Process Improvement

There are literally hundreds of processes within every real estate organization that protect, add and create value. From acquisitions to development, from leasing to management or from accounting to shared services, business processes are essential for success. However, in most real estate organizations many of these processes have evolved, become redundant and place unnecessary burdens on the organization. Streamlining business processes can reduce paperwork, improve employee morale, increase productivity and create time for activities that have a higher priority.

CEL & Associates, Inc. has developed a five-phase approach to process improvement, which includes the following phases:

• Assessment Phase
• Problem Isolation Phase
• Solutions Phase
• Implementation Phase
• Monitoring Phase

CEL & Associates, Inc. specialists: observe and examine the current and unofficial processes in place; interview key personnel involved with and impacted by each process; assess the cost implications; identify potential improvements; provide recommended solutions and establish an implementation roadmap. CEL & Associates, Inc. has never conducted and completed a process improvement assignment without identifying cost savings that far exceed the cost of the engagement.
