How to use this checklist: Tick every statement that is currently true in your business. Be honest — this is for your benefit. Your score and recommendations update automatically.
Time Waste
Tasks are frequently waiting for approval from one person who becomes a bottleneck
Employees spend time searching for information, files or contacts they need
Meetings happen regularly without a clear agenda or outcome
Work is duplicated — more than one person does the same task unknowingly
Handoffs between team members are unclear, causing delays or dropped tasks
⚠️Quality Waste
The same mistakes or errors repeat across different team members
Outputs vary depending on who completes the task
Rework is a normal part of your workflow, not an exception
Clients or customers regularly report inconsistent experiences
Quality checks happen at the end rather than throughout the process
🔄Process Waste
There are steps in your process that nobody can explain the reason for
Approvals are required for low-risk tasks that don't warrant them
Data or information is captured more than once across different systems
Processes exist only in someone's head, not in any written form
New team members take more than 2 weeks to become independently productive
💸Resource Waste
Tools or software are paid for but not fully used by the team
High-skilled employees regularly do low-skill tasks
Inventory, materials or digital assets are purchased but unused
You frequently pay for rush delivery or expedited services due to poor planning
Team capacity is uneven — some people are overloaded while others are underutilised
