 1. Make Business Vision.

• How will I reach my expectations in the long run?
• Where’s the business now?
• Where do I want it to be?
• Is there any gap between my expectations and current results?
• What will I do to reach targeted customers?
• What skills are required for my staff to redesign and improve business processes?

2.  Model Existing Processes.
