What is digital accounting?
Good process work doesn't begin with isolated individual steps, but with the big picture. Which processes interlock? Where do delays, media breaks, or unclear responsibilities arise? Which processes have evolved historically but are no longer efficient today?
At SGH, we always analyse business processes in the context of organisation, roles, data flows and existing systems. This is how we create the basis for reliable decisions and improvements that don't just work on paper.
A key focus of our work lies in business process analysis and the structured further development of workflows. This includes analysis and process optimisation, as well as preparation for later automation, digitisation, and implementation.
Management consultancy for process optimisation with clear structures
As a management consultancy specialising in process optimisation, we help companies to make existing workflows transparent and systematically improve them. This is because only when processes are clearly described and logically structured can they be permanently optimised and meaningfully digitised.
Therefore, our work not only includes evaluating existing processes, but also their clean modelling and process documentation. For this, we use modern standards such as Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) as needed, in order to represent process structures in a transparent, understandable, and implementable way.
This creates clear process diagrams, providing companies with a reliable foundation for digital transformation, process automation, and organisational development.
Business Process Analysis as the basis for effective process optimisation
Well-founded process improvement requires a solid baseline. Therefore, effective process optimisation consulting often begins with the question of how processes actually run today and where there is potential for improvement.
As part of our work, we employ various business process analysis approaches to examine workflows, highlight bottlenecks, and make optimisation potential tangible. This is not only about efficiency but also about transparency, responsibilities, and the ability to integrate with existing system landscapes and organisational frameworks.
From this analysis, we, together with our clients, develop target images for leaner, clearer, and more manageable processes. SGH supports companies not only conceptually but also in the practical implementation of defined measures.
Process analysis methods for improved operations and decisions
Which process analysis methods are sensible depends on the initial situation, complexity, and objectives. SGH relies on tried-and-tested approaches such as business process analysis, as-is analysis, target-as-is comparison, and process recording to systematically capture and soundly evaluate workflows.
For the visualisation and modelling of processes, we use process mapping, BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation), swimlane diagrams, flowcharts, or end-to-end process analyses, depending on the requirements. In addition, methods such as root cause analysis, lead time analysis, bottleneck analysis, process key figures, or value stream mapping are used to identify weak points and derive targeted areas for improvement.
This not only creates understandable process representations, but also concrete foundations for optimisation, standardisation, digitalisation and automation.
Business process management as a basis for digitalisation
Business process management is far more than mere process description. It creates the basis for active control, comprehensible documentation, and systematic development of business processes.
For SGH, business process management is therefore a central lever for supporting companies in digitalising their processes. When processes are clearly analysed, described, and prioritized, digital solutions can be implemented much more effectively.
Depending on the requirement, we support companies in,
- to standardise processes,
- Improving handovers between departments,
- sharpening responsibilities,
- Preparing processes for later automation,
- and process work to existing systems and organisational structures.
So will process management become the foundation for effective change in the company.
Process automation and process digitisation
put into practice
Not every process needs to be completely rebuilt. Often, the biggest impact can be made by specifically simplifying, digitising or partially automating existing workflows. This is precisely where our consulting comes in.
Building on a sound analysis, we support companies in reducing manual activities, improving information flows, and designing processes that function more reliably and efficiently in daily work.
In doing so, we consider process automation and process digitalisation not in isolation, but in connection with existing systems, roles and organisational requirements. This ensures that digital changes are not only technically possible, but also meaningful and sustainable within the company.
Process management consultancy with integration to systems and organisation
Processes are never isolated. They are connected to specialist areas, systems, and organisational frameworks. Therefore, SGH process management consulting always sees itself as an interplay of expertise, structure, and technical feasibility.
In addition to process optimisation, we also support companies with topics closely related to ERP-based applications, software solutions, system landscapes, and the integration of new applications into existing environments. It is precisely this connectivity that is crucial in the process work.
Processes must be designed not only to be logically sound internally, but also to align with the solutions used and the company's organisational structure. This way, process work becomes not a theoretical model, but an effective contribution to corporate development.
Implementation rather than pure
Advice
Many companies have already experienced process documentation, workshops, or concepts without any lasting real-world changes. Therefore, one point is particularly important to SGH: active support during implementation.
For us, this means that process optimisation doesn't end with a recommendation. We support companies in making changes feasible and integrating them into existing structures. This also includes guidance in the implementation of processes, systems, and organisational structures.
This is crucial, especially in transformation and digitalisation projects, for developing measurable improvements from conceptual ideas.
Which companies Our consulting for process optimisation particularly relevant is
Our consultation is particularly useful for companies that
- you want to analyse and make your business processes more transparent,
- want to specifically improve inefficient or outdated processes,
- wish to document, standardise and further develop processes,
- want to approach process automation and process digitisation in a structured way,
- want to make good use of BPMN or other process description methods,
- To want to combine process work with existing systems and organisational requirements,
- to seek a partner who not only advises but also actively supports implementation.
Effectively developing SGH business processes
Efficient processes don’t happen by chance. They are the result of clear analysis, structured development, and consistent implementation. This is precisely what SGH supports.
We help companies to make business processes understandable, realise potential for improvement, and effectively integrate digitalisation into the organisation.
If you are looking for a partner who not only describes processes but also improves and implements them with you, SGH is your contact.
Frequently asked questions about Process optimisation consulting
What does a process optimisation consultancy service involve?
A process optimisation consultation includes the analysis of existing workflows, the identification of potential improvements, structured process documentation, and the development and implementation of more efficient processes.
When does process optimisation make sense for businesses?
Process optimisation is particularly worthwhile when business processes consume unnecessary time, lack transparency, or repeatedly cause friction due to manual steps. It helps companies to identify weaknesses precisely, effectively improve workflows, and further develop processes in such a way that efficiency, transparency, and digitalisation noticeably increase in everyday operations.
Does SGH also support process documentation and BPMN?
Yes. The SGH supports companies in the structured documentation of business processes according to modern standards such as BPMN.
Does process automation also form part of the scope of services?
Yes. We not only support companies in analysing and optimising processes, but also in process automation and process digitalisation. Depending on the requirements, this also includes workflow automation and end-to-end automation, so that processes run more efficiently and seamlessly.
Does SGH also support the implementation?
Yes. An essential part of our consulting services is active support in the implementation of processes, systems, and organisational structures.
