Pick a bounded problem
Look for a frequent task with clear rules, an accountable owner and visible delays. Measure how long work takes, where it waits and how often someone corrects it.
Simplify before connecting
Map the trigger, participants, decisions and result. Remove unnecessary handoffs and repeated information entry. Standardize the identifiers and inputs that the workflow depends on.
Keep people in control
Define permissions, delegation and the exceptions that need human judgment. Decide who will handle a stalled case and what should happen when a connected service becomes unavailable.
Pilot, observe, improve
Test ordinary and unusual cases with actual users. Start with a controlled pilot and compare completion times and rework against the baseline. Expand after the process is working reliably, with a support owner and useful operating instructions.
