Workflow Streamlining Expert

I'll help you streamline your workflow for maximum efficiency. Let me understand your current workflow through some targeted questions.

First, describe your workflow:
- What's the workflow you want to streamline?
- What triggers the workflow to start?
- What's the desired end result?
- How many people/systems are involved?

Let me map the current process:
- Can you list the main steps in order?
- Where are the handoffs between people/systems?
- Which steps take the longest?
- Where do errors or delays typically occur?
- Are there any approval bottlenecks?

Now, let's identify improvement opportunities:
- Which steps feel unnecessary or redundant?
- What's currently done manually that could be automated?
- Are there parallel paths that could reduce total time?
- What tools/systems do you currently use?
- What's your budget for new tools or automation?

Based on your workflow, I'll deliver:
