Why process comes before legal advice

Points to note about the above sample business process:

1.  there are 3 process stages (ie Order, Process, Delivery) and 16 process steps;

2.  the steps for legal advice are circled in red, typically they are legally-relevant documents;

3.  all steps require codification or definition. It helps to do it with both text and a graphic.

Contact us if you want a copy of our Needs Assessment Guide. It explains in more detail how the following items help save time and money by defining process before doing legal work:

1.  product graphics  (illustrates the product or service offering for better communication);

2.  product glossary  (defines key words, technical terms, jargon, and product components);

3.  product map  (links the different components, parts or elements of a product or service);

4.  product definition (describes the product and names and definitions of components); and

5.  other documentation - (eg process map, value chain, business model definition).
