● In every organization, as they grow, it
becomes a need to design and use flow to
approve operations or steps in processes.
● At lots of companies operations like
purchases, pickings, expenses… require a
review or to be supervised to be able to
ensure quality before moving forward in the
business process.

● The validation workflow that fits an
organization might not work for another
one.
● If some key operations are not supervised
you could lose the control over the
company direction or not reach the goals.
● Not all operations have the same relevance
or impact.
● As we go up in the organization chart,
people often lacks time for day-to-day
tasks.

The balance
● We need to balance the complexity of the
validation workflow with the benefits we can
potentially obtain.
● Some factors to consider:
○ Delegate and distribute workload.
○ Keep an agile process that does not hurt
productivity.
○ Be able to control operations that are
performed in the company.
