In a well-oiled organization, every team member should be dealing with processes on a daily basis. It’s not just an issue for managers. Everybody, from top to bottom, should be able to contribute to how processes are organized.
Processes, workflows, procedures, SOPs—they’re like algorithms in code. The difference is that these algorithms are used by people, not machines.
