Business Operating Guides
Practical Guides for Running Business Activities
A business operating guide provides practical information for understanding and performing defined business activities.
Lamtas develops operating guides for departments, teams, service functions, administrative activities, internal operations, and specific business processes.
A guide can be narrower than a comprehensive operations manual while providing more practical detail than a high-level operating framework.
It can combine selected procedures, responsibilities, workflows, checklists, operating guidelines, and supporting information into a user-friendly reference.
Source materials may include operations manuals, procedures, process documentation, workflow information, checklists, policies, notes, and interviews.
Specialist professional review should be obtained where the guide contains regulated, legal, safety, financial, technical, or professional requirements.
