Header image: Coronavirus Workplace Processes

Coronavirus workplace processes turn health guidance into assigned, repeatable action. This collection includes eight free COVID-19 checklists informed by the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Alberta Health Services, the New York State Department of Health, and the Construction Leadership Council.

Several source documents were written during the 2020 emergency phase, so treat these workflows as adaptable starting points rather than current medical or legal instructions. Validate every control against current public-health guidance, employment law, local rules, and the risks of your workplace before use.

Can Today’s COO Still Benefit from Hammer and Champy’s Reengineering the Corporation?

Header image: Reengineering the Corporation

Management books often arrive like traveling medicine shows: familiar advice is repackaged as a miracle cure, given a dramatic name, and sold as a revolution. Michael Hammer and James Champy’s Reengineering the Corporation deserves some of that skepticism.

The short answer for today’s COO is still yes, but with limits. More than three decades after the book appeared, its examples and rhetoric feel dated. Its strongest principles remain useful: organize work around customer outcomes, reduce handoffs, give process owners real authority, and redesign a fundamentally broken process instead of automating the mess.

Business Tooth and Claw, Corporate Strategy to Win the War

Header image: Corporate Strategy: Tooth and Claw

Corporate strategy sets the overall direction of an organization: which businesses and markets it will compete in, how resources will be allocated, how the portfolio fits together, and what tradeoffs leadership is willing to make.

Those choices matter because business can be tooth and claw. In tooth-and-claw corporate competition, strategy helps the organization win the war for focus without treating every tactical move as a separate battle. A strong strategy aligns structure, resources, and execution before competition exposes the gaps.

Automate Your Exception Reports: It’s Easy, Here’s How

Header image: Automate Exception Reports

Part of the reality of managing operations at any scale is understanding that sometimes things go wrong. A step gets skipped, a number lands outside the expected range, a handoff stalls. An exception report is how you catch that moment, record exactly what happened, and act on it before a small deviation turns into a real problem. It is the first step in a critical culture where people can identify when and why a process has had a problem, so you can track problems, investigate them, and improve processes to stop those problems occurring.

The hard part is making that first step happen each and every time, with the right amount of detail, and in a way that is quick and painless to take. Done well, this is the art of an exception report: it illuminates your problems and becomes a crucial linchpin in a broader effort to improve processes and, in turn, outcomes. This Process Street guide shows you how to make that capture automatic.

Black-and-white illustration of an engineer standing beside a rack of code-hosting servers, representing the choice between Bitbucket and GitHub for version control software at a business.

If you want a large team of enterprise developers to collaborate effectively, you need to find a suitable place to host your code. Choosing a version control and repository hosting service might not seem like a big deal. But the repo host you choose can have serious consequences for your developers’ productivity and ability to build great products.

Both GitHub and Atlassian’s Bitbucket offer paying customers an unlimited amount of private and public repositories. What distinguishes them isn’t their core hosting function. It’s how they affect your project in different ways.

Business Process Analysis (Without the Jaw-Breaking Yawn)

Business process analysis is the practice of examining how work currently moves from an input to an output, then using evidence to find delays, unclear ownership, unnecessary steps, and control gaps.

That definition sounds manageable. The subject does not always. Business process management has an image problem: godawful clip art, filing cabinets, and bosses who sincerely talk about wheelhouses, paradigms, and scaffolding. The useful version is much simpler. Look closely at how work gets done, document it, and improve it.
