater visibility of performance.

Why Work With LSI

LSI has extensive experience helping organisations design and optimise processes that improve performance, reduce risk, and support long-term success. Our approach is practical and evidence based. We work directly with your teams to understand how work is delivered today, what barriers they face, and how processes can be improved in a way that is sustainable.
Clients value our ability to simplify complexity, design clear and achievable processes, and support implementation in a way that builds capability across teams. We focus on creating processes that are easy to use, well understood, and aligned with organisational goals.
If your organisation is looking to redesign processes, strengthen operational efficiency, or improve quality and reliability, we can help you build the processes needed to support performance and growth.

Case Studies
