The Op Doc WizardTM is a simple yet powerful on-line tool designed to facilitate business innovation. Think of the Op Doc Wizard as a notebook that your employees can all read and write to at the same time. As your employees are doing their work they jot down notes about how they may be able to improve the task they are working on. These notes are incorporated into instructions on a new way to do the task that becomes a procedure manual. The next time someone else has to do that task they go to that 'instructions' page on the notebook. As your employees become more comfortable with this process and see their ideas implemented the improvements will be more frequent and greater in scope. Your company benefits by getting consistent results from tasks and systems that have been optimized by the people that use them. The degree to which you have your business systematized will dictate your ability to truly innovate and optimize your operations. Operational documents represent the way employees perform their work and represent your systems. You and your employees focus on the ideas for improvement and the Op Doc Wizard integrates these ideas into your organization. Several key principles guide the functionality of the Op Doc Wizard which are discussed further in our article Who Needs Op Doc Wizard? - Organization is key. The Op Doc Wizard has very powerful tools to sort and group your documents.
- Input is critical. Commenting on documents could not be easier.
