Simplifying processes to eliminate unnecessary complexity and work steps has the greatest impact when the scope is across a large client base, spanning multiple business units and geographies.\u00a0\u00a0 With common systems and a global organization increasingly the norm, more companies are pushing to complete the puzzle by implementing common work processes that require standardization, with local statutory requirements as the only exception.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, a Peeriosity member at a large global technology company created an iPollingTM<\/sup> question to better understand the shift to global work processes for members who had global operations.\u00a0 Using Peeriosity\u2019s patent-pending design, the poll results quickly populated real-time. Members at companies that completed the poll could then see how others responded and, using Peeriosity\u2019s integrated Peer Mail system, contact peers for additional discussion and follow-up.<\/span><\/p>\n

The poll results show that 71% of global companies have documented global processes, although only 25% have one standardized documented way to perform a process<\/a>, with the other 46% having more than one.\u00a0 Only 29% of global companies have minimal or no documented global processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ipolling<\/span><\/p>\n

The follow-up question asked how extensively processes were documented globally, and whether or not the scope included all processes or only key processes.\u00a0 At 59% of the companies, at minimum key processes are documented globally and, at 17% of the companies, all work processes have global documentation.<\/span><\/p>\n
