For NGOs, making the most of limited resources is not just a goal – it’s a necessity. The effectiveness and sustainability of services strongly rely on how well organizations can navigate resource constraints while delivering high-quality outcomes. The pressing question arises: how can NGOs reduce costs and simultaneously enhance the overall quality of their services? One of the most effective strategies for addressing this challenge lies in the identification and improvement of workflow processes. Yet, many organizations encounter significant hurdles when it comes to implementing these changes. Often, they face uncertainty about where to begin or lack a structured plan to guide their efforts. Therefore, it is crucial for these organizations to explore practical solutions to optimize their processes, thereby increasing service efficiency even in the face of limited resources. In this workshop, participants will acquire essential skills and tools necessary for mastering the art of process improvement. Through a blend of group discussions, experiential learning activities, and case sharing, participants will have the opportunity to brainstorm and formulate innovative ideas for process improvement and develop actionable strategies to help organizations achieve both “cost-saving” and “efficiency enhancement”. This approach not only fosters immediate improvements but also empowers participants to better ...
